I figured the whole shyt out the first episode. It was pretty obvious. I knew what would happen the final episode just off the title alone.

Good:
I enjoyed the first episode and didn't expect that at the end, I also liked after the first episode everyone after was 30 mins. , Kev showed his moments of good acting mostly the comedic scenes. And as always Snipes was terrific. the supporting cast did okay as well but I wont nit pick with them.

BAD:
It definitely dragged longer than expected; Also parts of the writing was terrible, not tyler perry bad but the first episode which gave a good origins into carltons character you could easily see "kidd" was set up and carlton had something to do with. The foreshadowing in this movie really sucked and was easy to figure out.

Hart was good in moments but a lot of his acting was cringeworthy like the scene where he messed up the hotel room which was supposed to be a serious moment but he struggled to even tear down the curtains which made it comedic.

Also his bodyguard asking for the beyond weird "6million" and made it seem like the movie was going to go into a ground hog day. Him asking for that money made no sense considering he confessed everything to them EXCEPT killing his brother and he also told Don Lemon on camera. So that bodyguard angle made no sense unless he just wanted to reward him for his loyalty..

And the whole dialogue in the end with Hart looking into the camera seemed more about him and his struggles in real life versus the movie. Very soap operish....I just cant take him serious as a serious actor, it just didn't seem authentic to me and it threw off the movie/series for me.

I binged it like everyone else, its a good watch if you're on a flight with nothing to do but I wouldn't watch it again; 2 out of 5 for me....:yeshrug:

Other than the fact that big reveal was obvious as fukk, this was a really good show.
Made no sense that Carlton would find the dead girl in Kid’s bed. Why the hell would he go in his brothers room to check the pulse a girl he’s fukking. Didn’t make a lick of sense. Crazy Kid didn’t see that, but I guess he was consumed by the shock of it all. But for the audience, something that conspicuous just made it so I watched the rest of the series waiting for something to disprove it (i.e. they show her dead body), but the more time that goes by and they don’t do this the more clear it becomes that Carlton is behind this. So yea, the big twist was way too obvious.

Aside from that, tho, I thought this was a really well done show. At first I thought it was sloppy writing but they actually brilliantly showed how much of a loser Carlton was. He concocted the most retarded plans that only his dumbass couldn’t see would obviously fail. I’m sure his original plan was for Kid to let him handle it and “talk” Ari down from $6M to say $1M and Kid would feel like he got saved $5M and Ari/Simone/Carlton could split the extra $400k after paying Carlton’s debt. But he failed to see the many ways that plan could easily have gone sideways and fell victim to one: Kid’s strong desire to not pay $6M :manny:

Carlton had many really dumb plans. Like why set up Gene who had obvious and public ties to your brother? Of course that would make Ari’s brothers extra suspicious. Carlton’s dumbass was directing heat his own way. :mindblown:

Don’t know how Kid became a John Wick out the blue like that tho:mjlol:

On the first episode still

Kidd strangling him, I’m gonna guess in Kevin Hart mind this is how he reacted when he felt his friend was tryna extort him in real life.


I didnt see that coming, expected him to payout at least a million before tryna find a way out of it
