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.
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 really enjoyed this show. It funny and relatable. Bring on season 2!
This is funny! It's another hit from Kenya Barris. I read some of the low user ratings and have to wonder "who raised you!?" No, Kenya isn't Denzel with the acting chops, but this isn't that kind of show. It's like Black-ish, Curb Your Enthusiam, and Modern Family all rolled into one. And, it's deep fried in some really interesting, nontrivial facts that will be new to the vast majority of audiences. That's quality and you get to do it on Netflix so you can just go for it and say what you want without the censors tripping over themselves. If you like either of those shows and you know how Gen X parents are... this is probably going to be one of your new favorites.
I'm Black and admittedly never watched any of the "ish" shows. In all honesty, I never heard of Kenya Barris. No shade and much respect. I'm just not much of a tv watcher. But he has a HUGE new fan because of #BlackAF. It was smart and cool and real and true - us - and hilarious and deep. It enlightened without being preachy. It was a feast for the eyes and the mind in so many beautiful ways that only we do. I literally laughed out lout. Creatively done. It made me feel very proud as a woman of color. I'm glad he kept it true.

- TriviaKenya Barris had originally cast an actor for the lead actor, a fictionalized version of himself. But the more he thought about it, the more he realized how personal the project was, so ended up casting himself in the role.
