The show, which has received overall promising reviews from critics, chronicles the life of an affluent black family in suburban Los Angeles. Race plays front and center thematically, with family patriarch Andre Johnson (Anthony Anderson) questioning whether his family has given up an authentic "blackness" in order to join the ranks of upper-middle-class America, while his wife, Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross), keeps him from going overboard in his attempts to compensate.
