Just finished the episode and I have a few thoughts/observations
  • Trash G was right, but him being a smoker didn't help his case. The torture was on par for what you'd see/hear of during that time.
  • Davina's loyalty to her mother is going to outweigh anything. What is Kanan to do if he finds out she told Unique?
  • Laverne explained the Lo Life culture perfectly to her girlfriend. She's been a great casting. She just reminds me of girls I grew up with in the 90s down to the simplified perm and hair.
  • "Kids" having sex and getting killed on camera. It's definitely not like the other installments.
  • They're definitely a small time crew. How is Scrappy the only person responsible for being at the stash house?
  • More clothing issues that you catch instantly if you know your shyt. In the next episode, Kanan is wearing a Georgetown jersey from the late 90s and not 1991. They didn't wear that specific style (material and lettering) until the late 90s.

shyt is excellent imo.
Very realistic hits very close to home for me personally. Alot of my family was criminals Raq reminds me of my mom except for the fact that my moms tried to shelter me 100% so I sought the street shyt out myself without her help . Being a teen in the 90s was some eye opening shyt OGs tryna stop me from copping work and doing dirt cuz of the respect my moms had so I was forced to be a square but it made me lust for the streets even more...

I like where this show is going its not perfect by any means but its entertaining and very realistic down to the boring relationship shyt cuz that's apart of the life as well its not all action and shootouts all the time

I think yall being a bit too meticulous when critiquing the clothing and props cars street signs etc from the 90s...cuz I mean we are in 2021...how the fukk can you accurately depict everything from that era? Thats just impossible at some point you gotta just excuse that for the fact this is a show and not a time machine
