There's some dark comedy, but I'd guess you'd label it drama. I hesitate to label some of it social commentary, but it's about a poorer part of Atlanta. It's about a guy who went to Princeton but either dropped out or was kicked out (first two episodes don't tell you), who moves back to a poorer part of Atlanta where he is from. His cousin is trying to make it in the rap business and he offers to manage him. Then they are involved in a shooting, but so far they leave it a mystery as to what actually happened. They're arrested for weed possession and taken to lock up, but neither is charged in the shooting in the second episode. That's the first two episodes in a nut shell.
I liked it. 30 minute episodes and Fx put two out on its first night. Not sure if they plan on doing that each Tuesday or not.
We just started Season 2 of Narcos. Good stuff.

Enjoying this one so far.

I love taking in the entire scene. When I have to look away from the actors and the setting it takes away from the experience for me. Besides, too much is lost in translation with subtitles.
And another thing, people think watching French movies is some kind of cool cultural experience, but it's not. It just means you hate dogs
