Is it possible Archie survives?.. I guess I get Rafe's extremely heavy handed message but dude was shoehorned into the story so hard that it almost serves no purpose. Nobody else is even going to care. There has to be more to his story.

Spoiler

That was my issue with it. It was forced in there for no reason and wasted a lot of air time building up his story. I was thinking it was going to end up Bars or Archie had something to do with the death of her baby father somehow. Would've made for a better story line. What rafe did he could've done with anybody walking to the store and getting hemmed up and killed for no reason. Just have one of the main characters on the scene to see it happen

Tai had it coming but I think they killed him too quick IMO it feels like they decided to kill him in the spur of the moment

Spoiler

I also don't agree with getting rid of Tai. he wouldve been a good draw when it comes to a bigger platform. anyone that's different from the typical "wolf" type is getting killed off. Wouldn't be surprised if Leon also goes.

I don't agree. His value may show more after his death when the media will likely use his record against him and it gets people riled up.

Moises/Rafe is like the new Spike Lee with all these heavy handed messages.
I don't really enjoy it, but I understand & respect why he does it. He's trying to use his show as a platform to create larger dialogues.

I kinda wanted Shane to resolve that Ty situation. I always wanted Ty to get bodied but the way it happened this episode feels anticlimactic.

I get what happened to Archie. Felt sloppy though. Meanwhile "nikka, fukk parole!" Barz gets to keep doing what he's doing
.

Great episode though.

I don't know why cats insist on stories going a certain way. Real life doesn't work that way, which is why M&V works.

Tai and Leon provided great comedic relief but Im not really surprised. Their characters have started to become irrelevant now that Shane's focus is on Ray/Boone. Black came up off the birds, how many of them was it 2 or 3? And he selling them to dude in Atlanta for like 40 a piece.

Spoiler

TI is on his way to NY for the birds. Black has to make the sale before he leaves. Problem is the old dude who connected Black to TI is Rafe's man. He told Black he doesn't like shady business so at some point he's gonna speak to Rafe and line him up. The old dude needs to make the sale to get his cut but afterwards Black can die. Rafe already got the money for the birds so it all works out.

TI gets his drugs
Old dude gets paid
Rafe gets revenge

I told yall that simp would try to check Kane

All the Jamaicans are good actors. I'm guessing their lines aren't written. They get a script but translate it to patois on the fly so they can speak naturally.

Show your cards to your enemy Shane

Choppa stay taking L's and letting his pride set him up for more

BR observing things

those Jamaicans are horrible. They talk too much. The spectacle of their dialect is more fascinating to viewers than reflecting real Yardie talk. Most Jamaicans I know who watch the show can't stand their parts.

 

[torcher]

They had a couple outfit mistakes wit Kane and Renaldo

Entertainment isn't real life though. The reality is good but you still need to try and feed some of the masses. A lot of those dead episodes would've been a lot better with Tai and Leon making more moves.

Even still,

doing off with any character who isn't a strong arm in the street

isn't exactly real. There are a lot more snakes and snitches walking around than there are Rambos. Especially at Rafe's age. there should be a balance.

Yh I thought the same about the record

Tbh they don't sound Jamaican when they speak. BR sounds Jamaican. Either way it's nice to get diversity. Miz's accent is funny, sounds like jocelyn

I don't get your point. There are so many people I knew coming up that many wanted dead but someone else got to that person first. Folks in here are looking for "exacted revenge" because it happens often in film. But in real life it doesn't always work that way. Which is why I had no problem with how Tai died

 

[So-Chi]

Spoiler: my GAWD

FINALLY someone gives Rafe a "Rafe Speech"
someone mentioned it but the struggle playing with the kid

Tye had to go, too many mistakes with killas . Miz kills random nikkas willy nilly, Shane ain't reckless but WILL lay something down and the Cartel on his ass. Hell, Kane might have had smoke if he saw him

Only part I didn't get was why couldn't Miz have wore a mask to punish him? He could have shot him in the hand and said " (Cartel dude, his name escapes me) says pay your debts, the next one straightens out your lining" and left. Instead you take on a unknown debt AND disobey the plugs orders??

Episode 11 Goddamn!
