Just finished. Been a minute since watching such a quality show, with so few characters to root for.
Outside of Jerome and Oso…everyone’s a piece of shyt
with Louie, Saint, & Cissy being the leaders of the PoSs.
Feel bad for Franklin as far his parents….Alton left that nikka at gunpoint by the police……Cissy being delusional and fukking over Franklin and her grandbaby. Then seemed to take credit for Leon turning out ok? Help facilitate Franklin’s drug empire. Then threw him to the wolves not once but twice (KGB, and then shooting Teddy)…could’ve got that nikka imprisoned, and fukked up the bread. Maybe he would’ve actually walked away from everything. She really was trying to kill that man future
did she think he would’ve been better off doing time for accessory to kidnapping and murder vs being dealing with his addiction to capitalism with 37 mil in hand?
Louie being a part of Franklin’s initial dive into crime…then at various points, actin like that wasn’t the case. Frank and her and spreading that to the East/South…and then her lying to her cousin about what it’s gonna bring to their lives. Switching sides. Using cops. Sloppy, strategic moves.
Franklin was fukking up and wasn’t always a head of the ball. If Louie would’ve been running shyt from jump Teddy and Avi might’ve had the whole in an even tighter chokehold.
I wonder if Lucia’s departure was unexpected and between that and Singleton passing…they ended up force feeding Louie’s arc.
The writers ain’t shyt for havin Franklin sell the black community housing back into the hands of the white slumlord that his mom’s worked for.
Mustve been one of the white directors or writers that wanted to depict that shyt.
Biggest complaint with the show is that Singleton kinda allowed it to seem like Teddy/CIA just stumbled into this idea and Teddy was an innocent CIA officer that unwittingly fukked over black communities.
