I also like the addition of the thesaurus words and definitions in most episodes. The two main leads in the show are decent, they have an emotional range that is delievered with sincerity and feels true to the experience of growing pains and coming of age. I liked hearing a Duckwrth song in episode 4, that was a personal touch that I liked cos he's one of my favourite rappers.
Then there was Let It Shine (which introduced me to Coco Jones and Trevor Jackson whom I love), Let It Shine was likely the only black show/movie on disney that felt like it had overt references to the black american experience while having a predominantly black main cast.
When I was watching disney shows back in the day there weren't too many black shows, it was Thats So Raven, then later on Ant Farm and by the time KC Undercover came out I was "too old" to really enjoy it and my niece was watching it at the time. In my opinion some of dialogue falls flat at times, also the kids in the show from what I understand are 13, but to me they appear closer to 15 maybe kids in the US just look older these days.
Its definitely more family friendly then what I tend to watch nowadays, thats not a bad thing at all. I'm in my 20s so I haven't watched Disney Channel shows in years.
