Black Mafia Family

I've seen many of you punks saying that lil meech cannot act . Funny! He's the only one that have acted real in this series. Not because you hate his character you will say that bmf is bad!!

And it's even about his father.

If you don't like the show then don't watch it.

I'm surprised this crime drama has not attracted more attention. It has Snoop Dogg as a seedy pastor for instance! It tells of the real-life figure Meech Flenory (played ironically by his own son) and his Black Mafia Family gang. They deal in drugs and get into some pretty prickly situations with their rivals as well as dirty cops. Of course, the series admits that it may not all be true, but never the less, you find yourself enjoy the compelling narrative. The acting is to be commended but the writing can be a bit corny as the gangsters sometimes spout "poetic" one-liners. Never the less, I find myself on the edge of my seat waiting for the next round.

Surprised by all the bad reviews here. I watched all 3 episodes to date and I'm pretty hooked. I'll admit I nearly switched it off on the very first scene, it came across as cheap and tacky. Also I'll agree the first club scene was poorly done, but after those few slumps it really picks up. I think the club scene was fitting to an extent to show what they are in the moment - young and all show with not a huge amount of respect.

But seriously the acting & story really picks up as it goes on. Didn't really like Meech's character in the beginning either but he grew on me.

My recommendation - give it a go at least for 3 episodes, if you're not feeling it by then move on.

It follows all the previous paint by numbers black crime shows and movies but since this is based on a true story I doubt they could improvise that much.

The production values are good and there is this "feel" and potential to it that it will get better as it goes on.

All in all, 2021 hasn't been that good a year for TV or Cinema and I think this show is better than a lot of the other content put out this year.

This series is so under publicized and underrated. I mean it has Snoop Dogg in the show - playing one of the most hilarious characters I've ever seen. But putting aside his ludicrous cameos, the series is just a non-stop riot. A very tense crime drama about drug dealing gangsters and turf wars. It's also about personal vendettas and revenge. The character plot lines interweave so well.

The music is also great- I've constantly found myself Shazamming songs. There's a lot of great 80s R&B throwback songs that will take you down memory lane. Definitely no dull moments in this binge-worthy series.
