I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a bigger disconnect between the alleged sexiness and charisma of a character and what actually comes off on-screen!   Repeat after me: Junior! Is! Not! Sexy!  I DO not need to see him wearing a sheer nipples-bearing shirt from Prince’s cast-offs in the morning after a threesome.  Like, I don’t know, *maybe* the writing team thinks that Junior going from the biggest fucking dweeb on ‘Blackish’ to this total fucking sex-god in ‘Grownish’ is “character growth,” but the writers aren’t good enough to make it work.  I hate everything about this.

I loved Blackish's Junior. He was a sweet, kind, smart little nerd, and I LIKE sweet, kind, smart nerds. So yeah, to suddenly make him this playa, this frat boy, this hustler...it does not work. He's cute enough, but lacks the charisma and sculpted everything to make us buy this, and there is NO NEED for it. Not everyone needs to be a baller, and Junior was never one, and Andre doesn't need to be one. It's bizarro.
