9/10
Jail is no destination!..
12 January 2017
This is like a normal day in life of a black man trying to find his way up... Okay, we can say that being on top is nothing compared to the real, insightful aims in life; but still, it is to be experienced by billions of people.

More to that, a black man's journey upwards will reveal more challenges than the white men 'd encounter. Therefore, in Donald's work we see the story to be as close to the truth as he can possibly do...

The scenes where the dialogues take part between all kinds of "black people" is realistic as their accent as well as their phraseology are in point. Their closer bonds between themselves than their relations with "white" people were portrayed well.

It certainly is a problem in the society that people will divide their ways based on the culture backed up by the skin colour... But still, you feel close to the characters as if you are in those scenes. In a word, this is a success for the show!

The show's originality can be discussed upon as it is not the first show to delve into "rap" or "black lives matter" zone; but its approach is kind of dark and new. We've got to keep its tracks!..

Finally, their acting skills with respect to coolheadednes and aplomb are what anyone would remember this show by!.. Well!..

I give this episode a "8,8." Yes!..

"...Yet We desired to show favour unto those who were oppressed in the earth, and to make them leaders and to make them the inheritors..."

The Gracious Koran, the 5th Verse of the 28th Chapter (called "The Stories"). Amen.
