‘The Last O.G.‘ is a television series that captures change aptly. Change is not only a law of nature but the only constant. The Tracy Morgan starring television series chronicles the experiences of an ex-con named Tray, who gets released from prison after fifteen years. The first thing that Tray notices is how Brooklyn has been gentrified. Instead of glorifying the gentrification or relying on stereotypical hipster jokes, ‘The Last O.G.’ successfully manages to document the complexities of gentrification. And this is not just something that is depicted in the background. This is what Morgan told Vanity Fair: “The Last O.G. isn’t a show about the community. It’s a show starring the community.”
