    Facts or facts?...the fact that some people hate Tariq it is evidence that Michael Rainy Jr is a great actor. He definitely can and will be running this spin off.

      david hutchinson Lala’s character and talent isn’t Rainey’s character and talent. If she was a main character she very well could be like that.

      We don’t hate him we don’t like his character, two different things & it’s mostly because of how the writers wrote him & his one dimensional acting..

    I see it, the girl at school is like Angela and Mary J blidge daughter is like his mother which means although he is feeling the girl at school, he will end up getting in deeper with the other one because of her connections. Now that I know this is the only season for this Book, Tariq will get killed and Tasha will stay in jail. It's the only way they can completely move on to the Kane book without leaving the audience wanting more. Corny if you ask me, The Wire is still better, I mean Ghost and Tommy are copies of Stringer Bell and Avon anyway. Now they done brought Cheese from the dead, I wonder will any other former actors from The Wire will get casted
