Personally I love the show and setting, so I'm going to try to do this from the perspective of someone who isn't so in touch with it as myself. Given the setting of the show, it may be off-putting and unappealing to viewers, but I guarantee you if you watch past the first 3-4 episodes that it will really catch your interest. Regardless of whether or not you like the setting, that is when the story starts to really pick up and the intensity gets turned up a notch. Honestly, if you are someone who is doubting watching this because you don't know whether it will be good or bad, seriously give it a try because the writing is great. (If you are a hip-hop fan, then you'd probably really like the soundtrack too)
