There are plenty of the same strewn about Netflix, from \u201cFuller House\u201d to Jamie Foxx\u2019s latest slapstick entry, \u201cDad Stop Embarrassing Me!\u201d But \u201cThe Upshaws,\u201d created by Regina Hicks and Wanda Sykes, finds a way to even slightly twist the formula perfected by broadcast networks. Like the late \u201cOne Day at a Time\u201d reboot before it, \u201cThe Upshaws\u201d takes the opportunity to showcase a different kind of family than per sitcom usual, albeit one that should resonate with plenty of people who may not have been able to say the same previously.<\/p>\n<p>The family at the heart of \u201cThe Upshaws\u201d hinges on Bennie (executive producer Mike Epps), but not because he\u2019s so reliable. By deliberate contrast, Bennie\u2019s a layabout car mechanic who had his first son, Bernard Jr. (Jermelle Simon), in high school and his second, Kelvin (Diamond Lyons), with another woman (Gabrielle Dennis) when he thought (or at least insists) that he and his wife Regina (Kim Fields) were \u201con a break.\u201d Bennie and Regina\u2019s daughters Aaliyah (Khali Spraggins) and Maya (Journey Christine) take it all in stride, considering the tangled branches of their family tree to be just another annoyance. (Another character who likely wouldn\u2019t be on the broadcast network equivalent of \u201cThe Upshaws\u201d is Page Kennedy\u2019s gentle-ish giant Duck, Bennie\u2019s recently incarcerated friend.)<\/p>\n<p>Having such a particular blended family im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely gives \u201cThe Upshaws\u201d a specificity that really works for it, especially when the scripts lean all the way in by letting the characters react to it all individually, too. Bernard Jr. is reluctant to forgive his father for being absent for his childhood; Kelvin wants to bond with his half-siblings but isn\u2019t sure how. And while Aaliyah resists befriending Kelvin, who\u2019s about her same age, both kids inevitably bond over what every sibling inevitably bonds over: their mutual extreme embarrassment of their corny parents.<\/p>\n<p>As far as the corny parents themselves are concerned, Bennie\u2019s a realistic, but undeniably frustrating character to have at the center of a family show like this. He never entirely had to grow up, so when he\u2019s trying or recognizes that he\u2019s messed up, his apologies tend to be self-centered and entirely presumptive of Regina\u2019s forgiveness. To the show\u2019s credit, it doesn\u2019t shy away from that, especially not if Regina\u2019s sarcastic sister Lucretia (Sykes) can help it. She never fails to let Bennie hear the end of his many shortcomings (or pass up an easy punchline about them), and neither does the show.<\/p>\n<p>With Sykes and Hicks at the helm, the women of \u201cThe Upshaws\u201d resist the usual clich\u00e9s \u2014 well, with the exception of Dennis\u2019 Tasha, who\u2019s your basic \u201cother woman\u201d nightmare. Otherwise, Sykes takes advantage of every layup joke she gets, while Fields, playing a very different \u201cRegina\u201d than the one she played on \u201cLiving Single,\u201d resists letting Regina fall into the all-too-common sitcom trap of becoming a humorless void of a sitcom wife. Bennie might be the one commonality everyone in the family shares, but Regina is the sharp-witted glue that keeps it together.<\/p>\n<p>And no, the \u201cmom who gets things done while the dad gets to mess up and around\u201d conceit isn\u2019t exactly brand new territory for a sitcom to tread. But when a show is this willing to find new ways to make such tropes more grounded and relatable, it\u2019s worth checking out.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Upshaws\u201d is now streaming on Netflix.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
