The 2021 sequel-series to 2018's masterclass Blindspotting flawlessly continues the film's story even (mostly) without the film’s leads, Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs. The writing, performances, artistic expression, and utter authenticity to the town (aka Oakland) and the country's ever-evolving black experience in the face of gentrification is simultaneously hilarious, heartfelt, emotional, and engaging. Outstanding additions Benjamin Earl Turner, Jaylen Barron, Candace Nicholas-Lippman, and a glowing Helen Hunt add to the magnetic Jasmine Cephas Jones, making this a triumphant ensemble. It’s 100% loyal to the soil and my Yay area-heart loved every second of it.
