black-ish

If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, black-ish is available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Netflix and Disney Plus right now. 8 seasons of it means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 341 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Anthony Anderson is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Disney Plus.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, black-ish is worth clearing space for. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate black-ish from the crowd. A family man struggles to gain a sense of cultural identity while raising his kids in a predominantly white, upper-middle-class neighborhood. Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross lead a cast that never overplays a joke. Across 8 seasons (2014–2022), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. Black-ish earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in black-ish. American Housewife is the obvious comparison, but black-ish earns its own place alongside it. At 8 seasons, this is a genuine commitment — one that pays off. Anthony Anderson's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
