The series, which airs on ABC, and its two stars, Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross, all won nominations for the Globes. They play middle-class black parents who worry that their children do not understand or respect their heritage. Parenting and relationships are universal experiences shown through the lens of this particular family, but while still a sit-com, the show has not shied away from topics like Black Lives Matter and police brutality towards minorities.  “We are not trying to please any one core,” Anderson told us.  “We are trying to be true to ourselves.  The authenticity with which these stories are told resonates with the people.”
