Baldwin Hills: Better the Second Time Around


Did you watch this season of "Baldwin Hills"? Compared to last season, the second season was on Emmy Award-winning status. It's good to see a diverse group of young, ethnic Americans getting along and just trying to survive and be good people. Unfortunately, minorities are rarely portrayed so honestly.

One of the most compelling story lines this season followed Justin. A former bad boy, who found God, a daughter and is trying to be the man he thinks he should be. He's already doing better than most, including his father, who was absent from Justin's life due partly to his drug habit.

In the season finale, Justin confronts his father, and it's the kind of reunion I'm sure some fatherless children dream about. His father expressed his love for Justin, embraced him continually, and asked for his forgiveness. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.

If the show returns for a third season, it will be interesting to see if Justin's father stays committed to his role or whether he'll go back to his dead-beat ways.

Did you watch this season? If so, what did you think? Will Staci keep her baby? Will Gerren and Moriah get back together? Who do you want to see return for a third season?
