Unlike most people here, I have never been a Kenan fan. But I've now watched the initial 10-episode run and have been very pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable this show is. That's because it focuses on the universal challenges of managing family and work. Most of the cast is black, but that's basically irrelevant because what Kenan goes through applies to us all. And his show stays out of politics and PC-wokeness. This is one of the few new shows that seems to want to do this (for instance, the 2 new Dick Wolf FBI shows where apparently the ONLY threat to this country is white, home-grown terrorists). The cast is good, Kenan is very likeable, and I love his neurotic show producer played by Kimrie Lewis. Never been a big Don Johnson fan either but it's funny to watch him now settling into senior citizen-ness. I hope the show (set in Atlanta) is renewed although, given the ending, I guess they would have to make changes -- which I would hate to see if it meant losing Kimrie.
