Put this on your watchlist: A Dallas-based TV show with an all-black cast.

“#Washed” returned for a second season this week to Amazon and washedseries.com.

It’s a half-hour adult comedy, from East Dallas-based Jerod Couch, about a guy hitting a quarter-life crisis. It has HBO vibes with hilarious sex scenes, laugh-out-loud dialog and characters you want to BFF.

The independent show is filmed in Dallas, and couch makes a point to showcase the beauty and architecture of his hometown.

“Diversity isn’t only skin color,” Couch says. “Even being an all-Black cast, we have different types of people within one race with different likes, different backgrounds. I’m not one to say TV and film can change the world, but it can. If we can show someone on screen who is a Black exec, say a young adult sees that and thinks, ‘I can be in the C suite.’ That can be impactful.”
