Black-ish. Ballers. Power. Empire. Top Boy. Being Mary Jane. Urban seems to slowly but surely become a series subgenre that is difficult to ignore as a viewer. Figuratively then, because if urban is not your party, the TV can of course always be switched off. For Empire, I would recommend that anyway, because months after seeing Season 1, blood is still pouring out of my eye sockets. Why everyone is so enthusiastic about that wet fart is really a mystery to me and now they come up with a second season too. Hell. Anyway, urban. Starz! has been contributing in this area since last year with Power and Survivor's Remorse. Both a bit slow starters who don't seem to get going until season two. Power with a wildly shooting 50 Cent and Survivor's Remorse with a sort of young LeBron James, who turns out to have a completely crazy family. Cam has a talent. Cam can throw a ball into a basket from far away. When he used to be the man in the squares of Boston, now he has to compete with the big boys. Cam has been drafted for the NBA. Hip Hip, hooray! With this step up, the bank account is also filling up at a fast pace and that attracts gold-digging vermin. "So I better fall back on my family", Cam seems to think, and then let the whole bunch of people take up residence in his million dollar penthouse. Together with his mother, sister and uncle, he tries to get used to his life as the new Kobe Bryant. Survivors Remorse? Survivors Happiness! Anyone who has enough calluses on their retina to quickly get rid of season 1 will not regret it at all. In season 2, everyone suddenly seems to be looking forward to it a lot more. Cam's mother has found some new curse dictionaries at the flea market, his uncle flushed his medicine down the toilet in a recalcitrant mood, and sister M has decided to only tell Cam the truth. The hard, unvarnished, painful truth. Even if he has not asked for it. Fun. Do you memorize more R Kelly songs than you would like? Is a dish, including the dessert, only complete for you if it contains fried chicken? Do you always put a toothbrush over your crisp white Air Force 1's after going out? Do you know by heart what color of leather Eddie had on his butt in Raw? Yes? Well, then Survivors Remorse might be for you. If you get stains on your neck from both chicken and R. Kelly and as far as you are concerned sneakers only belong in a gym, then I do not give any guarantees. So.
