Review of Dope

Dope (II) (2017– )
8/10
Pretty good

This show is pretty interesting if you're interested in the drug world, or crime stories in general. It's just generally well put together and overall I really enjoy it. There are a few unbelievable stories that feel extremely scripted, but they don't really hurt the general feel or message of the episodes. My only main complaint with the series is that it's becoming increasingly dependent on extremely annoying shots of B-roll while blasting one of four songs, and over the course of the series those weird musical interludes become longer and more common. Feels like a dumb complaint to have about an otherwise entertaining show, but then again, I've heard "Devil's Playground" or "Gimme That Money" at least twenty times each over the course of three seasons. As long as the sound engineer chills out this show will remain one of my Netflix go-tos.
