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.

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.

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.
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.
