I wouldn't go THAT far. Derivative? yeah but isn't the whole thing cobbled together from from other great modern anti hero white guy leads anyway?
nah its an attempt to cobble together anti hero underdog gangster wronged woman coming of age genres
with strong representation of mental health and special needs

His mother hated him his whole life.
Wow. She knew all along.

There was also some nice camera work in some scenes. The cold openings were great.
If James Gunn only told them that Batman was a disaster cause nobody could see it; turning up the exposures was enough to make this series shine.

The cinematography was masterful in this one.

I got what you sayin

Assume my second message clarifies


And yea. Much of this shit is self defense/survival for her. Some of it is theater… headshot for ex

Her ambition is shaky lol and her regrets are real

Great character pairing Oz and Sofia

Oh I just remembered

She blew up an overpopulated poverty striken post flood neighborhood filled with innocent men women children.

I think that's malice - ish

Gave Sofia that whole speech about giving the underdog a chance....only to turn around and murder a loyal underdog.

I love how they don't hang a moral compass on Oz. Makes for a better viewing experience.

Loved the show, but had a hard time watching all the stuff w/ his mother. Having cared for my mother when she was ill, it just brought back tough memories. Just skipped over a lot of that.

Surprised that Vic got killed. Just shows how much of a sociopath dude was.

Cristin played the hell our of Sofia. Look forward to seeing her in other projects.

Well done series. I'm sure there will be a second season.

Great show! This shit drew you in and made you feel for the characters. That's why at the end you thought that Oz had some redeeming qualities but no, he's exactly who we thought he is. Cold blooded selfish sociopath and psychopath. That was hard to watch with Victor because he was the person you rooted for in the series. Excellent show! Loved Sophia's character too.
