BMF

Lets start by saying I do not like to glorify violence in any community especially the Black community but this is a raw and uncut look at this type of lifestyle of drugs and gun violence from non-fictional characters gives it tremendously authenticity.

I have been watching since the beginning and shockingly it is getting better, specifically in Season 4. That is very rare for a show to go four solid seasons and still remain consistent. In fact, the 4th season is probably the best so far and isn't even close to being finished with 4 or 5 episodes left.

This is as allegedly close to the Flenory bros life as it can get and the writers did a great job portraying that. By all means, and not condoning it, but I can clearly see why they did what they felt they needed to do at the time for their family and how easily those shortcuts can go south in an instant. The show makes you feel like you're in the driver seat watching everything unfold.

It is a rare show because it does not inject politics and that for me is a breath of fresh air since pretty much 98% of movies and TV have an agenda or political undertone in them that you can smell a mile away even before the movie gets going and for that I appreciate this show.

Crime, drugs, violence, shattered families and communities are no doubt in my mind a tragedy. But if we turn our heads and act like this wasn't happening then as it is still happening now, then that would be tragic within itself.

I wished this and wished it was a finished series with 5 seasons so i can watch like 5 eps a day that how much entertaining it was , cant wait for the next Episode next week.

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.

BMF is a gritty and violent series of how two brothers from Detroit, Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory (Demetrius Flenory Jr.) and Terry "Southwest T" Flenory (Da'Vinchi), and how they built one of the most successful and influential crime families in the country. It's based off a true story and while some of it is far fetched and made up, a lot of it is true too. Besides showing how they built their crime family it also shows their real family and how much they all loved one another even though their family didn't agree what the brothers were doing. One of the coolest things about the show is the Big Meech's real life son plays his father in his first acting role ever and is the highlight of the show.

First season was mildly entertaining,thought forgettable being written with so many stereotypes and tropes and being formulaic.

But 2nd season they doubled down on it. 50cent puts not even a single ounce of creativity or originality into it. Even the scenes, the shots introducing a scene its all the most basic 101 handbook. Like dropping a thing out of grocery bag and as shes trying to pick it up you see a hand reach down to pick it up, Or who the traitors are in the game, again 100% as in every 50cent show and based on generic tropes. Also it is so very budget.

Storywise one thing that is super annoying is how they mention how much they are earning(millions) yet they are broke most of the time. Or if the story needs it, or when Terry goes in business with his dad. How can he have ZERO money when he shouldve been a (multi)milionaire already. Where is all the money they making?

But the thing that bothers the most is the forced problem making or how quickly cops could turn a second in command. Also how the main guy is written is ridiculous, his brother helps him out of a serious serious jam and instead of dropping down to his KNEES and thanking him because it could be a huge deal, he curses him out and then punches him. Who writes this nonsense.

50 had a few pretty quality shows, or at least one, but lately given his shows it seems he has no interest in quality anymore, just low budget and little work invested in creation which is easily solved with formulaic generic writing.
