Hi guys welcome back this week we are joined with our friend Janell and we are discussing the hit Freeform tv show Grownish! This show really brought us together our first year of college and we loved it for a while but recently its been hard to watch... sit back and hear us discuss our thoughts on this show! 

"Grown-ish" explores the first trappings of adulthood, and Zoey must navigate through the trials and tribulations of these momentous steps. Zoey discovers that once she leaves the nest, things do not always go her way. The series features "that in between place where you're not quite an adult but facing grown world problems for the first time," Kenya Barris, the show's creator and executive producer, said.”

Did either of you watch blackish?

Does this show feel like a spin off?

What is your connection to the show does it remind you of a certain time in your life?

Before rewatching the show, I had to ask myself if the show is really as good as I thought it was season one or if I was just younger and thought it was better than what it really was

Natural Hair Representation

The amazing soundtrack of the show

• The episodes being titled based off of popular music titles

The breakfast club parallels

- The first episode

- The versatility of people you meet in college

- The friendship starting with everyone giving each other a reality  check

How did you feel about the references to blackish and the reoccurrence of characters?

- Dre

- Junior

- Rainbow

Zoe’s inner dialogue (narration)

- Telling us versus showing us how that intersects

- It’s kind of like she’s reciting the past

Each person’s backstory

- Each main character has such a strong cultural background  or distinct personality

Post production:

- Video effects its kind of like you are in a tv with the vignette

- use of montages

The relationship between Diggy Simmons and Chloe Bailey off the screen

- How would you feel having to act and work with someone you  were actually in a relationship with and pretend you are in an on  and off relationship?

Do you think this show advanced Chloe x Halle’s career?

What would you have done to make this show better and stop the shows sudden plateau?

If you could pick another cast member to be the main character who would it be and why?
