Grown-ish

This is definitely not like "A Different World". Instead, it feels like the writers did not attend college, they basically compiled the negative stereotypes college kids are labeled as & made a tv series about it. This show is shallow & basic. It's the show for college drop outs, the party kids really. "Dear White People" is a better representation & closer to the greatness of "A Different World".

Highly disappointed,

Take a highly popular family show and spin off to a show about reckless sex, casual drug use, and excessive alcohol?

Seems like such a waste. Also ignores most black college experience does not focus in alcohol and drugs in the same way as white counterparts. I am old but also an ED doctor in area with many colleges. Black kids are still not getting end up in the ED drunk or high. It did not have to be "A Differrent World" but also show some responsibility to the main audience of. "Blackish". You can tackle difficult topics without making them seem the norm. While stimulant use is widespread it is quite overstated on this show. Please make adjustments to turn the show into a positive more accurate depiction off college life.

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 loved the show because of the side characters but i really can't stand the main character. She is very self centered and a weird character to focus a whole series on.

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.
