Somewhat stereotypical, and certainly clichéd writing, but captivating, particularly as performed by 2 of my favorite actors, Taraji P. Henson & Terrence Howard, ever since seeing them in one of my favorite gritty, touching movies, Hustle & Flow. Like that infamous film, there will be welcome music. A flashback scene in the pilot episode almost harks back to that time they worked together. Can't help but feel personally invested in its characters, which may be biased since I so admire the work of the actors playing the roles. "A unique family drama set in the world of a hip hop empire." Pretty sure it's the first series featuring that premise. Enjoying so far, and anxious to watch where it goes.
