challenging
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes

i need ashley and jaquavis to the front right now. this series is draining the life out of me. every corner we turn around the cartel cannot catch a break . the time jumps in this installment really sapped a lot of its potential, especially since it feels like there’s a major lack of the thrilling action we’re used to from their earlier works.
the title is also a tad bit misleading - makes it sound like we're finally going to witness the Cartel's redemption arc with Carter teaming up with Baron. But instead, we’re knee-deep in the drama of Money 2 and CJ. the weight their name carries puts them to the test, and it's crazy to see how much they’re forced to grow up at such a young age. breeze is the last og diamond standing and has had no choice to mature. we get a minor glimpse at zyir's condition, knowing how A&JC like to resuracte their characters, i am not surprised. and omg, CARTER??!! after everything we've been through, this is what y'all do. if there was any time to pull a resurrection act, NOW would be it.
