What Season 6 of black-ish

The season opens with the twins about to start eighth grade and with Junior working outside the home, managing Migos' social media. Pops announces he's getting married, and the family has to prepare for the wedding. Dre wants his kids to learn about Black culture in a mostly white neighborhood, while Bow works to keep her place in the boys' lives. Differences in approach come up again throughout the episodes: Jack leaving the basketball team, Diane and Ruby getting into feminism, or choosing a school for Devante. Ruby, Pops and Lynette add more tension at home.
