The Carmichael Show (2015)
A throwback and I love it

This comedy is a throwback to All in the Family and The Jeffersons. America needs this real bad now. It is needed precisely because it IS all about race in the age of Ferguson, Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland etc. It also had me in stitches as it has some of the same perspective as Boondocks, which always cracked me up as well as being deep and insightful. Like Boondocks, it highlights in an entertaining way the predominance of apathy, fear and short sighted viewpoints that stop people from getting out in the streets and confronting injustice and racism. The parents are brilliantly acted, and the disengaged Carmichael is a perfect foil to raise difficult topics. Recommending this to my politically active friends and family.
