Really wanted to like this but its to fake, the gang jackets look new no wear n tear the dialogue is hap hazard and unrealistic.

Wants to be "Once were Warrior's" but is a sad "Savage" clone.

Just wish there were more of a background of the story they just jump in with lots of action , but no background to the problems . .Characters work well together for the most part . Don't get all the hate on the reviews , to much reality tv ? Hope this series sticks around for a while and we get to know more about the characters .

There's so much to love here. Great cinematography, directing, fresh performances and writing that dares to be bold and big and yes, if you're going to integrate Shakespearian tragedy, at times melodramatic but that's refreshing because this story is King Lear meets MacBeth with some Julius Caesar ( I think that's coming?) overlaid with obvious aroha for a story about a protagonist seeking change and redemption; a gang leader trying to make change for the good in his own mismanaged way. In gangland (Pakeha, Maori, Italian, Russian, Chinese) that's never going to be an easy road to hoe. Hence we have a dramatic premise. This is a universal story given some unique culture specifics that work well - put it this way - does the world need another Italian mafia story? Not in my world but with this one I'm hooked.

PS - to mschuster-550104 - You're an actor, you don't get all the parts, get over it. Dumb move but at least you're honest I guess. Think twice next time e hoa.

So far so good, to me Nz shows are boring but this is good, it's something different and it also has a great story line.

The tensions of blood families that are estranged versus crime/professional families that work together day to day are ratcheted up each episode so far. It's great to see Kiwis on screen being Kiwis.
