What does Hilliard do when he is assigned with taking Ptolemy to the bank? What does Robyn do when she sees how much Ptolemy has stored away? This narrative focus becomes one of its more ambitious elements, matching Jackson’s dramatic range in bringing this story to life.
-
How [Robyn (Dominique Fishback)] becomes Ptolemy’s caregiver, while important to the story, is less important to the series as a whole than the dynamic between Ms. Fishback and Mr. Jackson. Their pas de deux is a wonder all its own, something rare and exhilarating, an alchemical reaction of youth and experience, defiance and resignation, fragility and stone.

One might wonder if he could have slimmed the story down a bit, or if a couple more episodes would have provided room to roam. But there’s more than enough here to recommend. The interplay between Jackson and Fishback is as natural as can be, yielding an unlikely companionship based in love and trust. On a broader scale, this is a fully fleshed-out portrait of Black Americans.
