Good, interesting episode aside from the oh-so-often backwards representation of veganism. The franchise of Blackish hugely lacks in the respect animal rights from the standpoint of its misplaced sense of humour. If in the main tv show, Jack becomes the only real vegan character, here, we fall back into the usual ignorance with Lucas being "vegan" and eating chicken hoping nobody will notice, not unlike Phoebe's famous sudden cravings for meat. This show is high on describing how Gen Z does not want to be triggered, unfortunately this and other details show that Gen X & Y are probably at the command. Veganism is a recognised philosophical belief dating back to as far as Jainism in India, it is based in empathy, understanding for animals and self-sacrifice, as such it deserves to be represented adequately and not mocked out of mediocrity in a show with such a wide audience that advocated for all-encompassing respect - but for animals.
