Just finished the LC eps last night.
I liked it.I think that it's a good thing that a bunch of white people like a show about a bunch of black people. Maybe we'll learn something.
Though I still don't know what's up about barber shops. Is it a hair needs cutting often thing? Or just a meeting place for the community because their hair needs cutting? Didn't seem like a deal breaker if I knew the significance or not.
I think the show suffered from the same "too many episodes" problem the others did, where things felt stretched.
I liked Cottonmouth. I would have liked a bit more on why everybody's named after a snake and how it makes sense that Diamondback who isn't part of the family has a name like that. It's like a thematic hole. Probably made worse by making DB related to LC.
I'm a little fuzzy on how Harlem's Paradise got fixed up so fast, given we go from DB vs. LC there, a day or two later maybe and the big rematch at Pop's and as LC is being driven out by the Feds, the same night as the fight and BM getting released, people are streaming into HP.
I'm also confused on evidence rules on how if you got a tape of a witness outing the bad guy, and the witness is murdered, how is that NOT prosecutable? What jury doesn't hear the tape and think, "oh, the person who said that was murdered, how convenient, I vote guilty."
Otherwise, what use is recording evidence if you actually still need the witness to testify. You're basically admitting the recording was useless, and only a live witness matters. That feeds right into the bad guys hands, given they are the only people willing to kill others to further their ends.
