They live in the suburbs, are upper middle class, and just don&#8217;t have the same Black culture\/lifestyle that they had growing up. Their children aren&#8217;t necessarily acting White &#8211; whatever that might mean these days &#8211; but they aren&#8217;t Black enough either. For example, their oldest son Andre goes by Andy in school, and he&#8217;d rather play field hockey than basketball. He also knows nothing about giving the nod to a fellow Black man, and he never realized what a small pool of Black kids his school has.<\/p>\n<p>We (Igwe and I) love this show. We picture ourselves having the same struggles with our children (when we have them), except that in our case, we&#8217;ll be trying to raise them Nigerian. We&#8217;ll probably be forcing them to associate with fellow Nigerian kids and also appreciate how to eat correct pounded yam and ogbono soup with their hands. The struggle will be real.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing we love about this show is that while it&#8217;s a comedy, it touches on serious issues, like identity, culture, marriage, responsibilities in a marriage, etc. I&#8217;ll say you should definitely see this show. It&#8217;s only 4 episodes in and you can catch it OnDemand.
