I just finished episode 4 and this aint it. I hate when shows try to have the deep, interconnected storylines that deal with societal issues buy they don't get writers who can carry the load. You need nuance to do this not this ham fisted nonsense.
Some of these plot lines and twists are laughable. The inhaler sitting right in the middle of the crime scene and not taken as evidence even though there's blood on it, the victim's brother being transferred to the same jail as the person who killed his brother, he kills his brother's killer in hand to hand combat and they cover it up, there's a hit and run and police don't gather video footage from the scene, etc.
Black folks getting victimized left and right and looking utterly helpless throughout. They're not even developed, 3 dimensional characters they're just getting victimized or being villainous stereotypes. Kofi just taking L after L and we really don't know anything about him. He's not a character he's a caricature.
These shows usually start off well but then you see it's amateur hour in the writers room. I'm gonna fast forward through the remaining episodes just to see how this ends.
Edit:
How are all the bad things happening to this one black family?
Man gtfoh
you already know...my sentiments exactly. This shyt with Baxter’s daughter and the kid better make a lot of sense in the end because right now - while the dynamic is cute - is fukkin strange and super left field. It’s like they needed a love angle and they had this girl with no true direction, so they tossed in this plot twist.
It’s an entertaining show, but I’ve done the Cam Newton slide in the sofa a few times with some of this convenience writing.
