UnPrisoned Season 2 is back, and while I wasn’t exactly itching for it after the first season, I have to admit it’s funnier than I expected. Season 1? Cool vibes, but not a must-watch—Season 2? It’s g

Kerry Washington is doing her thing as Paige, a therapist with her own mess, and Delroy Lindo as her formerly incarcerated dad, Edwin? I love everything Kerry stands for, but Delroy steals the show in

preachy. But for the most part, the episodes this season were very moving and engaging.
There’s less of that in-your-face “the system is trash” energy this season, but the subtle digs at how racism haunts Black families are still there, just without the megaphone. It’s a family drama tha
