Exactly.
When watching the first few episodes you can't help from wanting to strangle Nasir. Like dude wtf are you thinking.
First off to grab the knife? Stupid. Then to break back in. At that point after you realized you left your keys.....how do you not just call the police and explain shit instead of breaking back in. Insanely stupid.
Then to try to run away after they find the knife on you. Dude was just an idiot. All of those dumb actions could result in a conviction. Because those actions just don't happen with innocent people.
Interested to see how it wraps up. Can definitely tell it won't have a happy ending.
Nas isn't stupid, he knows he has to adapt to the prison lifestyle in order to survive. Freddie is definitely the fuel to that fire though. Seems like he is escalating Nas' persona on purpose. There isn't that much gifted in prison without some payback.
Think we'll find out Freddie was involved with the girl's murder. Step-Dad probably owed him serious money and lets Freddie know about pay-day if the girl dies. Freddie calls his guy on the outside to do the hit, Duane Reade. That's why Reade gives Nas the mean mug when the girl enters the house because he's not supposed to be there.
Think Nas probably ends up killing himself and then we find out what really happened.
Who knows but I like guessing. Feels like True Detective all over again.

Another great episode. The one guy pretty much shot down the prosecution's entire case on the stand. Missing knife from the set. Cut on Nas' hand caused by breaking glass on the door.
Still think it ends in a depressing way. Nas will probably be found not guilty but do something to remain in jail. Then we find out the real killer.
What I really hope happens is this starts playing and Rust Cohle jumps out and it's the intro to True Detective season 3.

Series started strong but really fell flat after 3-4 episodes. Extremely lackluster and disappointing finale. All in all I wouldn't recommend the series at all. Dumb.
Courtroom scenes were awful. Female defense attorney was a putrid actress. Characters weren't compelling or believable. Storyline was played (good boy gone bad) and didn't go anywhere original. Waste of time.

Don't read if you havent seen and want to watch still....
Only character I had trouble understanding was Chondra. She made no sense why she wanted him on the stand that bad. Did she have something to prove that the viewers werent able to pick up? I don't know. But to go to the extent of traffiicing drugs for him so he isn't too sick to do it made no sense.
John Turturro absolutely dominated this show. From start to finish he was marvelous. Exceptional actor. The closing argument was powerful and probably one of the few reasons he got off. Besides the fact that the prosecutions closing argument was awful because she stopped believing it halfway through it
