The dynamics between poverty, crime and drug use this depicts are painfully real. In fact, poverty is a driving force for many of the characters on all sides of the story, from one of the protagonists, who lost someone to it, to one of the villains, who's just trying to make a place for people suffering from it and will harshly punish anyone who wastes food. Never waste food.
The team clearly had more ambitious ideas, which were hamstrung by the limited budget and number of episodes, but they did wonders with what they had. It looks good, is smartly directed and genuinely funny, all while tackling serious issues.
I honestly like it even more than the original series, whose sequel will hopefully mine some of the unused material left by its spinoff.
