The series shines a spotlight on the complexities of identity and the challenges faced by families striving to preserve their cultural roots in an ever-changing world.
Featuring a talented ensemble cast led by the charismatic Anthony Anderson and the brilliant Tracee Ellis Ross, Black-ish expertly combines comedy and thought-provoking social commentary.
