They don't have enough story to fill up the extra 14 minutes we didn't get? And this has been going on for a few weeks now. I hope this doesn't mean that they are running out of ideas and just writing on the fly.

Normally that's a network thing. So I suspect it has something to do with Showtime and not the show

I saw it coming at the ending when they stopped at the light but didn't expect Marvin to die.... :to: He doesn't deserve like that but this fool didn't listen to anymore but only himself. He was like :yeshrug:, sh!tty on the school, etc...care about the music and wanna be street shyt,etc until when shyt get real so dude was like :whoa: :to: "I'll work for you, do whatever you want me to do, I won't tell anybody" :damn: but Cookie doesn't give a f*ck so Marvin is :dead:.

F*CK THAT JEW :pacspit:

Sounds like the typical teenage kid.

Marvin ain't have nothing to do with it...he got dealt a shiity hand having a crackhead mom and a father who got involved with grimey street nikkas. Id be far too scared to take any money, whatsoever, from a nikka like Cookie. Wouldn't want a nikka like that even knowing my number, let alone thinking I owed him something :merchant: :whoa:

Am I the only one who thinks that this show would be exponentially better if they consulted some people from The Wire? They portray black people so terribly, and its mostly because of the acting.

I'm not really feeling this shyt but I'm still watching..

I agreed with you on that. Marvin has a guardian angel which is Re-Kon. He led him the wrong way when Ray got him deal with the crackmother and Ray told him to put the kid in school, getting him an education, stay out of trouble, etc. Re-Kon seems didn't do good job at all. All he cares about his music, etc but sure he does care about him but he's the wrong guy to do it. If he knew about Cookie and how danger is he so Re-Kon shouldn't have gotten him in the first place with Cookie.

I get what you're saying, I felt the same way when I saw Re-Kon, Cookie, etc. It seems they tried to hard to paint the black people but maybe that's because they're in the music industry, got rich, the way they act foolish, et cause they got $$$, rich changed them. The Wire is struggle life, probably why you feel related them more. Since they're in the music business so it makes sense why for them to act like that way.... I mean look at Suge Knight, Cam'Ron, 50 Cent, The Game, etc. They're acting fool cause they're rich $$$ now. Cookie could be fake ass "Suge Knight" like to threatening anybody if you don't handle the business right.

I see what you mean. If the dialogue and acting were stronger I'd probably appreciate it more though

Yeah. When first time I saw them and I felt they're acting like they're on the comedy show like they came on the wrong show cause Ray Donovan is a crime drama but not comedy.
