Review of Boomerang

Boomerang (2019–2020)
10/10
Lena Waithe is a genius and the God(dess) of Episodic TV.
29 April 2019
A friend recommended this series. I waited several weeks before actually watching.

My friend should have led with the fact that Lena Waithe, together with Halle Berry, is this series' EP.

Lena Waithe won an Emmy for the episode of Master of None she wrote - she has a gift for crafting memorable and moving TV episodes.

Lena, Halle and the rest of their team do an excellent job of weaving in classic scenes and tropes from the Boomerang movie in a fresh and modern take.

A few of the characters are annoying - until you realize: duh, they're rich 20-somethings. Exactly as they should be.

The #pride and #metoo episodes were everything. Representation matters. Thank you!!
