Stories about good individuals who fall on hard times and turn to crime to solve their problems have fascinated audiences for years. While Go Ahead, Brother will not be comparable to Breaking Bad; it should be one crime drama you must consider adding to your watch list.
A police officer for an elite tactical unit is forced to leave after suffering a panic attack during a gang-related bust. Life gets even worse when the officer discovers his father has taken his own life and left behind a mountain of gambling debt.
