Been watching this on Netflix for the past week and the premise is good :obama:. Hell season 1 was very entertaining television :ehh:

After that…while going through season 2, you can tell the writers had no plan and were just making up shyt on the fly just to push along the plot. It was still entertaining but it started going all over the place.

One plot point in particular..
Near the end of season 1 when Nick and Izzy randomly start fukking after an argument after giving NO clues that they were into each other. Then after that the show didn’t even BOTHER to acknowledge it. And then in season 2 they lowkey retcon it and have Nick get with his investors daughter and Izzy became a lesbian.

:mindblown:

i know the show dropped in 2017 and went for 3 years. But you can tell the show was struggling for an identity. It’s like “The Social Network” meets “Snowfall,” “Queen Of The South,” and a little bit of “Ozark.”

Researched the status of the series and it seems like it’s in limbo. They didn’t cancel or renew the show. But with Netflix picking it up and it becoming popular again, I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes back next year for season 4.

Would be interesting how it would go since it’s been gone for 2 years.

Definitely need a season 4 after the way the 3rd season ended. I enjoyed it, season 1 was a lil disjointed with a bunch of unecessary sex scenes especially early but it got better when Pearlman joined the cast. Great timing for when they put it on Netflix while Crypto getting more popular.

Good show but it’s not coming back. They basically wrapped up all the storylines with the last episode.

The overkill sex scenes luckily stop after episode 1. If you keep watching it actually becomes very good.

I just finished season 3 today. I liked it, was looking for similar shows or something else from the same creator/ writer
The show to watch after this is: ZEROZEROZERO on Amazon Prime - trust me.

*SPOILER ALERT*

*SPOILER ALERT*

I got hooked on this show. I like how the different walks of life clashed. I ended up really disliking both Izzy (extremely self-centred mindset) and Nick (in over his head). Ronald and Wes were my favourite characters, and Mara. The lawyer was the worst cast character easily. Some things were unrealistic (10 million users and you’re not making a single Dollar? How about charging 5% of all transactions ...). The FBI dude was a sick fukk, but well acted for sure. Great show that deserves a Season 4!

In Season 2 yes…but if u saw the ending of season 3 :whew:….they gotta wrap it up

It was a really good show, I liked it. Ronald was my boy but it’s been like three years. They’re not bringing it back :francis: Ronald went to the douchebag frat brothers, got them to invest their money in the company which fixed their cash flow problems. They got all the shady Russians arrested. Clay from SamCro got his money back. The daughter got to be CEO. Izzy is off doing whatever. Adam Brody went off the rails killing the undercover FBI agent to save Izzy, he was already cracking from the pressure of being CEO and now with the daughter taking over he can go back to the sideline. Ronald was never going to be CEO and he knew that. These white folk would never let someone with his background be the head person in charge. But he did right by Tewwy. The company is now worth nine to ten figures. He has a very big piece of it. The CEO daughter and him are tight in a weird way and he’ll keep being the idea guy, marketing guy and guy who fixes stuff behind the scenes. And since he snitched on his boys he can’t go back to block anymore. He also let Adam Brody’s character know they wasn’t sh*t anymore after he tried to get him locked up which basically means going forward there’s no reason for the three to be kicking it. It’s only pure business between them from now on. I would love to see a season four but they kinda wrapped up all the storylines.

Even after they killed that government chick and buried the body? And even if we keeping it real it seems like season 3 aired in 2019 and i have a feeling 2020 kinda spoiled those plans cuz of the pandemic. Cause apparently the show isn’t cancelled or renewed. So who knows it could happen :yeshrug:

Main latin girl is an entitled, spoiled, selfish fukking bytch. Has no redeemable qualities. She made me not want to watch the show. I cut it after she couldn’t stop Daewoo from fleecing her accounts then got mad at Nick when he told her she better find the money.

The way she talks to her family had me livid. How the mother ain't go upside that bytches head with some chancletas was mind boggling.

Most of those large tech outfits don't turn a profit for years. That's why they seek funding so aggressively

That's one of the most accurate things in the show
