The Cassius team is back again with a new Black Watch, where we share what we feel our some clutch options to binge on your streamer of choice over the weekend, and beyond. As always, we’re sticking with TV that we actually see ourselves in because any sort of Black history is still an elective stateside.
Per usual we got some dope series that you might have missed and even through in a documentary for folk trying to learn something during their downtime. Feel free to let us know what you’re check for, too, in the comments.

There’s been a trend of Black chef’s going on food journeys that end up being inadvertent, or purposeful, histories on the contributions of African-Americans to the cuisine of the world. You should recognized Carla Hall from Top Chef and The Food Network and although she is talented chef, she is always open to learning, and the audience is the better for it. The history of Black folk when it comes to barbecue (duh) and ice cream (say word?) it’s all covered thoughtfully as Hall travels around the nation and globe on a food journey. —Alvin aqua Blanco
