Season 1 Review:
It’s keen-eyed and unflinching without giving in to the temptation to make everyone as bad as possible; even the authorities are human beings. Because of this, it holds the tragedy of squandered human potential up to the light. It doesn’t have a complicated plot, and because of that you can see how much is really going on. It eschews sentimentality and achieves genuine feeling.

Season 1 Review:
The brilliant Jeffrey Wright plays Louis in the HBO movie O.G., and it is one of the finest performances of his career. ... O.G. is a work of fiction and yet is almost unsettling in its authenticity. Director Madeleine Sackler does a magnificent job of plunging us into this world.
