Comic and political provocateur W. Kamau Bell hosts this CNN original documentary series in which he travels to the far corners of America to explore race-based subcultures. Using humor to soften his experiences, Bell willingly subjects himself to awkward situations -- like attending a cross-burning, hate-mongering Ku Klux Klan session -- to demonstrate "the many diverse and colorful definitions of America," CNN says. Bell also visits a gated retirement community, experiences inner-city policing, spends time with spring break revelers, speaks to prison inmates, and travels to the Last Frontier.

Offers the smartest conversation about race on television this summer. And as deep and painful as that conversation can be, Bell manages to make it engaging, even friendly. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

ripper j @RJ2099 06/13/2021 The first couple of seasons were interesting, but the show seems to have lost its way. The show shifted from exploring sub cultures to social & political commentary. See more Read all reviews
