The Neighborhood Season 3 Episode 1 Recap
Malcolm and his friend Trey head out to shoot hoops. However, when they are just having a good time, Trey is beaten up by a police officer and arrested. When Malcolm returns home and narrates the incident, Calvin and Dave attempt to get bail for Trey. However, their trysts produce no results. Eventually, an angry Malcolm joins a protest, which does not have any effect either. So, he teams up with a bunch of other people and decides to storm the police station. This is when Calvin chips in and advises his son to use his brains instead of emotions or violence.
On the other hand, Marty converses with Grover and explains that it is Grover’s generation that can help put an end to systematic racism. As the episode wraps up, Trey is eventually given his freedom. He later sits down for dinner with the Butlers and the Johnsons. In the end, the episode shows footage of the real Black Lives Matter protests that had taken place in Summer 2020 in Los Angeles and the greater United States.
Episode 1 takes a different approach to the otherwise lighthearted nature of ‘The Neighborhood’. And the creators clarified during an interview with The EW as to why they decided to focus on the BLM movement. Creator Jim Reynolds explained: “Being a show that is so much about race relationships and the Black experience, we knew that we had the platform and the opportunity and, frankly, the obligation to address the issue.”
