Rhone.Series creator Deji LaRay stars along with Thomas Q. Jones, Philip A. Smithey and Derrex Brady. The cast also includes D.L. Hughley, Rosa Acosta, Chloe James, James Austin Kerr and Jessica Luza.A dramedy told from the Black male perspective, the series shines a light on hot-button stereotypes and misconceptions.

After 25 years of friendship, they are finding themselves in vastly different places in their lives, threatening the unity that has always been so strong. They confront and find humor in the most current controversial social issues from the Black man's perspective, ranging from love and marriage to business, politics and religion.The true brilliance of Johnsons is that you do not have to be black to enjoy or be entertained by the show.

My guests are the cast of the new Bounce and Brown Sugar show Johnson. Deji LaRay, Philip Smithey, Thomas Q. Jones, and Derrex Brady. Johnson has a wonderful ensemble cast that includes some pretty powerful women who are happy to share their thoughts with the men in a real way that pulls no punches.The old saying timing is everything is I think the best way to describe the new Bounce–Brown Sugar show Johnson that drops on August 1, at 8 PM ET, 7 PM CT, 6 PM MT and 5 PM PT on Bounce or stream it on demand Brown Sugar. The series is set in Atlanta and revolves around four lifelong friends — all sharing the same last name Johnson but not related. The lead characters are specifically written from the Black male point-of-view to explain why men make certain decisions that revolve around friendships, love, and heartbreak.Like all good shows, it gets the point across and at the same time has a sense of humor that allows the viewer to watch the cast deal with pretty heavy matters. This is a show that I am sure will be a social media version of a “water cooler,” show.People will be talking about Johnson because it is well-written, well-acted, well-directed, and most importantly when this country sees so many stereotypes of black men we need a show like Johnson that is real. I can't recommend Johnson enough because we all need to watch this show not just because of its message, or its point of view but because it is a damn good program that deserves your time and is well worth watching, period, full stop.Check your local listings for Bounce TV at https://www.bouncetv.com/Brown Sugar - https://www.brownsugar.com/Instagram - @BounceTVTwitter - @BounceTV Deji LaRayInstagram - @dejilarayTwitter - @DejiLaRayThomas Q.

My guest this week is Michael Wayne the CEO of KIN one of the most creative and innovative programming sources in the streaming world. One of the many things that set Kin apart from other programmers is that they develop Lifestyle Franchises that work across platforms.Kin specializes in creating programs that they get to profitability first on social platforms like YouTube and Facebook Watch as they also bring them to streaming and network television. They find talent that both have name recognition and a strong social media following, but are also relatable to audiences. What makes the shows so appealing to viewers is that they can also communicate with talent and other viewers via the social platforms where the shows run. It makes the viewing less passive and turns it more into a communal experience.They have created franchises attracting millions of viewers around millennial celebrity talent including Tia Mowry (Sister Sister) who has a show called Tia Mowry's Quick Fix, Jeannie Mai (co-host The Real) who has a series called Hello Hunnay, and Adrienne Bailon Houghton (former Cheetah Girl, co-host The Real) whose show is All Things, Adrienne. They have taken many of their series created on social platforms to TV networks like Aspire TV and TV One, and recently they added BET TV to bring a brand new series to their streaming platform.Here is where to find all you need to know about the Kin Community:Website: https://www.kincommunity.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/kincommunityFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/KinCommunityInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kincommunity/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/kincommunityPromotional consideration for Stream On with Jim Williams comes from Sling TV.

My guest is Adam Dylewski, Director of Programming, PBS Digital Studios and he talks about their big summer of “PBS Short Docs,” a curated collection of short documentaries to showcase the work of independent and diverse filmmakers on PBS Voices, a documentary-focused YouTube channel.They kick off Pride Month with several outstanding docs including one that I recommend called “Prom of Their Dreams.” It is a sweet story about a generation of LGBTQ community that grew up in the decades before the Stonewall Riots, prom was emblematic of the exclusion and fear of living in a world they could not experience as their authentic selves. At Triangle Square, a haven for LGBTQ retirees in Hollywood, California, the idea of a “senior” prom has taken on an entirely new meaning. Tapping into their teenage selves, these liberated seniors ready themselves for the hottest event on the Triangle Square social calendar, reflecting back on who they were and how far they've come makes their prom night all the sweeter.“The PBS Short Docs collection is designed to elevate independent films from their production partners and stations and help audiences discover PBS content they otherwise they may not have found on their own,” said Brandon Arolfo, Head of PBS Digital Studios. “This new addition aligned perfectly with PBS Voices because it's our organization's documentary hub on YouTube and each program reflects the interests and issues Americans face today, especially younger and diverse viewers.” For more information on PBS Digital Studios and PBS Voices, visit PBS.org and the PBS YouTube Channel. Viewers are also encouraged to engage in online conversation by tagging @PBS and using #PBSShortDocs and #PBSVoices on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.Promotional consideration for Stream On with Jim Williams comes from Sling TV.

