#BlackAF

I really enjoyed this show. It funny and relatable. Bring on season 2!

This is funny! It's another hit from Kenya Barris. I read some of the low user ratings and have to wonder "who raised you!?" No, Kenya isn't Denzel with the acting chops, but this isn't that kind of show. It's like Black-ish, Curb Your Enthusiam, and Modern Family all rolled into one. And, it's deep fried in some really interesting, nontrivial facts that will be new to the vast majority of audiences. That's quality and you get to do it on Netflix so you can just go for it and say what you want without the censors tripping over themselves. If you like either of those shows and you know how Gen X parents are... this is probably going to be one of your new favorites.

I'm black...I'm a woman...and I'm mixed - but this show was NOT funny. I barely made it through the first ep!! I tried, I swear I did, but it just didnt "land" with me...

I was hesitant about this. I'm a dark skinned black girl who is quite frankly tired of Kenya Barris reproducing the same thing that makes me feel slightly forgotten half the time. But I still got through it, and I still laughed. There were a few episodes clearly better than others. Overall, I thought of it as a more raw version of Black-ish. Seems like Kenya had a few more things to say that could only be done though #blackAF.

If you go in without expectations, you may find yourself laughing out loud. It's not unique or novel but it's definitely entertaining.

What the he!! Do you mean there is no second season? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? I mean, I get it. You want to reach a bigger audience (franchise etc.) but couldn't you have also achieved that with another couple seasons? I've binged watched this at least six times since discovering it and each time laugh harder than the last. It's funny as hell along with edgy dialogue ... perfect casting (Rashida Jones blows me away) ..all the kids have "issues" (except for second eldest daughter, Leyah tasked with the burden of explaining just how her wacky family came to be) and right in the middle is poor "put upon" dad, Kenya who walks around with a troubled...befuddled expression as if this whole success thing is not quite what he thought it would be. Also, love the way he manages to squeeze in Black History and social commentary...it is pure genius. I was so looking forward to Season #2. Sooooo I repeat .... WHAT THE HELL, DUDE????
