Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
Anybody else watching this series on FX? Reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes seem to be lukewarm about it due to its complexity and only give it a 59% score but the viewers seem to love it and rate it at 82%. I agree with the viewers and would highly recommend it. Check it out here if you are so inclined:

I love the show. It has the street logic of The Wire and the geopolitics of The Americans. I am watching Snowfall and Ozark on Netflix. Another show about illicit **** trade.
 
It has the street logic of The Wire...

I agree. It is reminiscent of The Wire, though not quite as believable. IMO, too many of Franklin's adventures have a super hero/overly lucky feel and require the viewer to suspend disbelief. But I do like the show overall and have been watching it since the first episode. FX has a couple of good series now: Snowfall and ***** - though I suspect that the second season of ***** won't be nearly as good as the first.
 
Great Season premiere. Can't wait til next season. I gots to get my swear jar out. Drop a dime each time I hear somebody say nig***h Hah.
 
Rather surprising finale. I like the show. But no, it doesn't begin to touch The Wire for realism or writing. Still, a good show though.
 
Season 2 begins on July 19 at 10PM ET.
 
The last season began to fall flat. I didn't dislike it - I just didn't like it. If it gets renewed, I might watch one or two episodes. And then if it's not any better, I'll just drop it... like I have pretty much every modern TV show out there. Most of them are just a buncha "check the PC boxes", predictable, formulaic, Hollyweird crap.
