Yea, I think a young Smurf spinoff would be fire. Showing how she became the evil ass old lady she eventually ended up as. We seen a lot of it already, but I'd want to focus on the boys (Craig, Deran) when they got old enough to get into the family hustle.

But like I said, I think the show was ended prematurely and they couldn't flesh out the rest of the story. They never touched back on Smurfs friend (black chick) after she contacted the boys and the Craig sponsor storyline never developed. I think they found out it was ending while writing last season, they had to force in an ending.

Didn't work out well imo. shyt was very underwhelming.
All this, all of this, it looked like when 50 was trying to flush them bricks on 21 questions, panic and not much accomplished

It left more questions than anything, and killing off two characters, it seemed like Jay was just trying to get his independent of them to be straight, not just to turn around and flee to Indonesia like it was some set up some long revenge

The best part of this show was when Nikki revealed to Jay that she did coke with Craig then fukked him.


Then jay went and had a temper tantrum in the car :laff:


Idk man they always got off way too light from some of the shyt they did especially since there were only 5 of them running scams

Whole time I was watching thinking how much better this would have been on FX

I filled the void left by this show with Raising Kanan, easily a similar show but Raq makes Smurf look like an underboss. Raq's character can easily go down as the best female boss in tv show history. Smurf was definitely up there, but she got killed off a little too early and the last season was rushed as hell.

I watch that, they feel different, (i understand the irony in my statement) raq is that chick, i wish they planned out the last season better, killing off pope and Craig was ass, and all this cuz they at 18 didn’t fight to keep your pregnant mom in the crib, when you literally see how manipulative smurf was, but they steady saving your ass in missions and making sure your pockets straight, and him falling for a married chick was ass too. I can see a world where he just escapes away with money he saves and they live their lives

Nah cuz by the time J showed up to live with them Smurf's control was barely hanging on and Deran had already dipped out to Belize for a few months so it isn't any reason that in all the years after Julia left that not one of her brothers or Baz ever stopped by to check on them

By time J showed up you saw how deep smurfs claws were, including punishing the boys for not doing her bidding, she kept things from them, kept them in the dark on things, and she poisoned their thoughts, Craig and Daren were really young, and baz knew better than to cross smurf, you say they got older but it was a lot easier to lose contact with people back then, the show wants to push the narrative that j want’s revenge, but it’s all smurf, their only fault is negligence and losing contact, they still looked out for j and made sure he was paid, baz ate a bullet so his only true beef was dead and i can’t even fault baz he had to make a survival decision

Yeah the final revenge plot was rushed and the final straw came out of nowhere and it should've been built up more but on the other hand J had been saying since day 1 he was angry that he and his mom suffered while his uncles were living like kings just a few blocks away.
