Jonah from Tonga (2014)
Chris Lilly is a Comic Mastermind
One of my favorite series on HBO! The most accurate portrayal of a troubled teen that I have ever seen apart from real life. Jonah From Tonga has received many bad criticisms for Chris's use of so called "Black Face", the whole point of the show has been lost on political correctness. How could Chris expect anyone else to accurately play Jonah when he created the character in his mind and depends on the use of improve when he is in character? If you take the time to actually watch the show and see how Jonah develops over the series, then you would see a whole backdrop of cultural, and social elements forming to shape a young impressionable mind into a functional member of society, and your own racist ideas will fade. It takes a village and that is what I believe the whole concept behind this masterfully put together show proves. By the way if you are only into mind numbing cookie-cutter shows and can't step out of the politically correct conformist societal box, then go watch Friends re-runs.
