I had high expectations for Grownish, but the premiere left me pretty disappointed. The acting and the script were pretty bad, and while voice over narration works well on Blackish, Yara's monotonous voice doesn't really entertain viewers when she does a voice over, which is for way too much of each episode. Each character seemed like an archetype and didn't have personality. What I like about Zoe in Blackish is her rudeness and cool girl personality, and that's missing in Grownish. I also feel like each episode is rushed, and there's not much focus on plot. The topics are relatable to college students, but I just don't think the jokes are being delivered well. If you liked the episode of Blackish when Zoe visited college, then you might like Grownish, but I didn't like that episode or what I saw so far of Grownish.
