#BlackAF

Ok, so from a purely entertainment aspect, I really like this show. The situations are mostly real BUT....I do not know ANY Black families where the kids swear at and/or with their parents. Even adults fear using such language around their parents. I'm sure there are some who do, but that is the biggest unrelateable aspect in my opinion. Maybe that's a new parenting style that my 51- year old self is not used to. Aside from that, I'm a fan of Kenya's work. I watch all of his shows.

What the he!! Do you mean there is no second season? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? I mean, I get it. You want to reach a bigger audience (franchise etc.) but couldn't you have also achieved that with another couple seasons? I've binged watched this at least six times since discovering it and each time laugh harder than the last. It's funny as hell along with edgy dialogue ... perfect casting (Rashida Jones blows me away) ..all the kids have "issues" (except for second eldest daughter, Leyah tasked with the burden of explaining just how her wacky family came to be) and right in the middle is poor "put upon" dad, Kenya who walks around with a troubled...befuddled expression as if this whole success thing is not quite what he thought it would be. Also, love the way he manages to squeeze in Black History and social commentary...it is pure genius. I was so looking forward to Season #2. Sooooo I repeat .... WHAT THE HELL, DUDE????

I'm black...I'm a woman...and I'm mixed - but this show was NOT funny. I barely made it through the first ep!! I tried, I swear I did, but it just didnt "land" with me...

I was hesitant about this. I'm a dark skinned black girl who is quite frankly tired of Kenya Barris reproducing the same thing that makes me feel slightly forgotten half the time. But I still got through it, and I still laughed. There were a few episodes clearly better than others. Overall, I thought of it as a more raw version of Black-ish. Seems like Kenya had a few more things to say that could only be done though #blackAF.

If you go in without expectations, you may find yourself laughing out loud. It's not unique or novel but it's definitely entertaining.

I was nervous about this show because I'm not the biggest blackish fan, but this show has exceeded expectations. It effortlessly combines humor and information. Rashida and the kids are great. It kinda checks all the boxes humor, casting,Writing,message and relevant. Bravo.
