Anyone think the first half is going to be the calm before the storm?

Something about this show makes me think it is going to be like Skins where the first half we are introduced to the characters and things are good and then it ends with everyone at their peak. Then, from there, in the 2nd half, things get real, friends separate, and some don't even make it to the end.

With this show, considering how bad they portray the Bronx in 1977, you know someone is going to die. Zeke we know won't die because all of the flash forwards, but it seems something likely is going to happen to Shaolin with the way he sometimes talks about him.

Yeah I get the impression shaolin dies. I hope not, but the way he talks about him in '96 it seems like it.

He could end up in prison.

But I think your suggestion is more likely. Which is a bummer.

That's what I'm thinking, prison. But I definitely think one of them is going to die. Probably Ra.

Aw, come on, not Ra-ra! He's one of my favorite characters so far! He's the one always keeping everybody on their toes, and has everybody's back. He's like the group's unofficial hype man,lol.

That's why he's got to die. I've got a feeling. 😖 Glad to see there's someone else on this board who actually likes the show.

Wildcattin'...Wildcattin'. Pow! I'm gonna go.
