Watched all 4 eps the last 2 nights.

Pretty good so far. Surprised at the few posts here.

It's actually more interesting than the N.E./Bobby Brown flicks - both aired on BET

this show is too good. Especially this episode. Who would've thought a simple act of kindness stopped that whole room from gettin lit up.

Decided to wait until the whole season was out before watching.

Halfway through and its fire. The cast is dope. Sinqua has come a long way since playing Shawn on Power. The lawyer is straight :takedat:Bobby Brown as Rufus Thomas was :russ:. Just getting to the Little Richard episode now.

I felt a way about BET not renewing 'The Breaks' but between the New Edition-verse and this, I get it.

Finished the season.

Loved it.
Cast - dope. Script - dope. The actresses were :banderas:Tessa and Isla :whoo:Gabrielle Dennis as Tina Turner too :takedat:

Only thing I would change is the songwriters for the Encore joints. That 'Mama Was A Rollercoaster' joint is cool, but it sounds a little too modern.

I would be interested in seeing what Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Adrian Younge and Raphael Saadiq could do if they took a crack at writing the music.

Damn I wish this show would've came back. It was damn good. BET would rather show re-runs of 30 yr old shows instead of brand new original content. I totally understand why I just don't fukk with it anymore
