that was a solid ending of a show, even if the season was much shorter than i'd have liked. what will be very interesting 25 years from now is how rewatching the show will give you MUCH more insight as to what was happening in society than you would get from the 80s-90s shows, which occurred much more within a vacuum. the fact that there was a serious fight over an episode that was on point when it would have FIRST aired and only allowed when its accuracy was laid bare for all, a fight that led to the creator leaving the show, but the show continuing...it will be interesting to have either a reunion or documentary that talks about all of the envelopes Black-ish pushed during its run.
