There was no shortage of drama during 'The Game's' season premiere.

The Game’s return after a two-year hiatus did not disappoint. The one-hour premiere wasted no time in stirring up drama and gave its audience a few OMG moments until the very end of the episode. It steadily rose to a climax that hopefully foreshadows the season ahead for the BET show.

The show continued two years after the third season finale, and delved into the drama-filled lives of Melanie, Derwin, Tasha, Malik, Kelly and Jason. To say that a lot has happened to these characters is an understatement.
