The Boondocks is an animated series that follows the lives of the Freeman family, which consists of 10-year-old Huey, his 8-year-old brother Riley, and their grandfather, Robert. They have just moved from inner-city Chicago to the suburbs, where they are confronted with different issues and problems than they are used to. The series explores various themes such as racism, social inequality, politics, and pop culture, often through the satirical and irreverent lens of the two young brothers. The Boondocks is known for its unique animation style, its use of hip-hop music, and its witty and insightful commentary on modern American society. The Boondocks is a social satire of American culture and race relations (or stereotypes in the world), revolving around the lives of the Freeman family – ten-year-old Huey, his younger brother, eight-year-old Riley, and their grandfather, Robert. The Boondocks takes place in the same place and time frame as its comic counterpart. The Freeman family, having recently moved from the South Side of Chicago to the peaceful, fictional suburb of Woodcrest, Illinois (compare Crestwood) find different ways to cope with this acute change in setting as well as the drastically different suburban cultures and lifestyles to which they are exposed. The perspective offered by this mixture of cultures, lifestyles, and races provides for much of the comedy in this series. Genres: Animated comedy, Black sitcom, Action, Satirical, Dark comedy
