I’ll never get used to Regina King’s overtly feminine voice as Riley and Huey Freeman but that’s not taking away from the dopeness of Adult Swim’s late night weed, Boondocks.
One thing seems to baffle me though - their attempt to diffuse usual stereotypes by offering counteractive stereotypes. That’s a negative vs negative, two-wrong-can’t-make-a-right-situation.

But it works.

As for R.Kelly Goes To Trial, they managed to portray the whole story in a neutral light, not really taking anyone’s sides. On one end you’ve got the staunch activists and racial-card-pulling brothas that would go and cop gazillion copies of anything Kelly drops in order to show their support. On the other, you’ve got people like Jean Grae who’d rather call a spade a spade.

I like this show….so far.

P.S.
For those who missed out on the second installment, I got you covered like Geico.
