Not a bad show but takes a lot of obvious inspiration
I’m only 3 episodes in but I noticed not only are a lot of the actors from several notorious series (Power, All American, The Game etc) it takes a lot of inspiration from different things.
It’s pretty obvious Coldtrain is a different take on Ghost
Isaiah’s neglect towards his family to chase his dream job is pretty much Ghost
Isaiah’s bad relationship with his dad who still lives in the hood and he pays his bills is straight from All American. Coach Baker had a rough relationship with his dad who lived in the hood and he paid his bills and didn’t want his kids around him. Even the scene where Noah invited Isaiah’s dad to the thanksgiving party was straight from all American where the baker kids invited coach bakers dad to Spencer’s birthday party behind his back lol
A 4 man robbery crew reminds me of GTA Vs story in tv show form wildly enough. 3 guys do the ground work, 1 is smart and experienced, 1 is reckless and the other looks up to the first guy. 4th guy is mostly the brains of the crew.
Even though the concept is pretty non organic and takes from a lot of different places, I still like it. It’s a pretty decent show
