Red Table Talk

The most popular show on the service, by some margin, is Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk, whose channel has 6.4m followers. An episode, with guest Jordyn Woods, has 32 million views.

In it, Jada, her daughter Willow and her mother Adrienne sit down for “candid” conversations with “family and friends”. The Smiths being The Smiths, this often means famous people. But the conversations really do go deep on important issues, like in the recent chat with Sex and the City’s Kristen Davis, which saw her confront her white privilege as a mother of two adopted black children.
