lovesnowangel4 The first episode did kind of rub me the wrong way. I get what they were trying to do, but the execution was done poorly. I can definitely see how the first episode would turn people off from the show, but all I can say is give it a chance. It only gets better from episode 1 and up. Great, unique stories that can definitely make you want to binge watch, but then you realize you have a life so you have to pause; however, you can't wait to come back and continue your binge. If you only get one thing from this post, get this: Give the show a chance. The first episode isn't the best, but it only get's better. Trust.
romeovision2002 I am really enjoying the intricate thought that has been put into this show. It's a cross between Tales from the Hood (albeit not in a gory way) & Black Mirror, but with a lot more hip hop appeal & stories that get people of color thinking. Episodes 1 & 2 are like day & night. I do think the first episode was risky but it's only one story among many. I think everyone should give the show a chance.
kinwatkins The jury is out in my opinion on whether this is a good show or not; the story-line for episode one was interesting and the racial/cultural flip-flop made the story very edgy.I have not seen this perspective on story telling before and the romance aspect seemed unnecessary and did not add to the story. Adding the hip-hop culture (specifically the music) to the plot makes this show intriguing (if you are a hip-hop/rap head). The acting was okay and scene cuts could have been smoother. I will watch episode two and I will definitely know at the end of the episode if this is a good, mediocre or bad show.
Bakalite I get that there is a character limit. I would like to break it now.Awesome. Me, white guy who grew up in south east Asia. The juxtaposition just nails it irrespective of culture. Good job, remarkably well done. This is a must see, even if it doesn't support your particular polemic.Seriously, view. It will turn you the head and entertain at the same time.
