Fresh show about living as an African american youth
18 March 2019
Honestly, I don't understand the dislike for this show. It's neither a remake nor is it trying to be better than the original. It shows the African American struggles without victimizing its main characters, which is a step in the right direction if you ask me.

Six young friends try to navigate through the perils of their lives, learning lessons of love, work, and friendship. It's not really different than shows like "New Girl" as far material and the plot lines are very interesting and well written. There are quite a few twists and this seems like a show that gives you information sparingly as it goes on rather than dropping all the information about the characters on your lap as soon as you meet them.

I like the dynamic between the cast, how natural it all feels, and yes, I'm rooting for the main couple to get together. It's got it's cliched moments but I've seen some really awful television, like cringe-worthy awful, that is rated better than this show, so ignore the hate and give it a chance.
