Netflix: The 'Good Times' animated series is loaded with start power and wild jokes

Ready for some mind-blowing content? Netflix keeps delivering and with ‘Good Times’ slated to arrive for the masses next month, it’s only right to start geeking out.

Loaded with star power like J.B. Smoove and Jay Pharaoh, it’s all about the sneak peek and wild hints at explicit humor brewing for the series. Peep the details and lock in April 12.

The series stars J.B. Smoove (Reggie Evans), Yvette Nicole Brown (Beverly Evans), Jay Pharoah (Junior Evans), Marsai Martin (Grey Evans), Gerald “Slink” Johnson (Dalvin Evans) and Rashida “Sheedz” Olayiwola (Lashes by Lisa). All ten episodes will be available on Netflix Friday, April 12.

It turns out the more things change the more they stay the same and keeping your head above water in a system with its knee on your neck is as challenging as ever. The only thing tougher than life is love, but in this family there’s more than enough to go around.
