Sean & Heard: The History of Black Television is one of the latest documentaries from HBO. As its title suggests, the two-part doc – which is helmed by Giselle Bailey and Phil Bertelsen – chronicles the impact African Americans have had on TV. The doc highlights classic Black TV shows and features interviews with Issa Rae (an EP on the doc), Oprah Winfrey, Cord Jefferson and more. Keen aspects of representation are also discussed, including an unfortunate trend.
