L'ultimo boss di Kings Cross

Yes it's good, works for where and when it was.

Still feels like it's not quite all there.

As there is no mention of Ibrahims driving days/nights with- George David Freeman (22 January 1935 - 20 March 1990) was a Sydney bookmaker, racing identity and illegal casino operator.

He was linked to the Sydney drug trade during the 1970s and 1980s, was named in several Royal Commissions into organised crime and had links with American crime figures. Freeman served several prison terms for theft between 1951 and 1968 but was never brought to trial for any of his later alleged crimes, receiving only monetary fines for SP bookmaking in the mid-1980s. Freeman survived a murder attempt in 1979, was married twice, published an autobiography and died in 1990 of heart failure related to asthma and pethidine addiction.

You should watch this with a salt shaker by your side so you can take every sign involving John with a grain of salt. It turns into a piss take fantasy where were expected to root for the man who still contributed to the Australian criminal world.

The actors involved with the series do deserve some credit especially Tim Roth as Ezra Shipman and Claude Jabbour as Sam Ibrahim both have a massive screen presence and every scene is enjoyable to watch with them involved.

All in all its an average crime series marred by the involvment of its subject in the production and who most likely offered fiscal backing for a cleaner portrayal. It really characterizes the corruption present in Australia.

Last King of the Cross is Australian tv at its finest. Highly engaging from the first episode. Lincoln Younes and Claude Jabbour put on a spectacular performance. The original underbelly portrayal; the last mile, was in my opinion quite average and underwhelming. I had some hesitations in the lead up to this new and improved series, but it definitely lives up to the hype. The old Kings Cross is brought to life on screen, with the coca-cola signage invoking nostalgia. The first couple of episodes set the scene quite well and the 3rd episode captured my attention making me want more. Can't wait for the next episode and the rest of the series.

Decent cast each playing a personality of a real person in most cases. They look and sound just like the real people.

Cleary some of the details are fabricated or dramatised.

For an Australian based TV series this is world class.

Don't listen to the haters. Watch a couple of episodes, don't treat it like a documentary and you will enjoy it too.

I started watching with high hopes, yet low expectations. After episode 1, I was pleasantly surprised. I nearly didn't watch the show due to the past few Aussie crime biographies. In my opinion were poorly made and lacked intrigue.

The violence and stories behind it are unexpected for a free to air TV show, yet executed well with me wanting more at the end of each episode.

The quality of actors including " Matt Nable", Callum Mulvey", "Justin Rosniak" and "tim Roth (among others), was a nice surprise, not knowing anything about the show before watching it tonight.

8 stars I feel this could have easily been made into a seasonal tv series, yet I'm looking forward to the final episodes.

This is my first ever review on any show or movie. I think that shows how much of an impact this show has had on me. Having lived some similar experiences throughout my life..
