I don't have many criticisms, aside from the set up is just a bit contrived....No Uber, no Lyft? No regular taxi?

Was he going to drive his Dad's cab back drunk?

Eh, I work with someone whose parents run a taxi company. She lives a few block from me. One night a few of us went out after work, we were calling it a night, so out of instinct I pulled out my phone to call an Uber, I told her "I'm about to get this Uber", she gave me the:usure:, and said I'm not riding in an Uber, we'll take a taxi and I'll pay.

So for the son of a taxi driver to not even have Uber or Lyft cross his mind makes sense to me.

And he was thirsty as hell to go to this party, something he clearly wasn't used to doing and he was telling his boy, probably his only friend, about the girls were going to be there. He wasn't thinking straight. He'd only had sex once and he was about to be kicking it with the basketball team.

And being a college student living at home with parents, he might've not had the money to pay for a taxi.

Even if he ended up at the party, he would've either stood there awkwardly before driving back home or gotten drunk as fukk. He really wasn't planning shyt out, he just wanted to get there quickly as possible.

I know brehs here are writing dissertations on this show (:beli:) even though only episode has aired, but I have some issues with it.

Ol'boy picks up ol'girl and drives her around cause she is hot?

Ol'boy drinks, does drugs (like cocaine, ecstasy, etc) because girl is hot?

Is it that simple? From what we are getting from the story, dude is smart because he is in some physics/engineering class so why does he make so many stupid decisions?

He's desperate to fit in and prolly never got decent p*ssy thrown at him in his life. He's not gonna turn down that opportunity.

He said she's only the 2nd chick he's ever fukked.

Dude had the :leon: when he got invited to a party.

From the little we've seen, he probably has the one friend that was supposed to go to the party with him.

He's clearly not used to attention from girls.

Why not call 911 as soon as you discover her dead ?
Panic can be a motherfukker. The decisions he made minutes after he found her dead had me going :francis::upsetfavre::dwillhuh::patrice::martin::what::jbhmm::beli::skip::leostare::why::snoop::huhldup::ufdup::lupe::shaq2::dahell::aicmon::mindblown:

Plus,

Nas: Hello, 911, I'm calling to report a dead body. I picked this chick up in my dad's cab I stole, brought her back to her place, did some drugs, I stabbed her in the hand because she told me to, we drank a bit, started to fukk, I blacked out, woke up to find her stabbed to death in the bed we were fukking in.

first ep was dope imo... :banderas:

who yall think did it tho? :ohhh: im thinking the black dude at the gas station.. dude look like a hitman..:merchant:

thinking the girl was in with some drug dealer or something. the hearse driver saying "you wanna be my next passenger" & her having drugs and the place she was living.

and the way son with the beard was looking at them when they went into her spot. like he was put on the block to watch her. (that part could be a reach tho.)

Put a murder weapon in your jacket pocket bruhs
Is that knife definitely the murder weapon or just the knife he stabbed her with?
As a socially awkward college student. I don't have a huge problem with his immediate reaction/actions. But what I don't like is all the talking and cooperating with police once they found the knife and at the same time not calling his folks. He should have been screaming for mommy and daddy. They act like he was still on some, "Maybe they will not find out about this." shyt. lol
