The Upshaws
They're back and as imperfect as ever.
Bennie Upshaw, the head of a Black working class family in Indianapolis, is a charming, well-intentioned mechanic and lifelong mess just trying his best to step up and care for his family and tolerate his sardonic sister-in-law, all without a blueprint for success.

It was funky, fresh, funny...
Wanda Sykes is brilliant.
It's both an adult comedy AND a family comedy that's blended perfect together.
Netflix hadn't shown a good sitcom since The Ranch!
