Decoded: @peacock Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist.


This series is one that caught me off guard.

It has served as a redemption arc to the acting career of @kevinhart4real backed by a stellar supporting cast.


This story isn't one that is limited to one thread of a larger narrative but creates more layers the further in we go while consistently developing each layer with subtle nods to the layers developed.


The realities of the history tied into it are used in clever reinterpretations of the truth that lies behind it of the racial realities of the times pushes this narrative forward in wildly exciting and unexpected ways.

I wasn't waiting for a major twist at the end because each beat brought with it twists and turns that made me question everything i thought I knew about this stacked roster of well-developed and complex characters.


There is no doubt in my mind that this series will see itself through and drive the industry forward with bold and structured storytelling that never once feels a need to explain itself or create a sense of being more than what it is.


As a first-generation immigrant of color in Georgia, there is so much that has changed and so much that has stayed the same and this show breaks the patterns of those that came before it while paying homage to one of the greatest eras in the development of Blackness as a mindset and a source of empowerment in these United States.


@samuelljackson @tarajiphenson @doncheadle and @theterrencehoward lead with power and impact in a show so compelling and rewarding that each episode feels like an act of luxurious indulgence.


Yours faithfully,

Qavah.
