Take a break from the ‘Game of Thrones’ frenzy and instead show some love for a somewhat overlooked TBS show called ‘The Last O.G.’ It stars Tracy Morgan in his first regular television role since his serious car accident of a few years ago. Morgan plays a Brooklyn drug dealer who took the fall for a colleague and served 15 years in prison. The show follows him as he tries to pick up his life again on his now very different, very gentrified, home turf, and tries to reunite with his baby mama, played by Tiffany Haddish.
