As I watching this episode, knowing it was the season and most likely series finale, based on a tweet I read from Shehadie, I was wondering whether both him and Bilgic wrote it knowing the show had an uncertain future. This episode breaks from the mould by Joseph and Tia breaking away from each other as he has Tia go
Read moreI found that this episode was symmetrical in a lot of ways. The gang’s scheme for this week comes from Hung to steal the money that’s deposited in shopping trolleys at the mall. Raj tries to tell them the obvious reason why this scheme wouldn’t work but keeps getting interrupted.
Read moreThis episode was a unique one as actually nothing went wrong with the gang’s plan. The episode kicked off with Trans and one of her employees giving Vincent (Robert Mammone) and Vito (JR Laveta) a pedicure.

The episode kicked off with the gang having a garage sale to try and make money, interestingly it was a legitimate way to make some money but
Read moreThis week’s episode pretty much followed the formula it established last week—-Steve instantly comes up with an idea that’s bound to fail, he and his Street Smart gang get to work fast, the failure happens and they’re back at square one. This week’s idea—-youth cream. I felt that the youth cream idea was a more realistic goal and a less
Read moreStreet Smart was described in TV Week‘s previews issue as a “hilarious and entertaining look at a team of bumbling crims who dream of fast cars, attractive women and getting rich quick.” I feel like the pilot lived up to most of this description.
