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.
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.
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 a fan of all Kenya Barris shows. My DVR is set to record Black-ish, Grown-ish, and Mix-ish. I binged watched BlackAF and was impressed by the concept of the show. There is one thing that truly stands out about his shows. He always include true facts about black history. I'm a black woman and I've learned some things about our history that I didn't know. In the end, all the shows come together with a message every race can relate to. Keep up the great work KB...
I really enjoyed this show. It funny and relatable. Bring on season 2!

- 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.
