The casting alone is at turns confusing and intriguing... but it could certainly make for some deeper discussions of the nuanced differences between black realities.

In both concept and casting, Mixed-ish possesses the right pieces, but it hasn't yet figured out how to fit them together in a satisfying way.

Wise, funny, patient, and full of that quality we call human kindness, something good came from that fraught childhood. "Mixed-ish" is her story and it feels like one worth hearing about.

To see where Mixed-ish lands on the comic spectrum, I guess we'll just have to wait around for a second episode. This is a decent start.

It's fairly amusing, mostly because it comes from a different point of view - a family who grew in a commune moved to the burbs in the 70s.

There's loads of potential, but the first episode is underwhelming, a little too neat, and too reliant on spelling things out for the audience.

As a comedy, mixed-ish delivers mixed results with its dated hippie humor and heavy-handed theme. But things pick up whenever the great Gary Cole... shows up to mock them and shock them into taking some responsibility.
