    This tv show is not Black-ish.But in my opinion it aproaches society today in the same way,directly,even if not always in what you may consider the right way.If you want a family friendly show,this may not be for you.On the other hand,if you're looking for a show that gets real about issues like relationships,racism,drug use etc in college this is it.It takes a while to get there but it does,while still being fun and sometimes even moving. Also everyone looks fantastic.

    I like Black-ish, but I think this spin-off is extremely bad. The show is trying too hard to switch the character of Zoey from a super popular high school queen to a dork-ish college girl. She is exaggerating everything around her. On top, the themes being treated such as drug addiction are superficial and are not consistent throughout the show. In one episode Zoey is a bad girl who doesn't respect her new friends, on the other is a drug addict, now, in the third episode it seems that she has fallen in love after kissing a guy. Instead of the writers creating a complex character, they are creating a new uni-dimensional character every episode. Don't waste your time on it. Go see Freaks and Geeks or the 70s show instead.

    I have never seen "Black-ish" but "Grown-ish" came on one night and I decided to watch it. I was surprised at the show's quality, which although it has issues, rivals the shows on mainstream networks. The soundtrack is great--perfectly crafted for the show's target audience, many of the jokes land well, the acting is adequate, and the plot is both interesting and topical. It seems that Disney is taking the rebranding from ABC Family to Freeform seriously, as prior to the relaunch ABC Family was a joke of a network filled with over-dramatic poorly scripted shows staffed by former Disney Channel actors. This show however seems to have semi-serious actors/actresses and has no problem with pushing the edges of YA entertainment. I will continue watch and see if it is able to develop into something. It's a shame "Girl Meets World" was not delayed a couple years, aged up, and aired alongside this as a Freeform flagship show.

    Highly disappointed,Im going to buy a different world dvd's. This show is way over the top.From the profanity, drugs, the overly aggressive sexual scene made me cringe and makes me want to go back to black-ish. Oh yea... an she narrates and looks at the camera. so a blind person can listen to her tell us the whole story. To chatty ... Its just not what i expected. Something's off with the writing, story or the way its executed. Some scenes just unnecessary. This was a great idea but...Gone are the days when you can watch tv with your family and not have to be shocked at what your viewing and hearing. Its not funny its just...i dont even know.Where are the good family shows, with lessons? On DVD
