I keep expecting this beautiful girl to grow and have her persona match her outer beauty, but dammit has she been disappointing. I wanted to jump on early when Black-ish came out, I have always liked Anthony Anderson and as a dad it was just a good fit. Wife claimed we had too many shows to keep up with it, but once we saw it on Hulu we binged on it big time. The older daughter and dad relationship is kind of understood, I get it. Dad considers himself cool and the mom certainly is not, she is actually an annoying mess at times, "I want ten kids waahhh, now I am depressed I have ten kids waah." Nothing in today's society invites assholes having bunches of kids, nobody is working the fields anymore. But that is not for today.
Back to Miss Johnson, her show, Grown-ish is pretty good when it doesn't just focus on her. Her roommates are interesting, I was annoyed by the BF until these last two episodes when he stood up and showed he has a backbone. The show went on a sort of hiatus for a month but it is back and we know she just finished talking to the deans as she was caught and admitted to cheating. I loved the dad showing up and telling her he was disappointed and taking her car with him. Later when she is trying to pay for some drinks, she learns she has been caught off credit card wise too. This should be at her forefront, what else can matter more than damaging the trust with her parents by being labeled a cheater? In the real world, her ass would be home and she would find herself applying at Dairy Queen and any other restaurant where little brains can settle into for long hard lives as they realize looks aren't everything. In TV world, the fact that a guy she maybe might like one day is dating her roommate totally destroys her. Stupid actually goes to her current BF to whine that her best friend has started dating her back-up boyfriend. This goes over as well as you would think it would. He tells her to piss off.
She routinely talks to the camera and she cannot believe he threw her pretty face out, I mean look at her. I think this can only happen when you grow up being told you're so pretty every day, she actually believes that matters. When she attempts to clean things up, she falls flat on her face because she really does not know how to apologize sincerely, her younger brother has to be the voice of reason for her. It takes her a few takes but MAYBE, just maybe Zoe is starting to learn the world does not revolve around her.
