Expert review

Good Times (2024) is a Netflix animated series reimagining the classic 1970s sitcom with a decidedly adult and irreverent tone, following a new generation of the Evans family navigating life in a Chicago housing project. The humor is sharp, satirical, and unapologetically adult, tackling systemic racism, poverty, and inner-city hardship without the softening typically expected of animated content. Sensitive elements include frequent strong language, recurring sexual innuendo, references to alcohol and drugs, and situational violence embedded in the characters' daily lives. Parents should be clearly aware that despite its animated format, this series is explicitly designed for an adult audience and is not suitable for children or unsupervised teenagers.

Synopsis

In this edgy, irreverent reimagining of the TV classic, a new generation of the Evans family keeps their heads above water in a Chicago housing project.

Difficult scenes

Strong and vulgar language is used consistently throughout the series, with recurring profanity and crude insults embedded in the everyday dialogue of the main characters, including in scenes played for comedic effect. Direct sexual innuendo and recurring adult humor appear throughout exchanges between adult characters, with explicit references to sexuality framed comically but without ambiguity. The series repeatedly and realistically depicts alcohol consumption and references to other substances within the characters' environment, normalized as part of the social fabric of the neighborhood. The context of urban poverty and violence surrounding the Evans family generates tense and sometimes violent situations, with references to crime, gangs, and everyday insecurity in the housing project, presented satirically but without softening their real weight.
