Grown-ish

Grown-ish is an easy watch with characters who are lovable. I see quite a few reviews regarding folks being upset about the drugs, sex, lies etc....it's college! I'd say most shows centered around a family eventually encounter these topics. Grown-ish does a good job of tying a lesson to each of them.

One thing I've noticed about the show is that it promotes accepting others regardless of differences ie. Democrats and Republicans. Additionally there are a lot of apologies amongst the friend groups- I think that in itself is the most important message.

Cute show.

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'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.

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".
