Starring: William Alexander, Webbie Casseus, Jeovanie Andre

What is this series about: Awkward Black dude looking for love, and more specifically a wife.

What makes this smart: Yes, another relationship series (Black folks: do we think about anything else?) But besides that, this series is really well scripted, funny and slightly unconventional, particularly in how the main character is not your typical self-assured, womanizing Black or brown man. Instead, this series treats us to a regular dude – a security guard to be exact – who doesn’t even own a car and walks around with a cracked iPhone screen. In some ways, it kind of reminds me a little of the Black version of “How I Met Your Mother.” I don’t know how folks feel about that, but I was into it.
