I found the first two episodes of Grown-ish to be highly watchable. I'm not sure it's a show that will sustain my interest enough to have me tune in every week.
There wasn't much action but I suppose thats because a strong foundation needs to be established as well as character intros. However, I do appreciate how the show will clearly be tackling important issues relevant to its demographic and will certainly be relatable to young viewers.
Initially, I wasn't sure if Yara Shahidi could carry her own show, and I'm still not convinced by her emotional range or comedic timing, but she's charming as Zoey. I do think the supporting cast is quite good.
Overall, I'm hoping to see the show really impress me in the coming weeks, it definitely has the potential to do so.
