There’s hardly been a more charged, fascinating moment in TV this summer than Jada Pinkett Smith sitting at her famed Red Table with her husband, Will Smith, to talk about their marriage like never before.

Taped last week, the July 10 episode of “Red Table Talk” brought the Pinkett-Smiths to the table in order to weed through the fallout.

In 2018, however, Pinkett Smith launched “Red Table Talk,” a talk show all about having uncomfortable conversations in the interest of growing and, as she often says with grounded urgency, “healing.” Her husband makes enough appearances on the show to keep it firmly within the bounds of a family business venture, but they rarely delved into the specifics of their marriage — until now.

It’s a perfect distillation of what “Red Table Talk” and the Pinkett-Smiths do best: dissecting a controversial topic with meticulous consideration, an eye for relating it back to the audience, and just enough intrigue to keep people guessing as to what’s truly going through their heads.

And yet, unlike a show such as “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” the point of “Red Table Talk” isn’t to draw the audience into the soap opera of their lives

Bringing their own relationship to the Table in as stark terms as they just did may not have been something either Pinkett Smith or Smith wanted to do before
