The new four-letter word.
Created by Keith Knight, Marshall Todd
On Hulu
A satirical comedy about racial awakening and social responsibility that uses humor and irreverence to interrogate identity, complicity, and the cost of speaking up.
Keef, an African-American cartoonist, is finally on the verge of mainstream success when an unexpected incident changes everything. He must now navigate the new voices and ideas that confront and challenge him, all without setting aflame everything he's already built.
