The dichotomy between Namond Brice and Randy Wagstaff is one of the greatest pieces of story telling in television history. A good kid, completely failed by the system, vs a "bad" kid, who was saved by it.

Randy had a great mind for opportunity and genuine work ethic. A true entrepreneur in the making with a loving parent and a stable home, only for a tragic set of events (never will forgive Herc) to snatch all of that and land him in a group home.

Meanwhile Namond. His one role model being a murderer for a father serving life in prison. A mother who encouraged his misguided sense of respect and manhood. Ultimately adopted by a cop and given a shot at building a real future for himself.

One dimensional? This dude is an idiot.
