I dunno about that. It was pretty good -- but I felt the number of racial pejoratives was gratuitous, and was mildly offended watching it. It's like having a gay friend who insists he can't be racist: because the show tackled racism head on it was OK to use those slurs to tell the story. One or two would have gotten the point across. But dozens? That, and the lead character seemed perpetually drunk. But awesome music, otherwise.</p>
