There may be hope for Black-Ish yet. Don't get me wrong, this is still a comedy that's not especially funny, but "The Talk" was a step in the right direction. While the first episode was burdened with beating us over the head with the series' central premise of Andre's gentrification paranoia, the second didn't much touch on anything racial, instead focusing on the relationships between the parents and their children. This was a mixed bag, on account of most of the child actors being terrible (though the eldest daughter is growing on me), but it gave Tracee Ellis Ross a lot more to do than she had last week, and it let Anthony Anderson play more than one note.
