The Johnson family's eldest daughter is taking her first steps into the real world as she heads off to college. "Grown-ish" explores the first trappings of adulthood, and Zoey must navigate through the trials and tribulations of these momentous steps. Zoey discovers that once she leaves the nest, things do not always go her way. The series features "that in between place where you're not quite an adult but facing grown world problems for the first time," Kenya Barris, the show's creator and executive producer, said.

Despite the episode's shortcomings, Grown-ish managed to explore how Black women navigate anti-Black sexual politics without becoming diagnostic or pathologizing singleness.

It's a potent, college-comedy-with-basic-cable-cursing chaser to its still-formidable parent series. It's also a chance for star Yara Shahidi to soak up a spotlight.

Grown-ish, like its characters, needs to find its footing in the wild world of college - and once it does, it'll soar.

4/5

Fresh, relatable, and equally as charming as its parent show, this college-set sitcom gets just about everything right.

Couldn't make it past the first three episodes. Clunky writing totally wastes the beautiful and charismatic lead.

I am really enjoying Grown-ish, Why? because 1. its funny with some serious thrown in (which for me makes for the best comedy) 2. its real: with a. characters who have depth, all with their own weirdness, b. with real subjects being talked about drug use, sex, stress of studying, being yourself while exploring who u are, relationships. 3.with great music and with 4.sets that don't feel like a set, but feel like we really are following these students around as they experience college. 5.I also love the asides to the audience by the main character, i really love it when characters break the 4th wall and draw the audience into the action and take us into their confidence. & 6.Lastly, as another person wrote, the relationship among the characters, their realness with each other is wonderful, how they are different but are vulnerable with each other and accept each other.

Terrible show about shallow, self-absorbed people with the typical teen drama relationships.

So bad. These feeble attempts from Disney just keep getting worse.
