Despite the episode's shortcomings, Grown-ish managed to explore how Black women navigate anti-Black sexual politics without becoming diagnostic or pathologizing singleness. Go to Full Review
Erik Adams AV Club 01/06/2019
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. Go to Full Review

07/10/2021 Couldn't make it past the first three episodes. Clunky writing totally wastes the beautiful and charismatic lead. See more john s 04/14/2021 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. See more 03/11/2021 Terrible show about shallow, self-absorbed people with the typical teen drama relationships. See more 01/30/2021 So bad. These feeble attempts from Disney just keep getting worse. See more 06/28/2019 excelent!! I love it !!! See more 03/04/2019 Good show but overly childish See more Read all reviews
