Scandalous, Great acting, Funny, Entertaining

See it if you are willing to be shocked and entertained by fine portrays of some pretty off-the-wall characters living in Bushwick, Bklyn.

Don't see it if you are offended by some pretty "interesting" language and sexual situations.

Loud, Inventive set, Irreverent

See it if you like raunchy, over-the-top humor. It may be hard to understand the urban black idioms and speech, but the surtitles help. Amazing set.

Don't see it if You are put off by a superabundance of the f-, s-, and n-words or with graphic lesbian kissing and more. leave your 5-year-old at home.

Relevant, Raunchy, Funny, Entertaining

See it if you like story about wild/crazy night in the city, millennial characters, and overall want to be entertained. Also relevant social themes.

Don't see it if you are offended by vulgar language and sexual content. If you're looking for a clean, family friendly show this is not it.
