I don't watch many comedies because most of them are just stupid. I happened to run across this one and from the first episode thought it was hilarious! Especially the characters of the aunt, grandfather and the youngest child. As someone who was in school in the 80s, I never thought about what life could be like for somebody of a mixed race. Love how they developed Rainbow's character and focused on her finding her identity as both a black and a white person.
But then suddenly all of the things that made season one great were ruined with season 2's focus on racism. Now the show is all about being black and suddenly being partially white no longer matters. Themes are more focused on the parents and less on the children which also ruined what made the first season so great. Really disappointed with the direction the producers took this show. This is why I can only give it a five-star rating instead of 10.
