But when it lets Zoey's friends get into a playfully argumentative groove, Grown-ish hits moments that let its teen characters get messier than Zoey ever would.

There's plenty of fertile ground here, provided that the writers remember what sets their show apart.

It's truly the flaws of the characters that make the show worthwhile.

The effect is nicely confiding rather than jarring. Funny and sometimes surprisingly dramatic, Grown-ish feels both like a hit and like an artistic success.
While we did enjoy the embarrassing drunk stories to the relatable late registration of classes, there's something that feels like it's missing. It's still trying to find its voice.

The most interesting parts of grown-ish suggest there's a distinct show here. It's good-hearted, but with a darker edge, partly owing to the looser language restrictions on cable.
