Synopsis

When Robert “Granddad” Freeman becomes legal guardian to his two grandsons, he moves from the tough south side of Chicago to the upscale neighborhood of Woodcrest (a.k.a. "The Boondocks") so he can enjoy his golden years in safety and comfort. But with Huey, a 10-year-old leftist revolutionary, and his eight-year-old misfit brother, Riley, suburbia is about to be shaken up.

Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Tockinit not horrible nor great
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Michael Radny The Boondocks is truly original in its approach. Everything from the humour to the story to the characters, there's nothing that The Boondocks copies from its predecessors. I was, to be honest, skeptical of what might become of the first episode when watching it, but I couldn't have been more surprised with what the pilot delivered. The laughs were in abundance, the humour is adult and explicit which gives it a more mature feel and not leaving you with a boredom sense. The Boondocks is a great binge watcher. Episode after episode will have you in stitches if not suffocating on just how hilarious every moment can be. I will warn, as for most things, the humour may offend, but that is all the more reason that this brilliant show gives off to its charm.
RubicksCubeMonkey After watching the fourth season of the Boondocks it became painfully clear Aaron Mcgruder was what kept this show alive. The first three seasons where clever and while still clearly parodies of specific pop culture areas it was done in such a way that it felt more like they were inspired by a particular reference rather than a straight out parody. With the lose of Aaron Mcgruder after season 3 all the subtlety in this show seems to have departed as well. Episodes now are clear parodies that try to survive on being connected and relevant rather than crafting a story based around a topic and characters have become a lot more two dimensional, relying on the stereotypes of there role from previous seasons rather than growing and changing like they did in the earlier seasons. Really I didn't laugh half as much in season four as I did in the other seasons.
Kenyae Kofi It's a great show, I love it so much. If you are an activist, art lover, or interested in having a good laugh in general this is the show to watch. I love everything about this show and their quotes are beautiful. Huey Freeman for president! The things I truthfully love about this show is just how the characters are descriptive of all types of people, Huey Freeman is the activist black man who feels the N word is not a description for black people and I love that very much within itself because since watching this show I have become an activist since, Riley is the person who doesn't care at all about anything, except for himself and what a definition of a real thug and gangsta is, which is said because many of our young African American men feel they need to portray themselves that way. Robert Freeman, is a lazy man who feels everything should be around him only and the world revolves around him, and last, but not least Uncle Ruckus, is the African American man who is against his own race and believes white men are superior to every race (pretty much a black republican). Once again this is sad because there are African American men who despise our race and think the same way Uncle Ruckus does, now they definitely don't think life was better with slavery like Uncle Ruckus, but they definitely have pretty much the same mindset.
d-beegan I've watched this a few times. And honestly, I don't' understand it. From my point of view, this show just screams racism. The "N" word is used so many times. Now maybe my opinion is that of a suburban white guy that has never, and will never understand what some black American's have had to go through.But really, all I see is a show that says that urban black's can not fit into white suburbia. It says that all black men are thugs, gangstas, and god only knows what else.Now, on the plus side. I do like the animation. It's very much a anime style. Clean, and smooth. A great deal of detail in every frame. But for the story lines...sorry...but I think I'm being very nice by giving it a 1.
