Grown-ish

First - I wish IMDB wouldn't allow people to review shows after having watched any less than 3 episodes. It takes many shows to hit their grove. Even the best shows from the past 30 years have had uninspiring pilots.

I like this show. I will admit that it can be lost on anyone who has not been in college within the past 20 years. It attempts to play off of issues many of millennials face such as social media and shallow dating scenes.

If you're watching this because you like black-ish, you may be disappointed. This show is not meant to be black-ish. It has some cameos but that's about it.

I'm half way through season 3, boy it's been hard to get this far. Zoey is such an unlikeable character, I couldn't stand her in Black-ish, she was such a brat and she's not much better in college, in fact, she's worse!

Her sense of self-importance, her self-obsession and vanity are so off-putting. Also things seem to come so easy to Zoey, not much background of her actually working hard to earn any of the big breaks she gets. She's always the victim in the stupid situations she puts herself in. I could never be friends with a Zoey.

It's the friend group that does it for me. Love Nomi, Ana and the Twins!

Yara is beautiful but not a great actress, zero depth and no emotional bandwidth, scenes of her trying to be upset or cry are just painful to watch.

At this stage, I am hate watching until Junior arrives, I cannot wait and hope he redeems this show, he is a character I could binge watch with love!

I grew up in the era of The Cosby Show and A Different World. This is NOT "A Different World." This is a show for young adults, not young kids. It doesn't hide the fact the drugs, promiscuity and binge drinking is rampant on college campus. It shows what happens when your precious darlings, who you think can do no wrong, do. I don't laugh out loud but I love the characters and how they deal with what college kids are facing today...truthfully, what they have been facing for the past 30 years minus social media.

I haven't watched Black-ish but as a college student, I thought I might like Grown-ish. It's not very reflective of my own college experience but I do enjoy the show. The characters are likeable and I appreciate the way that each episode has a central theme.

I've read reviews of people claiming this is exactly how college life is, that's a boldface lie. Unless this is how you make it, this show is no way close to life unless you purposely go out your way. The show itself started off pretty enjoyable until I realized how unlikable the main character is. Like damn ,the world revolving around her seems so interesting and she seems so dull and plastic. Yara makes this show unwatchable ,her friends seem unrelistic asf but more interesting. If this show was more about the friends and I mean moreee about the friends I'd watch it. As of now everytime I hear the main character make everything about herself, I just can't do it.
