That Girl Lay Lay (2021–2024)
9/10
This is for CHILDREN!
15 March 2022
I think the adults that are writing critical reviews for this show can't comprehend that it isn't supposed to be some sort of deep drama. It's cute, goofy, sassy humor... again this is for children. That being said, my 6 year old girls love this show.

The cast has wonderful chemistry, the parents are slightly dorky but have some realistic African American parenting moments which are great. The hair styles are diverse and fun, the costumes are adorable. Each character has their own style and it doesn't look forced. My kids loved seeing Sadie with socks that we purchased from target. Even the set looks great. I'm glad they did not keep the trampoline in the girls bedroom lol. I truly haven't enjoyed a show like this since that's so Raven when I was younger.

We need to remember that this show is based on an African American family, so it may appeal more to other African American families. Some of these shows can feel like there's heavy pandering but this show doesn't feel forced. The character Lay Lay is super sassy and full of confidence because she's from an affirmation app. Duh. Lol. The age appropriate jokes that can be pretty funny. I'm getting the vibe that because the main cast are two African American girls (some)people are low key rubbed the wrong way. It's probably soooo unrelatable to these people. The white adult men giving this show poor reviews are diving too deep and forgetting it's for children.
