O.G. Arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The writing in O.G. Treats its characters as people first, plot devices second.

He is faced with the decision to put his own release at risk in order to protect a young man named Beecher from growing gang controversies. Jeffrey Wright and Theothus Carter lead a cast that treats the material with real seriousness. It hit screens in 2018. The performances in O.G. Do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Jeffrey Wright carries the material with a performance that rewards close attention. Worth starting sooner rather than later.
