I really enjoy this show. It shows a different perspective that should've been included in the narrative ages ago.
Because it's honest, I could see why it would make some people uncomfortable...but that's the point.
Watch and learn, please.

I swear I loved this show. The 2 first seasons were amazing, I was laughing to death on some scene.
Then came season 3. Enjoyable but it was not at the same level at the two first. Season 3 just seemed pointless, until now I can't understand what this season was about.
And then season 4, I wasted my time with this final season. They ruined the show with a musical and they RUINED LIONEL'S CHARACTER I'M SO MAD ABOUT WHAT HE BECAME.
Conclusion: This show is amazing but those two last seasons ruined it. Thank God it was the last season.

Pretty good and hard to stop watching once you're attached to the characters.
People saying the situations are cliché or everything is a stereotype are part of the problem. These are very believable situations, probably taken from real experiences.
I am white. Why do other white people (not all) find it uncomfortable to be told we have white privilege. We do, whether you like it or not. Doesn't make you racist but it does mean you don't get treated differently because of your race. Rather than slating a show that is trying to educate and demonstrate what life is like from the perspective of people of colour, try listening and attempt to understand their side, instead of shutting down and getting defensive.

Going into this I thought it was just gonna be some cringy show about how annoying white people are, with no depth or comedy. To my surprise it's actually the opposite. The show makes fun of white people and black people. Makes fun of white liberals, white conservative, black liberals, black conservatives, literally EVERYONE. It pokes fun at itself and doesn't take itself too serious and it's actually fun to watch.
The people "boycotting" this or trolling the ratings to this are either trolls, crybabies who think that this is somehow racist to white people, or just people that haven't watched it. Anyone who's offended over this is ridiculous. It's a show that makes fun of race and how stupid both white AND black people can be. Stop whining and watch it for yourself instead of hopping on a hate bandwagon from whiny white men who can't stand to see themselves being made fun of. Everyone gets made fun of, white people are no exception. Lighten the hell up and stop taking everything so seriously. Laugh at yourselves, life's too short not to.

Everyone's different but I really enjoyed it. Maybe people giving it one star reviews didn't watch it, didn't like the title or are mad because the show is from a perspective they're not used to seeing. I'm not sure of the reason but this show is definitely worth more than one star. The acting is fantastic, the writing is witty and smart and keeps you hooked episode to episode. There's something there for everyone. I personally connected most with Lionel because being a nerdy black person has always been challenging because society tells black people they have to fit into a certain box and unfortunately a lot of black people buy into that so if you're not in the box you're on the outside. I also connected with Coco (feeling less than even though you're boss) and Troy (the pressure of living up to your parents expectations).
If you're a person trying to live up to the expectations of their parents, a person that doesn't feel pretty enough, someone who's always overlooked because of a friend, someone finding themselves for the first time, a nerd that doesn't fit in, someone who wants someone who doesn't want them back, someone who loves someone who makes you question what love is then this show is for you! There's so many stories it has to tell and it's not as simple as black and white.
Yes there are conversations about race and it's a conversation that unfortunately still needs to be had (look at the one star reviews) but it's not preachy.
Check it out for yourself! Give it at least 3 eps.
