Family is often the center of our universe, and the most chaotic part of our lives. With homages to the ’50s and onward, the writers have clarified their lack of fear in tackling social and emotional issues that are highly sensitive. In following with its first three seasons, season four highlights issues such as racism, adoption, grief, PTSD, physical disabilities and new relationships. While the teenage romance starts out unsuspectingly, Deja quickly learns that Malik is a devoted father to his infant daughter. As the cast grows and diversifies, so do the storylines, which makes for an interesting plot and emotional rollercoaster that is both relevant and engaging.
