“They're back and as imperfect as ever.”
Bennie Upshaw, the head of a Black working class family in Indianapolis, is a charming, well-intentioned mechanic and lifelong mess just trying his best to step up and care for his family and tolerate his sardonic sister-in-law, all without a blueprint for success.
The Upshaws runs for 5 seasons, created by Regina Y. Hicks and Wanda Sykes. Every episode page keeps the show's order, so you can watch from the pilot to the finale without hunting for the next link. Episodes are bought individually for 1 credit.
