Black-ish, is fun, cool, and hip. It just so happens to also have a lot going on upstairs.
Black-ish has a lot packed into its oft-amusing opening half-hour. It’s both fairly daring and also endearing, sharply written but with an overdose of narrative exposition. The kids and adults are all well-cast and there’s no laugh track to gum anything up.

The series has transformed from hokey formula into one of the goofiest, most reliably enjoyable comedies around.
Most of the jokes work, some of them don't but creator and executive producer Kenya Barris never stops addressing race in unflinching ways.
Funny, endearing, and studded with little truths about family life and race relations, the series tackles topics network TV rarely dares to touch--but says little we don't already know.
In all, black-ish is Everybody Hates Chris meets Modern Family, but not quite as funny as either. Well, not yet, at least.
In the pilot, the writing hews toward the obvious and predictable, perhaps in part because it’s racing along to establish the premise.
