Dre Johnson (Anthony Anderson) has it all: a great job, a beautiful wife, Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross), four kids and a big home in a classy neighborhood, but as a black man, he begins to question whether all his success has brought too much cultural assimilation for his family. With the help of his father (Laurence Fishburne), Dre begins to try to create a sense of ethnic identity for the members of his family that will allow them to honor their background while preparing them to embrace the future.

Ashley Ray-Harris AV Club Black-ish's "Election Special" is full of family-friendly moments you can send to frustrated and/or frustrating relatives prior to Election Day. Rated: B+ Oct 30, 2020 Full Review Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times In short, each member of the Johnson family represents a different aspect of dealing with life during COVID-19, while also poking fun at how well we are or are not managing this seemingly endless crisis. Oct 30, 2020 Full Review Verne Gay Newsday TV comedies, especially good ones like "black-ish" and "The Conners," know when they have to "pivot," but especially know when to arrive back at the same place where all sitcoms eventually end up: In the warm, swaddling embrace of family. Rated: 3/4 Oct 30, 2020 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Salt Lake Tribune It's funny. It'll make you laugh while it makes you think. Well, viewers who aren't angry and closed-minded will laugh and think. Oct 30, 2020 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media By slipping sly commentary into smooth, expert comedy, Black-ish scores -- expect this special to spark many a kitchen-table conversation, and possibly even inspire the next generation of activists. Rated: 4/5 Oct 30, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This show is not getting the respect and attention it deserves! It tackles extremely sensitive social issues in a light and fast way (less than 30 minutes) while not sugar coating and standing it's ground! All while making us laugh! It's by far one of my favorite shows! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
