What Season 1 of The Neighborhood
Dave Johnson, a kind and very outgoing man from the Midwest, moves his family from Michigan to a predominantly Black neighborhood in Pasadena, California. Not everyone welcomes his neighborly enthusiasm. His next-door neighbor, Calvin Butler, rejects his closeness right away, fearing he'll disrupt the street's way of life. Dave tries to win over the neighbors with good will, while his family, including his son Grover, adjusts to a community very different from the one they knew. The clash between two ways of understanding living together on the same street drives the season.
