The Upshaws
They're back and as imperfect as ever.
Created by Regina Y. Hicks, Wanda Sykes
On Netflix
A warm, character-driven family sitcom about a working-class Black household navigating imperfection with humor and genuine affection.
Bennie Upshaw, the head of a Black working class family in Indianapolis, is a charming, well-intentioned mechanic and lifelong mess just trying his best to step up and care for his family and tolerate his sardonic sister-in-law, all without a blueprint for success.
