    Great show, all around!

    I confess I only watched because I'm a big fan of Josh Duhamel and Jimmi Simpson, but I was blown away by how good the overall cast and writing were. Having seen both theatrical bio-pics on Biggie and Tupac, this one really brought a lot more hypothetical possibilities to the story. We still don't know who killed these talented young men (not a spoiler, as the show's printed messaging reveals no arrests were made), but this was a very worthwhile effort. Having Wendell Pierce (from "The Wire") in the cast made it that much more authentic.

    Also, good for Josh Duhamel to get away from all those romantic comedies! We knew how great he can be given the right material. :)

    Very interesting

    I prefer metal/heavy rock , really didn't know anything about Tupac/Biggie smalls. I just stumbled upon this show on Netflix and I really enjoyed it. I don't know how factually correct it is but it tells a great story and left me feeling sad for the deaths of two young talented men. The two mothers were well represented and the acting for detective Poole by jimmi Simpson really portrayed a man under immense strain. Excellent show , well told story

    The illest

    All eyez on me was a let down but this is well deserved for the fans

    Surprisingly good

    I watched this with some skepticism since many attempts at Biggie and Tupac have failed miserably in the past, most recently the Tupac movie - but this is really good. The cast is great and the show has incredible historical detail. Important parts are told with a mix of new shots with actors and homevideos and photos of the actual events from 96 and 97. I had goosebumps on quite a few occasions. Definitely worth a watch, even for people who don't have any interest in the music or icons that are Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.

    Very entertaining

    I don't know if they've got all the facts right, but then again they never claim to do so. At the beginning of each episode they state some things might be dramatized for the shows sake and I must say I haven't once felt like this caused any problems for the story.

    Overall the series is compelling and entertaining, if you are interested in the murders of Biggie and Tupac but don't know much about the topic this would be a good place to start researching and learning, although it does get a bit confusing at times, so be sure to pay attention all the way. It's not one of those scrolling-through-your-timeline-while-watching-netflix kind of thing, which by itself makes it a pretty good series.

    • Trivia
      Marcc Rose also portrayed Tupac Shakur in Straight Outta Compton (2015).
    • Goofs
      In a scene where Tupac and Biggie are hanging out together, Tupac has a "Makaveli" tattoo on the right side of his neck. In reality, Tupac did not get this Makaveli tattoo until 1996 after he got out of prison in late 1995 and signed with Death Row Records, eventually taking on his Makaveli persona. At this stage, Tupac and Biggie were no longer friends due to the November 30th, 1994 Quad Studio shooting in which Tupac blamed Biggie for having prior knowledge about the shooting.
