Animal Kingdom

I saw a TikTok about this show a few months ago and I'm a huge Scott Speedman fan, so I thought I'd check it out. Well, I kind of didn't stop watching. I couldn't stop! The storylines are written so well, every single actor is incredible and it has a really good ending. Everyone I know are watching other shows and I've been telling everybody to watch THIS show b/c it will not disappoint. I'll probably re-watch the whole thing again because otherwise I can't get my Cody family shenanigans fix. Ha! J ended up being my favorite though. I loved the changes through everyone's characters though, too.

I think this is one of the best show I ever watched.

After the final, I feel very nostalgic, and the pilot is even more powerfull if you see it again right now. Even the flashbacks, which may have been boring sometimes, make sense with the ending.

Very great writing, characters... the action scenes are sometimes not very realistic and a little easy but the story is so good and the actor playing so great that this is not relevant.

I really feels like watching another Point Break from 1991 but in a looong, very detailled version. And even darker but with the same adrenaline.

We really care about the Cody's family !

I remember watching Fin Cole since his days on Peaky Blinders and while he physically looks the same, he certainly shows his skills throughout this show. It's hard to work out what he actually feels about his family but the hatred at times shines through, especially knowing they lived a mile away and didn't do anything to save his Mum. Smurf cast her out of the family and J has never forgotten that. As the show moves through the seasons and you become more involved in the show and characters, I found myself liking Pope more and more. At first he seemed really creepy, especially standing over J's girlfriend in the bedroom but the more you learn about Pope, the more you feel for him.

I REALLY like this show :)

This show starts out as a trashy, glossy, action-packed and very, very watchable entertainment. Successful bank heists are celebrated with a sky-dive, for no other reason than to have a very cool skydiving sequence set to pumping music.

The genius of this show is that it very, very gradually starts to deepen, uncovering layers to the main characters and slowly revealing their depths and complexities. It does this so gradually that you don't even realise it until realise you're watching some of the most beautifully-drawn characters on TV for a long time.

It then becomes as much a character- study, and a character-driven drama - as it is an action-packed heist show. The issues, plotlines and brilliant twists and turns are consistently unpredictable and original.

Some of the heists stretch credulity - as action sequences often do, but the whole thing is so skillfully-woven that it doesn't matter - you happily buy into the lack of believability in the heist/action sequences, because they're so well integrated into the brilliant character studies and first-class storytelling.

The casting is perfect - everyone is bringing their A-game but Shawn Hatosy is astonishing and Ellen Barkin is hitting a career best.

It's a Breaking Bad-level achievement, possibly exceeding it at times. One that flew under the radar.

One of the best shows I've ever seen. I loved Ozark, Breaking Bad, Better call Saul, Nurse Jackie, Stranger Things, OiTNB but Animal Kingdom is Phenomenal!!!!! All 6 seasons- the show gets better and better as the seasons go on and the cast is fantastic!!!!!! I binged watched all 6 seasons and I am so sad that I can't watch anymore!!! It was THAT good. I mean you have to watch the whole series to feel it. If you haven't seen it- you don't know what you're missing. It is absolutely a masterpiece- it keeps you wanting to watch more and more and keeps you on the edge of your seat. 5 stars. No wonder it has 6 successful seasons!
