When Kofi-Abrefa and Flenory square off, BMF is at its most potent and stimulating. The passion oozes from this passion project.

Russell Hornby is a powerful presence as Charles Flenory; we’re interested to see how he continues to influence his sons as their empire grows.

Throughout the first four episodes of the season’s eight in total, “BMF” defaults to distracting “vintage” filters and scattershot storytelling that often threaten to flatten the setting and characters that might otherwise make it unique.

Having just finished Season 2 I'm looking forward to seeing where the story of Meech and Terry go next. I found this show kept my interest a lot better than the Power series. The acting is top notch and with few exceptions they do a great job of fleshing out the motives and desires of even supporting characters. If I had to critique something I would say there's a couple more sex scenes than were probably needed to drive the plot forward. Hopefully this show continues to get renewed, there's still so much story left to tell and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Although I found this pilot's narrative a bit slow and with several characters being introduced at once, which may have made the approach too superficial, the pilot feels like it will be worth watching the entire season. With the cliffhanger at the end, there are already signs that things will start to move. And of course, after Power's success on the channel, we have to give 50 Cent another chance, who knows how to tell a story very well.
