Season 1 Review: Black-ish, is fun, cool, and hip. It just so happens to also have a lot going on upstairs. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Yes, "black-ish" can be fiercely funny, sharply observed, and unfailingly good-humored about the racial divide. But just beyond that glossy surface is a serious and even compelling undercurrent. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The pilot sometimes takes a few broad strokes to cement its concept but there’s a believable dynamic in the core of this family that works to the degree that most sitcoms take years to develop. Read full review

Season 7 Review: As expected, both sitcoms [black-ish and The Conners] approach the national tragedy in their own unique ways. "Black-ish" is the brighter of the two, the optimist that finds light at the end of the tunnel in the trustiest of sitcom conventions. Read full review

Dre can be absolutely insufferable, but the kids and Bow make up for that. This show has brought me to tears and brought me comfort the moment I sat down to binge the first season. It's very good, self-aware, smart, and aged like wine the longer the seasons went on.
