3 to 4 eps in and I'm diggin' it. It's like a Black, very hip, uncensored, "Modern Family" in terms of the format where they talk to the screen. It has celebrity appearances which makes sense since the main character is more or less playing himself. Rashida Jones is great. I've never seen her like this.

I enjoyed the show, but at times the main characters went beyond unlikable. Kenya is just beyond shitty as a human in how he interacts with people.

I got into the second ep and I can't find anyone in this show to like.

I guess I dig Petty Bougie Muthafuckahs so I like them all.

I mentally checked out about halfway through the first episode despite finishing it. Kenya was a horrible actor and just super unlikable amongst a cast of all unlikable characters. Of course jokes go a long way and this had very few. It felt like a mashup of Curb Your Enthusiasm and Blackish minus the humor and fun/likable characters.
Dreadful.
Dreadful.

Kenya Barris’ semi-autobiographical Netflix comedy — which received a Season 2 pickup exactly one year ago today — will no longer return in its current form. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the semi-autobiographical sitcom is being redeveloped as a potential film franchise at the streaming giant, á la National Lampoon’s Vacation. Brazil and Mexico-set installments are reportedly in early development. (TVLine has reached out to Netflix for a comment.)
