If it weren’t for cliches and stereotypes, there would be little to note about Netflix’s
Dad Stop Embarrassing Me, which began streaming on April 14, a series of eight half-hour episodes. Comedian/actor Jamie Foxx tries to make a comeback on the small screen but mostly fails to be amusing or entertaining.
The story centers around Brian Dixon (Foxx) and his multi-generational black family who live under his roof (sound familiar?). His father, Pops (David Alan Grier), and sister, Chelsea (Porscha Coleman), are joined by Dixon’s daughter, Sasha (Kyla Drew), after the death of her mother. Brian and Sasha try to build a relationship as there was none before her mother’s death.

We re suckers for an engaging sitcom, and Jamie Foxx s latest project with Netflix,
Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!, will likely catch your teen s eye. Chock-full of funny one-liners, the first season of this comedy series is a modern take on family-centered classics like
Family Matters and
The Bernie Mac Show.
Rated TV-14, it explores what happens when a single dad named Brian Dixon (Foxx) has his daughter, Sasha (Kyla-Drew), move in with him after her mother passes away. Between a truly hilarious cast of characters Sasha s grandfather (David Alan Grier) had us howling with laughter the family navigate a slew of problems big and small while living under one roof.
