As with Get Out, from The Last O.G. executive producer Jordan Peele, The Last O.G. blends genres to create a hypnotic mood with social commentary as subtext.
The half of The Last O.G. that’s a comedy comes from Tray being a dopey, fish-out-of-water old-school street hustler who returns from a bid to find the world is different.
Tray’s bad dream pins The Last O.G. to a specific type of American nightmare.
