This show was dope but an inconsistently, at times cringe-worthy, written, editing and pacing mess of a show. It's like for everything that's BRILLIANT, there's always something you either had to roll your eyes at, shake your head from, or just get absolutely frustrated towards. The main SAVING GRACE of the show is the strong performances by the women and the music. But this at times tried TOO DAMN HARD in being one of those cheesy blackploitation flick... I was waiting for Black Dynamite to appear at any moment. There had to be some kind of proper balance and I felt that between episodes 4-8 had that RIGHT BALANCE of it paying homage to those 70's blackploitation movies as well as being its own thing with consistensy.... but truthfully, when they swerve episode happened everything from that was a bunch of filler vs over-the-top mockery of blackploitation. I almost had to cut off Netflix for a second after I've heard Shades say "whutchu talkin' 'bout, Willis".... It was too much... too forced... even the DWYCK line, it was cool, but didn't sound natural at all.... A lot things with the bottom end of this season was just frustrating. That said... overall it was still enjoyable. But they REALLY need to fix a lot of things if there's to be a season 2.
