Following in the footsteps of âStranger Thingsâ and âThe Prom,â âThe Upshawsâ is the latest Netflix original set in Indiana.
Unlike the others, âThe Upshawsâ ditches the trend of using fictional Indiana towns and drops the show right in Indianapolis proper. The Indy connection is made even stronger with native son Mike Epps serving as both leading man and executive producer.

âThe Upshawsâ feels like a bit of a throwback as soon as it starts. Itâs a multi-camera, laugh track-supported affair with episodes that come in just under 30 minutes.
What is The Upshaws? The Upshaws feels like a bit of a throwback as soon as it starts. It s a multi-camera, laugh track supported affair with episodes that come in just under 30 minutes.
In format, it feels like something from the early 2000s era of family sitcoms. Think The King of Queens, My Wife and Kids and Everybody Loves Raymond. Right down to the husband who often screws things up and makes life harder for the wife that is out of league. The Upshaws attempts to tweak the formula a bit by presenting an unconventional TV family, but one that feels extremely familiar in the real world. There are strained relationships and forgive but not forget transgressions all over the place.

It’s a grand reopening that’s been more than a year in the making after a fire destroyed the Mississippi Belle Southern soul food restaurant in October 2019.
Wilson talked about some of the toughest moments on the road back to recovery.
