I feel like the beginning of the film was rushed so it was difficult to see how each event weighed on the lives of the character so that they may develop or become more exposed as it progresses. Almost immediately, he has sex with the guy who says he has a girlfriend, then the next time we see them they seem to be dating, having regular sex and doing drugs together. I think it wouldve added some value to see the progression of their relationship or at least a motivation behind whatever need they had possessed in order to be together despite the deterioration of their own individual lives. I was hoping that there was a reason for the escalation of the relationship but it just kept leading to the same place; mostly sex scenes and then abandonment from drug use.
The film would have improved for me had I been able to understand what was at stake by the time their relationship and lives deteriorated. I didnt finish the movie because I felt that what I was going to see wasnt going to be much different that what I had seen in the first 45 minutes.

How the story is told is my favorite part of this series. The way it is shot, the references to comic book storytelling in the lighting, color, and some montage-like shot sequences, are all incredibly creative. As a result, it has the general atmosphere of being cool and current.
The content of the story is aimed for a young audience who indeed talk about the pitfalls of capitalism in real life. Since they are the generation who will likely have to face the negative effects rather than its benefits, it is not inaccurate to show young, black teenagers in L. A doing it. However, the topic is not over-exhausted; nor does it take any of even the most radicalized characters seriously enough to use their solutions as a panacea; nor do they surprise you by "taking a turn on episode 4".
One of the reasons why the storytelling is so good is because it exposes people's objectives from their intentions which is a representation of us all irrespective of what our individualized beliefs are.
The show from the beginning has a clearly articulated perspective that reveals itself more as the events evolve. Any discerning viewer will observe that the show poses more questions on social ills (and its responses) than it would give any answers.
