Fueled by romance, friendship, gender politics, love and of course, sex, this half-hour serialized comedy continues the story from the same-named 1992 American romantic comedy film, in which a successful executive finds out his boss is a bigger deviant than he is. The updated version follows the lives of Jacqueline Boyer's son, Bryson, and Marcus and Angela Graham's daughter, Simone, as they try to step out of their parents' shadows and create their own legacies. Viewers see a group of childhood friends as adults who are looking to build careers as marketing professionals while navigating their feelings for one another.

I couldn't be more excited to have Lena Waithe's creativity out there pulling for us. Go to Full Review Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune Feb 14, 2019
It's great to see a show centered on upwardly mobile blacks, although an early scene in a strip joint seems out of place. The dramedy is much more appealing when it takes you into the boardroom or eavesdrops on the group's game night. Go to Full Review Trey Mangum Shadow and Act Feb 13, 2019
The razor-sharp, fast-paced dialogue often sounds like a set of trending topics on Black Twitter, but it doesn't come off as pandering; it feels authentic and relevant. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Mar 6, 2019

Relaxed sequel has strong content, challenges stereotypes. Go to Full Review Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 13, 2019
it's a tale tightly told, rather you're a fan of the Boomerang of not. In fact, I would say... it might work even better if you never saw the film... the bones are strong on this one. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
