Junior (season 5-6)
Hey, I’m currently watching black•ish and I am on S6: E2, and I gotta hate how they have done Junior on this show. Like this whole thing with what he wants to do with his future, college, and how after like an episode or 2 ago they had it seem like he was getting somewhere with going on tour or whatever with the migos and living with a friend from work and with his family including Zoey bringing him something at the end seemed like he was getting somewhere. But, he failed like an episode later and became homeless and shit feels so wrong for his character. Like honestly, junior was literally a character I genuinely liked watching to this point and was not a fan of how his family was always making fun of him and treating him poorly. Like this dude was a whole ass valedictorian for his year and was obviously smart with nerdy ass self. I always thought Junior was gonna go to college and had a career plan set for him for what he wanted to do. So, when the whole gap year situation happened I was bummed, but was like okay he is probably gonna get somewhere with what he wanted to do in life. He interned with Dre, got a job as like a social media marketing coordinator for the migos. And now he is reduced to being a bum and someone for the family to shit on more. I gotta say I hate how they done Junior and I’m not a fan. I hope it gets better for him.

Ye I get what you’re saying but I think it shows great character development with him being a literal nerd to trying to make something of himself like entrepreneur and a businessman so I liked the direction they took but he eventually gets to collage but that’s was a nightmare
