#Black ish season 2 episode 4 series
The entire series is streaming on Hulu and Disney+, so you have no excuse for not catching up. Here are their answers, ordered by number of mentions. (My personal favorite is the extraordinary “Juneteenth,” a rollicking animated/musical episode that took cues from “Schoolhouse Rock” and “Hamilton” to explore the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States.) To pay tribute to the series’ mastery of the form, we asked “black-ish” cast members to tell us the episodes that were most meaningful to them.
But of its generation of network comedies, none carried off the very special episode with the bold, unapologetic conviction of “black-ish.”ĪBC’s family sitcom, which concludes its eight-season run on Tuesday, has used the format to tackle the N-word, police violence, Black history, even - in an episode that was hidden for years before being made available on Hulu in 2020 - the presidency of Donald Trump. No sitcom amasses a 175-episode catalog without understanding the power of 22 perfectly sculpted minutes of television.
