Black-ish, is fun, cool, and hip. It just so happens to also have a lot going on upstairs.

Black-ish has a lot packed into its oft-amusing opening half-hour. It’s both fairly daring and also endearing, sharply written but with an overdose of narrative exposition. The kids and adults are all well-cast and there’s no laugh track to gum anything up.

77 is not good enough. I grew up watching this show. It's the best show in the world

You know, when I started watching this TV Show I was looking for a comedy to just watch and laugh but when it got down to it I also cried. This TV Show addresses real life issues that black families face and at one point in it. I really understood the show and I realized that as a black person I also face some of those issues. Watch Black-ish trust me you wont regret it, cause I did'nt.

The series has transformed from hokey formula into one of the goofiest, most reliably enjoyable comedies around.

Most of the jokes work, some of them don't but creator and executive producer Kenya Barris never stops addressing race in unflinching ways.

Funny, endearing, and studded with little truths about family life and race relations, the series tackles topics network TV rarely dares to touch--but says little we don't already know.

In all, black-ish is Everybody Hates Chris meets Modern Family, but not quite as funny as either. Well, not yet, at least.

In the pilot, the writing hews toward the obvious and predictable, perhaps in part because it’s racing along to establish the premise.

Dre can be absolutely insufferable, but the kids and Bow make up for that. This show has brought me to tears and brought me comfort the moment I sat down to binge the first season. It's very good, self-aware, smart, and aged like wine the longer the seasons went on.
