Dre and Ice cube are producers and so one can see the the way they whitewash certain aspects of their early lives. Having said that, the movie is done reasonably well. Ice Cube's son is pretty good casting as he resembles and sounds like his dad.

The highlight of the movie is Jason Mitchell who is great as Easy E. JAson Mitchell deserved an acting nomination as he is one of our emerging great actors and has a very engaging screen presence as one can see in this movie and the TV series Chi.

Paul Giamatti is good, but i wish they showed just a little more nuance in his shady character in the second half of the movie.

While I found the show watchable , the lead character is just annoying as hell which is fine if she were more interesting or was a side character in another show. But for her to be the focus of this series is too much. I lost all patience when she tried to pay homage to Run Lola Run. The screenplay of that episode was ridiculously immature. Like some 5th grader decided to make her own Run Lola Run homage Jason Scwartzman Rushmore style.
