- TriviaDonald Glover had two conditions with FX for his writing room: that the entire group of writers be African-American and he didn't want an on-set office in favor of having the writers meet at his house and work on material there. FX immediately told Glover they were fine with both ideas.

Featured review
Paper Boi will be the new Obama!.. What?
Its inclination to not reveal everything from the start and give us clues on how the relationships work in that environment is simply clever. For it engages us, the viewers in the show more!..
Its simplicity in showing the daily life of a group of "black people" is also powerful enough as well as its dialogues...
It has a darker comedy in it that we see it really is representing a fraction of life.
We know Donald Glover from the show called Community and we are sure of his ability to play both drama and comedy. Therefore he should be examined carefully throughout the show. We believe in you Mr. Gambino as you are a rapper like Paper Boi!..
We, in our community / where I come from, do not accept any means to bring someone to the fore based on their ethnicity or race... But there is a reality here in this show...
The slave trading starts in 15th century onward until 19th century, and the so-called "negro" people (pardon my French) are made to feel like a living creature that's of the lesser human category.
So, later on after Darwin's theory of evolution, the enslaved "black" people are made to feel like a chain between the apes and the men...
And the democratic human rights movements for the black lives under the leadership of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and likes of them, made a huge change in black people's mind towards themselves to the point that they started to live more like "normal people" and they are forced to embrace the very things that separate them from "white people."
Along the way they started to be successful at things and this made them feel more confident and alive... Things like music...
This here is going to talk of a success story about a group of black people who will rise in the music business behind their star "Paper Boi". And the first episode promises us many things.
I give this first one a "8,7." Yep!..
P.S.: The way they blue-pencil the violence-related scenes is really great!.. We should not show every abnormal thing that happens!.. Bravo!
"As for the ship, it belonged to certain poor men, who are working upon the sea; and I wished to damage it, for behind them there was a king who was seizing every ship by brutal force." (The Gracious Koran, Chapter: 18, Verse: 79)
Upon this we say: You were always alienated, yeah, dear "black people." But you will achieve great things for sure!.. You have got to keep your boat damaged!..
