Dre Johnson (Anthony Anderson) has it all: a great job, a beautiful wife, Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross), four kids and a big home in a classy neighborhood, but as a black man, he begins to question whether all his success has brought too much cultural assimilation for his family. With the help of his father (Laurence Fishburne), Dre begins to try to create a sense of ethnic identity for the members of his family that will allow them to honor their background while preparing them to embrace the future.

3/4
TV comedies, especially good ones like "black-ish" and "The Conners," know when they have to "pivot," but especially know when to arrive back at the same place where all sitcoms eventually end up: In the warm, swaddling embrace of family.

See more 04/02/2021 This show is not getting the respect and attention it deserves! It tackles extremely sensitive social issues in a light and fast way (less than 30 minutes) while not sugar coating and standing it's ground! All while making us laugh! It's by far one of my favorite shows! See more Read all reviews
