Matt Roush says...
The acclaimed coming-of-age drama takes a significant jump into the future—or present, as the case may be—as the second season focuses on David Young (now played by Kwame Patterson) as an adult. He’s still haunted by his younger self (Akili McDowell), whose troubled childhood in the Florida projects continues to play out in flashbacks. Night sweats and disturbing visions suggest that David isn’t entirely over his adolescent traumas, and his job as a successful Miami developer creates more inner tension when his latest project promises to change his former neighborhood forever.
