      Season 1 – Boomerang

      2019 Comedy List
      100% Tomatometer 12 Reviews 70% Audience Score Fewer than 50 Ratings Fueled by romance, friendship, gender politics, love and of course, sex, this half-hour serialized comedy continues the story from the same-named 1992 American romantic comedy film, in which a successful executive finds out his boss is a bigger deviant than he is. The updated version follows the lives of Jacqueline Boyer's son, Bryson, and Marcus and Angela Graham's daughter, Simone, as they try to step out of their parents' shadows and create their own legacies. Viewers see a group of childhood friends as adults who are looking to build careers as marketing professionals while navigating their feelings for one another.

      Carmen Phillips Autostraddle I couldn't be more excited to have Lena Waithe's creativity out there pulling for us. Feb 20, 2019 Full Review Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune It's great to see a show centered on upwardly mobile blacks, although an early scene in a strip joint seems out of place. The dramedy is much more appealing when it takes you into the boardroom or eavesdrops on the group's game night. Feb 14, 2019 Full Review Trey Mangum Shadow and Act The razor-sharp, fast-paced dialogue often sounds like a set of trending topics on Black Twitter, but it doesn't come off as pandering; it feels authentic and relevant. Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Relaxed sequel has strong content, challenges stereotypes. Rated: 3/5 Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily it's a tale tightly told, rather you're a fan of the Boomerang of not. In fact, I would say... it might work even better if you never saw the film... the bones are strong on this one. Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Joel Keller Decider It's fun to see the basic tenets of the movie filtered through Lena Waithe's worldview. Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
