When
I
wrote
about
“American
Crime”
at
the
beginning of its second season,
I had no idea where the story
was going, but I still said there
were
no
other
shows that tackled
its
thematic
material with as
much intelligence
and
gravity.
As
the second season
progressed,
that
continued
to
be
true. The season
built its characters
and its story, and
pulled off some truly shocking
twists (like the brilliant scene
at the end of “Episode 7” in
which
a
character
shoots
a former classmate at the
school). There’s nothing to
suggest that season three will
do anything differently. It’s
taking on a new but no less
compelling set of themes with
a different group of characters
and a completely new story.
The premiere is saddled with
a significant amount of setup,
but it seems like the payoff will
be worth sitting through the
legwork.
The third season takes place
in Alamance County, North
Carolina. It follows a group
of people who are trying to
get by, despite their situation.
In the premiere, Luis (Benito
Martinez, “House of Cards”)
crosses the border and moves
into his work at a farm in
North Carolina. Meanwhile,
Issac
(Richard
Carbral,
“Southland”) tries to recruit
Coy (Connor Jessup, “Falling
Skies”), a drug-addicted, poor
man to work at the farm. Also,
we see the underage Shae (Ana
Mulvoy-Ten,
“CSI:
Cyber”)
work as a prostitute.
Within these stories are
powerful
themes that the
show looks to
explore
with
deftness
and
poise. Not only
does this season
talk about illegal
immigration,
it
also
deals
with child sex
trafficking and
drug addiction. Each one of
these issues has had its moment
in
the
political
spotlight
recently,
especially
illegal
immigration.
As
president
Donald Trump begins to crack
down on illegal immigration
in the US, the story the show
is telling about Luis takes on
increasing relevance. During
the premiere, he’s placed at
a farm for work and is told
he owes a major debt to the
people who brought him to
North Carolina. It’s clear the
show has something to say on
these subjects, and I’m looking
forward to watching the show
explore these ideas.
“American
Crime”
’s
ensemble remains one of the
best on television. This season,
the show brought back many
of the stars of last season and
added a couple big stars as well.
Regina King (“The Leftovers”),
who won an Emmy for both
seasons of work, plays a social
worker who tries to help out
the kids involved in the sex
trafficking case. She spends
a lot of the premiere setting
up her character, but the role
is
ripe
with
opportunities
to grow. Jessup, who was a
pleasant surprise as Taylor
last year, is another actor
with a character with a lot
of potential. Cherry Jones
(“24”) and Tim DeKay (“White
Collar”) are the show’s biggest
additions, playing a brother
and sister who are running a
financially-strapped farm.
My biggest criticism for
the premiere is that it spends
so much time setting up the
characters
and
their
roles
that it doesn’t clearly lay out
the arcs for the season. It
introduces who the people are
and the role they play in the
county, but I can’t say where
the story is going and how
the show is going to explore
its themes. “Crime” is using
world-building
rather
than
story to introduce its season.
Still, I trust that showrunner
John Ridley (who won an
Oscar for “12 Years a Slave”)
knows what he’s doing and will
explore this world to its fullest
potential.
Last year, “American Crime”
was one of the best shows to
air on TV. It explored difficult
material
with
grace
and
composure. This year appears
to
be
no
different.
With
compelling
characters
and
relevant
thematic
material,
“Crime” looks like it’s going
to maintain that crown this
season.

Season 3 Premiere

‘Crime’ continues to wow
Rick Ross’s tried & true
MAYBACH MUSIC GROUP
Somewhere
on
the
theoretical
spectrum
of
ridiculousness,
roughly
situated
between
Pusha
T
calling himself the “L. Ron
Hubbard
of
the
Cupboard” and Lil
Wayne
claiming
that
“everyday
Christmas, I’m egg
nogged out,” lies
Rick Ross, he of
ultimate excess.
When it comes
to
luxury,
Rick
Ross
isn’t
merely
part
of
the equation — he makes
the
equation,
each
boast
leading
to
more
attention,
all
new
attention
leading
to
an
exponentially
more
extravagant life. For Ross,
there’s an eternally correct
answer
to
sustaining
said
equation: Blow Money Fast.
So let’s talk about his latest
release, Rather You Than Me,
which
is
sufficiently
nice.
There are fireworks, sure.
They begin with the first track,
“Apple of My Eye.” Ironically
enough, the apple of Ross’s eye
is himself — not his significant
other, or his child, but himself,
for doing it big. Especially for
thinking introspectively about
doing it big. He stays true to
himself by shining a light on,
well, himself. In other words,
the track is quintessentially
Rick Ross.
Quintessential
Rick
Ross
also means quintessentially
phenomenal
production.
“Santorini
Greece”
works
thanks
to
a
comfortably-
paced drum, dreamy piano
and pitched vocal riffs. It
transports back, all the way
back, to 2010.
Rick
Ross
ideally needs a
grand entrance,
a red carpet of
sorts, and once
upon a time, on
Kanye
West’s
“Devil
in
a
New
Dress,”
he got just that. After over a
minute of similarly dreamy
riffs, in came Rozay. Rozay
is
a
French
champagne.
French champagne is rather
objectively dope. The math
adds up: He is inherently extra
in the best possible way, and
“Santorini Greece” is another
entertaining embodiment of it.
Maybe
Ross
needed
a
Chris Rock intro on “Idols
Become Rivals” and “Powers
That Be” to prove he doesn’t
take himself too seriously.
When he opts for compelling
substance — if you absolutely
need that sort of thing from
him — it comes in the form
of “Game Ain’t Based On
Sympathy” and “Scientology.”
There’s
gorgeous
jazzy
instrumentation in the former
track.
Even so, it’s undebatable
that the hits, nay, unapologetic
bangers,
have
been
the
lifeblood of Ross’s career; this
is crucial to acknowledging
Ross’s accomplishment. He’s a
visionary because he survives
and thrives on hits, and it
works, if only because his hits
really fucking bang, time and
time again.
Indeed,
a
discography
highlighted
by
bona
fide
bangers — years later we bump
“Hustlin’,”
“B.M.F.,”
“Stay
Schemin’,” “Sanctified” and
the like — has proven to be
timeless. The best of Rather
You Than Me adds to the case.
Three years from now we
very well could be bumping
“Trap Trap Trap” (“Only fuck
if she exclusive / Her favorite
rapper Lil Boosie / To tell the
truth I didn’t ask / When it
come to bitches I’m Gucci”),
what with its almost reckless
features
from
both
Young
Thug and Wale. The single,
along with the trappy “Dead
Presidents” and hook-friendly
“She On My Dick,” certainly
feels like it has staying power.
Rather You Than Me, as
an entire album, exists in a
fantastical world that feels
fairly exclusive to those other
than him and his crew. All are
invited to experience what it’s
like as long as the guests don’t
try to rationalize, well, any
part of it. With this in mind,
it’s not too difficult to find a
funny sort of sanctification
still surrounding Rozay.
