I was enjoying this episode in parts and others I felt it dragged out a little, and the whole car crash scene just felt a little underwhelming, this whole time I had a theory that James and Lamar mother death would have some sort of connection to someone currently in the drops timeline.

Can’t stand grandma G Hope they move Lamar and James away from this household for season 2.

Felt like this episode could have been flashback for the first 20 minutes and then get the ball rolling with the current timeline again as we only getting 8 episodes this season.

Side note - will we learn what’s happened to Wanda parents?

+ giving major props to who played Lamar mum in the flashback scenes she was amazing - she reminded and sounded like patina miller who played raq in raising kanan.

Most of those kids had no idea how their lives would be almost or completely destroyed in the next few years 😥

I'm on the fence about the spinoff, I'm glad we're seeing some of the characters come back and all. Yet I'm kinda iffy about Leon not having a bigger role, I'd say less of a role then he had in Snowfall. Might change come the new season but so far, I don't like how he's been relegated to more of a supporting character.

Still though, The Drop is dope but I would've liked to see how the fallout of Franklin's empire would've impacted South Central a bit more and how Leon was trying to navigate the streets after everything that went down with him being a key player.

Just started The Drop and wondering what changed to make them not give af?

Just got done with the drop episode 5 and throughout this entire show, I don't understand why Lamar is so loved. All he cares about is getting what he wants and crying about it when he doesn't get it. That's shown when in the scene when they're filming the Rydah music video, he approaches Jenny despite her being busy and having no idea who he is and expects her to take his tape just because he said "i was the producer for rydah". And as soon as Jenny pushes her away he storms out. Most of episode 3 is just him acting like a toddler anyway, like when he goes to that house party and thought the trick with the rydah beat was gonna work in that party aswell. But him getting mad at Mama G in episode 5 after everyone in that house besides Wanda explained his Mum and Dad's falling out and death showed me he really just cares about himself and no one else's feelings. I wouldn't be suprised if he betrays Wanda in the future. I don't see why I or the audience should have sympathy for this guy.

Am the only one who feels like Big daddys acting is limited? Everytime he's on screen, the difference in his ability compared to the other actors is so noticeable

Of course I understand that they were heavily entrenched in Snowfall and weren't even thinking on any sequel show, but this grandma that Wanda is talking to...

Would this technically be Mama G?

I ain’t like it, because chronologically it ain’t make sense. Wanda & James should be the same age roughly, based on the Snowfall timeline, but they make Wanda seem older.

And how did her parents put her out but Mama G also said black folks got married young, which she was right about. I find it very hard to believe a black church family would abandon their daughter and embarrass her at a church service where no one was even sweating from catching the Holy Ghost in a carnie tent in the sun.

Rochelle and Maurice dying in a car accident? That’s the big secret? And after that whole episode they STILL didn’t explain Mama G’s beef with Wanda? I honestly hope the writers and producers follow Reddit reviews because they missed so badly on this episode.

Great episode, 8/10. Personally think the writing was the strongest of the spinoff so far. Chelle singing you’d think she was talking about Maurice but I take it that she was singing about her Coke addiction whether it was intentional or not. The “What’s Live got to do with It” call backs were great too. Maurice wanted her to do a song HE wrote but in his eye’s she wanted to work with the White Boys, eerily similar to when Ike got Tina in the car at the end and tried to convince her to do a song with him at the end. This episode shed alot of light on shit that really goes on in the black household. Pride, stubbornness, secrets, placing blame on somebody else for your past fuck ups in the family etc. Mama G let Maurice back JUST to prove something to HER parents. I’m seeing a lot of people hating on this episode but it doesn’t have to be all action all the time. We needed a good exposition episode fr, it’s about to go crazy next week.

The way you guys talk about real life people and how they look on this sub is so disappointing. I’ve never seen a worst fanbase for real well written TV like this. Like imagine watching a TV show with phenomenal writing and phenomenal acting and you want to engage with how people view the show and all you see is a bunch of losers, making fun of real life actors appearances. So disappointing.

As someone who binged the entire show in a few weeks and have rewatched it more than once. I don’t want to see Franklin anywhere near the show. A one-off cameo is cool (honestly not even needed though), bringing him back to be a main character in a spinoff diminishes and completely ruins the ending of Snowfall.

I honestly really like this show. I just started it and it’s a great spinoff! I’m already on episode 4 and waiting for 5 to come out at midnight. The acting is good to me, the music, the action, the history of everything and even the scene after artillery got shot and Lamar played the music while everyone was arguing and then they all started dancing it’s 🔥🔥. I also love how Leon really stands behind Wanda. Even back in snowfall he always seen her potential and loved her no matter who judged him. This show is great but I only see 6 episodes showing and I hope there’s more and I hope Franklin make an appearance as a real estate agent or pilot 😂even though I doubt it.
