Clark and Brie Williams tackle this controversial material with vim, vigor, and a borderline reckless abandon that seems more like calculated genius, at times. And what it has are engaging, delightfully witty, and knowing performances from its four leads, particularly Aj Knight, who has lots of difficult ground to tread as Jordan.
