The humor has a gentle bite to it.

Boomerang does a solid job establishing its own universe, while peppering in enough Easter eggs to keep fans of the original happy. It's always nice when kids show respect for their elders.

it's a tale tightly told, rather you're a fan of the Boomerang of not. In fact, I would say... it might work even better if you never saw the film... the bones are strong on this one.

It's fun to see the basic tenets of the movie filtered through Lena Waithe's worldview.

The epitome of Millennial cool - stylish and ambitious, but not willing to be defined in any traditional way.

Boomerang is sharply detailed, a relatable portrait of young friendship twenty years into the 21st century.

The razor-sharp, fast-paced dialogue often sounds like a set of trending topics on Black Twitter, but it doesn't come off as pandering; it feels authentic and relevant.

Unlike the movie, the series has both a male and female lead, while also offering more nuanced stories about religion, mental illness and sexuality.

It's great to see a show centered on upwardly mobile blacks, although an early scene in a strip joint seems out of place. The dramedy is much more appealing when it takes you into the boardroom or eavesdrops on the group's game night.

The vibe here is much more laid-back than the film's, but the world feels instantly realized and immersive. And the chemistry between Jackson and Richmond is at the right level for whatever slow play Waithe has in mind.
