my favorite show of all time ! did more for the culture than any sitcom has since
Season 2
I’m genuinely so glad denise left after the first season so all the interesting characters could shine, god bless whitley gilbert
This series helped up well especially after [redacted] left after the first season.
Definitely my favorite show for a reason. It's the perfect example of a show about college students who happen to be black. Nothing in this is made to appease or explain to an audience that doesn't already know what goes on. The girls that get it get it.

greatest show EVER. dwayne wanye made me into who i am today!
i really loved watching this show. it felt warm and it felt refreshing watching a good Black show as a Black person and immersing at Hillman college for a while. a great sitcom with one of the best Black love stories of all time with great characters too. this show is a treasure
such an important show that is not only funny but insightful as well!
Season 1
i remember why i stopped watching halfway through s1 last time this was vv boring but apparently it gets better so sticking with it 🤞🏾
Season 2
i can't say i didn't miss lisa bonet's beautiful face but they handled the loss/pivot to focusing on new characters really well. the little teases with dwayne and whitley are cute so far.
Season 2
easy watch and really grew beyond the silliness that was s1. crazy to think that today the show would be cancelled before getting the time to grow. and the 22 season order is almost a thing of the past, even on network tv.
but though this is a fun, smart, and cozy winter watch it’s not without it

Season 3
the rumors are true: whitley and dwayne are pretty cute
I feel so connected to these characters I’ve known for 2 months I can’t imagine watching when it aired and growing alongside the characters. One of the best shows I’ve seen and just filled with black excellence
Ahead of its time, but not as good as you remember
Grade: n\g
As Grown’ish was winding down, I wondered to myself whether it was the new G.O.A.T. when it comes to “the university experience shows”. But you ain’t the champ until you beat the champ and in my books, the best of this genre was 80s cla
