#blackAF is a Netflix Original comedy series created by the one and only Kenya Barris, known for creating hits like Black-ish, Grown-ish, and Mixed-ish. This mockumentary-style show follows the life and family of Barris himself, played by himself, as he navigates the world of Hollywood with his wife Joya, played by Rashida Jones, and their six children.
This show is a perfect blend of humor, reality, and satire. It creates a funny narrative about the everyday problems that people go through, but with an added touch of Black culture that is sometimes overlooked in the media. The show employs a very impolite and shamelessly honest approach, with the characters often breaking the fourth wall to deliver witty commentary. This adds to the overall feel of the show, making it feel like an intimate portrait of the Barris family rather than a scripted TV show.
The show delves into themes such as parenting, marriage, and the complicated lives of successful Black people. Kenya and Joya try their best to balance their demanding Hollywood careers with their family
#blackAF is a series that ran for 1 seasons (8 episodes) between April 17, 2020 and on Netflix
