Kingpin

This show was the best show on tv. Too bad NBC didn't have the guts to keep it on tv. The show was great. The actors did an excellent job. The writers for the show came up with someone to keep you wanting to watch tv. This show is better than Sopranos. Yes it is a little edgy for network tv, but with the time slot that it was on made it ok. For the network tv they cut a lot out of the show that is shown on the DVD set. The DVD set shows how the producers wanted the show to be. Hopefully HBO will pick this show up and air it. Then it will have a network that won't be afraid to show it. For anyone that likes the Sopranos or Godfather will love this show and I highly recommend it. Miguel is cool and smart while Chato takes care of the dirty work.

I was pleasantly surprised at just how much I enjoyed this mini-series. It has the right amount soap, drama & action and stellar acting performances all around. The only down side was 3 weeks went by way to fast, but I will definitely watch again when BRAVO airs the un-edited version in March. Let's hope the powers that be at NBC bring this back as a series.

After years of only finding good dramas on HBO and Showtime, I'm finally watching network TV and enjoying it thanks to this show. The show is both well written and acted. Sheryl Lee is a pleasant surprise - I think I've only seen her before as Laura Palmer on Twin Peaks and had no idea she was so talented. Brian Benben's morally conflicted plastic surgeon is equally intriguing. This is one miniseries that definitely needs to return for a full season!

I was surprised to read on Wikipedia that the show was cancelled just after 6 episodes. I wasn't too excited about watching it but from the first episode I managed to continue all 6 within the entire night.

I'm unhappy about the fact that it was underrated, but I got a good taste and sense of how Mexican cartels think and act just by seeing this show.

Viewers also see how the various operations across the continent is affected by the decisions of one organization; it was very unexpected to see in this show.

However, I hope in the near future they would continue filming this show for a continual and I'm sure it would succeed no matter what.

I agree with one of the other reviewers here - I actually REALLY enjoyed the whole show a lot and thought that Yancey Arias was terrific in his role - I think we will see a lot more from this young man!

But the last episode left me very unsatisfied. If this was SUPPOSED to be a 6 part mini series then the ending was one of the worst I have ever seen - if it's supposed to become a series - well then OK.

I also read yesterday that NBC "cancelled" Kingpin which obviously suggests that it was supposed to go on. I can't imagine why they would have canccelled it since I didn't meet a single person that I know who didn't think that this was an awesome show.
