    When Michael Williams was on breakfast club dj envy kept asking him if there was going to be a season 2 and if they'd find out who the real killer was. Williams then went into what the show was really about but envy said he never thought of it like that, he looked at it more like usual suspects where the ending would be a big reveal.

    Made me realize how much of an idiot dj envy was. Like he'd want a second season where nsz is trying to get on with his life, gets to anther party meets another girl and THEN da da dummmmm

    She wins up dead in bed next to him and he is like oh ? not again!!! And then he back smoking heroin with freddy talking about i know you innocent again dogg...ima help you. Stone and the rest believe in him and it's all about them trying to just say it's a huge coincidence. Then he gets off and marries the Indian lawyer.

    Then third season he goes to another party, try to get on with his life, then da da dummmmmmm

    Another girl winds up dead, and he like man ain't this some ? , i didn't do it. And he back smoking heroin with freddy... And Freddy is like man I'm staying to doubt your innocence, but he's like i didn't do it i didn't do it, ppl keep framing me... But ppl start to doubt...

    That's what dj envy wanted the show to be

    He could've talked his way back to her.


    I mean, she's a lawyer and all........but Naz had her pulling drugs out her snatch like that dude's mom that killed himself.


    Can't tell me he couldn't have gotten back with her.

    Doubtful, even though she didn't get debarred she'll basically get blackballed from ever practicing law again. I mean if he could come back from basically ruining a woman's life like that more power to him but I doubt it.

    You 2 ? the ? is DISBARRED not debarred!! LLS

    I apologize for mispronouncing a word that is hardly ever used in my lexicon. One of my main pet peeves is "revocated" mainly when people are talking about their probation or parole being "revocated" I'm always like that ? ain't a word your probation has been "revoked".

    A beautiful woman suggested this show so i binge watched..

    My takeaways after season 1 are we the audience have no idea if dude is the killer or not yet, there's so much misdirection in the script. It may turn out that the well-intentioned defense is wrong and the ill-intentioned prosecution is right...

    Meanwhile i predict dude will turn into a complete savage in prison just to be acquitted (whether he's actually guilty or not)

    How? It's been a minute since I've seen it but the killer was the old bf and nas was let out because of that. Prison definitely hardened him tho.

    LOL H.B.O the G.O.A.T!!! They stay putting out classic material. Most of it always gets picked up late in the game by people though. Oz, the wire, chris rock show, the corner, Real sex, taxi cab confessions, game of thrones, etc etc the list goes on.

    SMH at some people not getting the point about the show. It wasn't about who the killer was or if he got caught or not. IT WAS ABOUT HOW ? UP THE SYSTEM IS AND HOW THEY DO PEOPLE(mostly minorities). The shady side of the justice system. How y'all miss the blatant displays of racist bias, negligent cops, crooked correctional officers, the ? up politics, and crooked/greedy/sneaky lawyers who only in it for self(money & fame). The main cop in the story represented the "good cop" overshadowed by a broken system. You can tell that he eventually just said ? it, "can't beat them, join them".

    That last scene where they basically figured out nas didn't do it. But kept quiet about it should have told you what it was all about. They felt bad about the case that they dropped because they couldn't get noting out of it. The lady finally grew a damn heart and went after the real killer. ? up thing is, an innocent person has already been ruined. People that work for the justice system was throwing shade at the show because it was talking about the ugly side. Even though they know that this ? goes on all the time. They were mad at that O.J simpson show for the same reason.

    just finished watching it.....

    great writing, cast and photography

    the prosecutor, her bulldog tenacity for a bs conviction and her lisp annoyed the hell out of me

    the negative impact on Nas' family was hard to watch (his dad selling his taxi cab share/pawning belongings for cash, Nas' mom having to get a job, unwanted news reporters at they house, throwing bricks through their window, etc)

    the peek behind the curtain on how deals are made among the respective attorneys as they hang out at the same bars, restaurants, etc

    Nas being turned into a savage and will most likely go back to jail due to him possibly being unable to secure gainful employment, stay drug-free, succumb to his rage, being ostracized from his community, etc

    Chandra looks like a ? librarian when she wears glasses
