    Finally something that's real .... Why am I just seeing this show

    After surfing through countless "Black Drama" my wife and I landed on "Johnson". (Laughs expected).

    I'm so tired of watching the Hood Flicks that are constantly making POC look like monsters, bottom self citizens, and snakes oil salesmen. This show reminds me of my 6 childhood friends of 50+ years ago until today encountering 1 death due to illness. It's very refreshing seeing this type of show, that's very uplifting with everyday life and situations that actually happen. I maybe bias due to the shows reflection of my own life.

    It's starts off slow 1st 2 episodes, but then I feel like the actors and writers start to mesh. The casting is excellent and the positive messaging is real. I hope to see more shows take this approach. Todays entertainment's overloaded with negative garbage that keep us all gathered in one big filthy bed.

    I applaud Cedric and the creators of "Johnson" for taking the chance that may not be popular to many but enjoyed by few! I Hope to see more!!!

    Great Show

    This show is hilarious, yet still deals with the tough issues. The sex scenes are appropriate and not over the top. It deals with poignant issues that affect the Black family. I can't wait until season 4. I love love love love love love love this show. The season's cliff hangers are exciting. I wish it were better advertised to increase the viewing audience. We need the positive representation that this show offers to be included among this season's must-see shows. Please let us know when Bounce is going to renew the show for the next season. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, Satisfied Viewer.

    Authentic look into black culture

    It's hard to find televisions shows that dig into the black culture of music, relationships, where we come from, and the way we interact with each other. This show has done a great job at casting and creating each character to be unique and individual. I enjoy every Sunday, every new episode, and every rollout from Johnson.

    Unfair

    I find the reviews to be a bit unfair but hey art is open to criticism. Honestly, it's cool and refreshing to see this group and I am glad that they got a season 2 which is coming up. I think has the series moves along and actors gain their feet performances will increase. Chemistry will evolve anddddd this show will continue to grow. Congrats fellas!

    Love it

    Just discovered this show from a Youtube interview. Surprised by the extremely negative reviews. Characters are beginning to unfold and the subject matter is timely. May be too honest for some.
