The fourth and final season of The Boondocks premiered on Adult Swim last night and naturally whipped up a quite the frenzy.
As reported, the show’s creator Aaron McGruder did not return for the series’ penultimate run and has instead moved on to new project – ‘Black Jesus’.
Did this impact the show? And more importantly, has it impacted the perception of the series?
Well, after the Chris Brown-inspired first episode aired, it immediately became apparent that reaction was far from unanimous.

#Boondocks was weak. Chris Brown/Rihanna storyline played but Uncle Ruckus was hilarious.

The Boondocks was a bit of a disappointment…I said it. I knew that changing the producer would have an impact. Or maybe low expectations?
