I watched the first two episodes. They were good, but the content (urban setting, lots of kids involved, cops, drugs) gives it a Wire vibe.

I thought the pilot episode was pretty good. Last week's was more of a character development episode which I feel the next few may be.

Initially I thought it was just going to be Showtime's Wire and although it does have a season 4 vibe especially with the school scenes, I'm liking it so far.

I'll continue to watch.

Nobody is watching this? It's pretty good.

The character of Brandon reminds me of DeAngelo from The Wire.

Season 3 premiered on Sunday.

I can see the board is very excited about it.

Too many characters gone from season 2. No reason given for Brandon's death and completely dropping that story line was dumb.

I had to go back and watch the last episode from season 2 because I didn’t remember him dying. Only thought is perhaps it was faked so he can testify against Perry.

And they can kill off Ronnie and his lame storyline anytime.

He was fired for inappropriate behavior on set.

I thought "Wait, Brandon died? Is my memory getting that bad?" I assume they're going to explain how he died in upcoming episodes.

Yeah, Ronnie's storyline and his mumbling ass have been dragged out too long.

It assume it wasn't Ronnie who abducted Keisha?

I think the Brandon story line is done. He left on such bad terms. They are moving on and did not bring back the cop characters involved.

Reading on Reddit that Reg was killed off because he did not want to do the transgendered story line his older brother is now doing on the show.

I think you're right. They went out of their way in the last episode to have Dom say "Brandon wasn't shit." They've done a poor job of handling the departure of one of the main/best characters from the first two seasons of the show that resulted in several plotlines and characters disappearing like a fart in the wind.

Dom telling Emmitt to show her his dick to prove it's him? Doesn't he have a driver's license? :lol: So stupid.

Is the actor who played him in danger of being canceled for that? I saw lots of "Black Trans Lives Matter" signs on TV over the weekend.

I thought Trig's "girlfriend" looked a tad manly...

I assume it is Keisha's track coach who kidnapped her? The track suits, trophies, etc., in the location she is being held seemed to indicate that, and while they did show him at the end of the episode it was kind of hard to clearly see who it was, but it looked like him.