My guest is Jed Mercurio the creative force behind the epic police drama Line of Duty. Series six of the wildly successful show will debut on May 18th here in the U.S. exclusively on Britbox. (https://www.britbox.com/us/ )Last year when we spoke to Jed Series five had just come off of rave reviews for the BBC 1 and massive ratings but that was just the start of things to come for Line of Duty. The new season comes following a ratings run that outperformed Bodyguard, Downton Abbey and ended with the series breaking a modern-day BBC viewing record (12.8 million) that dates back nearly two decades.Line Of Duty now shares this record rating honor with The Great British Bake Off (15.9million in October 2016), EastEnders (16.4million in February 2010), Gavin, and Stacey (17.1million in December 2019), and The X Factor (17.7million in December 2010). To put things into perspective Line Of Duty’s success means the top ten most-watched drama series of the century are evenly split between BBC1 and ITV.In case you have not seen the show it is set in the fictional police anti-corruption unit AC-12, Line of Duty is a cat-and-mouse thriller that takes a probing look into modern policing and corruption. In the newest season, AC-12 faces their most enigmatic adversary yet - Detective Chief Inspector Joanna Davidson (Kelly Macdonald). With her unconventional conduct in a high-profile murder investigation raising suspicions, the team begins to challenge the facts of the case and question whether Davidson is really doing everything in her power to find the perpetrator – or if there is another factor in play. For the many fans of Line of duty here in the U.S. watching on Britbox, you will recall that season five drew to a close, we think that fans are going to be quite surprised by how the sixth series begins but I can tell you that you will not be disappointed.There is no question that Mercurio has proven anything by bringing Line of Duty to the small screen it is that he is a master of the plot twist and keeping views guessing which is what makes the show must-see TV. Make no mistake about it Line of Duty series six is going to be another well-written, well-acted and well-produced roller coasters ride and you would be wise to take the trip because it is well worth the time.Promotional consideration for Stream On with Jim Williams comes from Sling TV.

For my guest best-selling author, Peter James getting Grace from the pages of his best-selling novel to an ITV/Britbox hit did not come easy. He tells me that it took almost a decade to find the right people to make Grace come alive but when it did he knew it the instant that it happened.James met someone he trusted to make Grace become a reality and that was the very talented Russell Lewis. He is brilliant at working with authors to adapt their books to television and we all know him from the massive hit seen here in the United on PBS for his work on the hit Endeavour. The duo hit it off and the result is an outstanding new two-part series that launches tomorrow the 27th on Britbox.

This week my guest is the very talented and versatile Jimmy Akingbola who shows us his comedy chops in the new ITV hit from the U.K. Kate and Koji, which drops Tuesday on Britbox. Joining Akingbola in this sitcom that has taken Britain by storm is another gifted actor none other than Vera herself the brilliant Brenda Blethyn. Kate and Koji is a comedy that is centered on a relationship between Blethyn, who plays the grouchy, grudge-holding owner of a struggling seaside café, and Akingbola the very well-educated, out-of-place customer who sits in her empty greasy spoon establishment for hours. But there is more to this story than may meet the eye and that is because Koji is a doctor who left the oppression of his homeland to seek a better life in the U.K and who one day hopes to practice medicine again in his new home country. At the same time Kate who not a fan of foreigners but she sees a way where he might just be her ticket to turning her failing business around.So these mismatched pair see a way where they can help each other out despite the fact they are constantly trading barbs. Kate offers Koji a deal where he will give medical advice to help build up her customer base and in exchange, he will get food and drink for his medical advice. This is a wonderful ensemble show with a truly funny supporting cast that both Akingbola and Blethyn playoff in the way we have seen done in Cheers or other classic comedies. Kate and Koji are well written, well-acted, and well worth checking out on Britbox. https://www.britbox.com/us/Promotional consideration for Stream On with Jim Williams comes from Sling TV.

My guest is an award-winning actress and songwriter, Frida Farrell who stars in the true-life drama about sex trafficking called Apartment 407, now playing on Amazon Prime here in the United States and Canada – soon will be coming to her fans in Europe. For Farrell this is her story, she helped write it and even wrote the opening music for the film. The Swedish actress was rewarded for her creative efforts as Apartment 407 won international acclaim with multiple awards from all over Europe and the United States including an “Indie Award for the Best Picture at the prestigious Raindance festival in London. For Farrell, the awards and international acclaim have been appreciated but the real payoff from the film has been a large number of women who have contacted her or organizations to share their personal stories about sex trafficking or other types of abuse. She has been very gratified that her film and her own personal story of sex trafficking have brought the issue of sexual abuse to light for so many women. Farrell like all of us has been in her home in Sweden riding out the worldwide COVID 19 pandemic. But during that time she has been working on several projects including a new album that will be out soon and looking for the next TV or film project to take on. While we wait for the new album catch Farrell along with Nick Mancuso in Contract Killers now on Amazon Prime Video. The film brought her the honor of the “Breakout Female Star” award at the Orlando Film Festival and other competitions worldwide. The film established Ferrell as a true leading lady and a badass action star.
