The TVI Take

Multiple Emmy nominations including Outstanding Comedy. An upper-middle-class Black family navigates cultural identity, race, and parenting.

Moderate cognitive demands from the social commentary. High educational value from its frank treatment of race in America, including episodes on police brutality, the N-word, and voter suppression. Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross anchor the ensemble.
