The Sopronos was about the soap opera of upper-class mob life. What do you get, Gary asked, when you transplant that tension to the African-American gangs of inner-city Los Angeles? Answer -You get the story of CQ, a young man who's set his sights on becoming the boss of the L.A. rackets - if he lives to see the dawn! A potent mix of American Gangster and The Wire for fans of Brubaker's Criminal!
