'Black Mafia Family' Episode 1 Review: See it, touch it, obtain it is the mantra
The opening of "Love All, Trust Few" gave us a deeper understanding of the bond and trust brother Demetrius and Terry share, as we see them get whooped together for a mistake only one did. We see Meech in a tight spot as Pat(Wood Harris) makes it clear who's boss and orders him to pay up in 6 days or it's the gun for him. Humor makes an entry in the episode with the appearance of Pastor Swift ( Snoop Dogg) coming to bless the family. Snoop Dogg is hilarious as a man of God who's a little too touchy with the ladies. Pastor Shifty as Charles (Russell Hornsby ) rightly refers to him. We gotta commend 50 Cent on his smart artistic choices with this quite easily being the episode highlight.
Trouble seems to be in the books for the brothers as Detective Bryant (Steve Harris) tips them off about a new unit being formed to disrupt drug operations. Meech shines in this episode as we are finally given a taste of the 'visionary' of the group. Quite the big brain moment as we see him use a food truck as a front for his business. Lamar (Eric Kofi Abrefa) meanwhile, is up to no good as we see him threaten Filmel (Markice Moore) his own gang mate who he put in the hospital. Abrefa continues to perform well managing to irk us each episode successfully, making us wonder what the mad man will do next. One of the most interesting developments came with Kato (Ajiona Alexus) who is shown in cahoots with Lamar. Now we don't know if it's by choice or if she's being threatened, either way, Meech has got to look out for his back. Coming to the other brother Terry who's been missing in action, we finally see him stepping up as the other half of the operation proclaiming his influence as well. We can expect to see tensions arise between him and Meech.
"Love All, Trust Few" served as the best episode of the series yet. The show is still premature but raised our hopes with the latest episode being an entertaining watch. As the pace picks up so does our interest as we finally can hope for expectations to be met. Episode 3 finally displayed the potential the show has with us looking forward to the next one.
