It follows the Freemans, a troubled black family who move to the imaginary, friendly, and predominantly white suburb of Woodcrest. A blend of cultures, lifestyles, social classes, stereotypes, and racialized identities forms the basis for much of the series’ satire, comedy, and conflict.

HBO The antics of self-proclaimed “Civil Rights Legend” Robert “Granddad” Freeman. And his two rowdy grandkids Huey and Riley would have been the focus of Max’s new Boondocks. The family has recently relocated to a lovely suburban Maryland community. And then it was taken over by the tyrant Uncle Ruckus, a weird neo-fascist dictatorship. Life under Ruckus turns out to be a daily survival struggle.
