Spending 15 years in prison didn't transform Tray, but everything else sure seemed to change. After he is released on good behavior, he returns to his newly affluent Brooklyn neighborhood and is shocked to find out how much different the world is. For starters, he's a father to twin sons, born to his former girlfriend Shay. She is now married to a successful white man who is helping raise the teenagers, who grew up in private schools and can't relate to their dad's hardscrabble upbringing. Wishing he could connect with his kids but having neither the money to support them nor himself, Tray relies on some well-worn skills to make ends meet while treading unfamiliar territory. Oscar winner Jordan Peele is co-creator and co-executive produces the series along with star Tracy Morgan.

It delivers okay in terms of chuckles, but it also reflects on issues of race and class, and the search for male relevance in a world that in recent years has made many men feel obsolete. Go to Full Review
Pilot Viruet BuzzFeed News 06/25/2018
The Last O.G. doesn't fully commit to being a dramedy: The punchlines sometimes fall flat or feel too retrograde, while the drama feels restrained and too fleeting to land. But it succeeds in telling a story not told enough. Go to Full Review

Morgan and Haddish are reliably funny, and the story of Tray's return to a world that passed him by has a lot of potential. Go to Full Review

Miles M 04/12/2023 Tracy Morgan is so damn funny, and the plot is charming and sweet. See more 02/16/2021 New Favorite Show! Best show on TV Hands down! See more 01/06/2021 An AMAZING show with a very funny and comedic cast. See more 06/21/2020 Amazing first season, great thoughtful show, do not watch season 2 though, unless you want toilet humor, but first season was brilliant and enjoyed it a lot See more 06/10/2020 I found the DNA comment about Irish being drunks offensive and hurtful. The writer's need diversity training. Will never watch again. See more 04/09/2020 This is seriously offensive to white people. How is it all black people think all of us are racist when you say things like snow queen? Or Owl? Seriously???? I have always been a fan of his but I will no longer watch him or anything he is in. My best friend is a black man and even he understands this. The tables have turned. No one alive today put you in slavery and none of you have been slaves. Its not fair that we have to walk on egg shells but you can say offensive things towards us. I cant walk by a black person and say an offensive term but so many times I have I walked by them and been called "cracker" or "snow bunny" or been completely ignored when trying to just talk and ask a question. And I'm not saying everyone is like this but a lot are. And to put it on public tv and have people laughing at it isn't right. If we had white people saying racist terms on public tv it would be an immediate lawsuit. It's stupid. Everyone is suppose to be equal and we should all have the same rights but it doesnt seem that way. And I'm sure someone will say something to call out that 1 person that is racist and I'm sorry for that but not all of us are actually very few of us are. And I understand not everyone has the same privileges but everyone has the ability to try and work hard. I grew up very poor but I worked hard and now have a different life. Just saying my peace. Sorry if I offended you. Well actually I'm not because this show offends me and shouldn't be on the air if we cant be the same. See more Read all reviews
