What Makes This Smart: Many dramas, which center on the lives of inner city men and boys only want to talk only about crime, violence and rap music, however FCB focuses on the emotional health of these men’s lives and decision making, which we rarely ever see on television – unless of course we are making fun of men for expressing emotions and talking about their feelings.
