Black Mafia Family

Well, acting is good, and there's a good plot too.

Based on true events, howcome some reviewers are ladalling it racist or sterotyped?

The best character is ill explored, and "meech" is, as told by other reviewer, incoherent.

If you like crime stories, worth a watch. But know that is based on true events. It is not racist.

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.

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.

I just finished watching the latest season of BMF and while BMF isn't the best gangster show I've ever seen, it's definitely worth watching. People try to compare this to the Power franchise because they're both about building a drug empire and both are created by 50 Cent. Try not to do that because this isn't as good as Power or any of the Power spinoffs. Just watch it for what it is and that's an entertaining show about the true story of BMF and how they became one of the most successful drug empires in the United States of the 80's and 90's because of the Flanery brothers, Big Meech and T. BMF starts small in Detroit and eventually expands across the United States as one of the biggest drug empires. The show also humanizes the brothers and how their once close family started to tear apart.

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.
