Starz' "BMF" is back for Season 2 — we'll be watching

• Demetrius Flenory Jr., 22, plays his own real-life father, who is currently incarcerated.

Catch up quick (spoiler alert!): At this point in the series, siblings Meech and Terry are drifting apart. Meech plans to grow the 50 Boyz into a nationwide empire he calls the "Black Mafia Family" in the season premiere, while Terry — with a new baby and girlfriend — ditches his old life of crime to help his dad start a car service company.

• B-Mickie replaces Terry as Meech's right hand and Detective Bryant indicates his new goal is bringing down Meech.
• Lamar, the show's main antagonist who we thought died during the Season 1 finale, wakes up from a coma in his hospital bed during the final scene of the first episode.

💭 Quick take: "BMF" teeters between showcasing key landmarks and Detroit's history organically and passing references to check a box that sometimes feels forced.

• Last week's premiere episode featured a basketball game at St. Cecilia's between the "Brusters" and "Parkside Playas," a nod to the Brewster-Douglass and Village at Parkside housing projects.
• Later in the episode, a new detective from Southfield briefly mentions that her family and other Asian people in the city were being displaced to the Cass Corridor — sounding like it was lifted off our Wikipedia page.

What's next: The second episode of Season 2 is available on Starz.

• I'll offer my thoughts on new episodes here each week.
