Only reviewing it after the pilot, but it's dark, punchy, very interestingly paced and overall attractive. Camerawork and music are good, some moments where past blends with the present are especially notable because of that like the one In the second half of the pilot, where our protagonist is visiting his mother. It does sound like an interesting story, but it's also nice to watch. Hard to tell how it will develop further, but start is very, very promising. American Gigolo presents very specific, dark vibe that is lasting after you have finished the episode. I will follow this show and even if it loses momentum, I recommend watching the pilot for this very vibe.
I think this is a show that'd be enjoyed better watching as a whole. The premise is pretty intriguing, I'd call it original but it's based off a movie of the same title. Basically you get what you expect from the trailer so it delivers on that end. It also gives off a modern day 80's aesthetic. I still think it could be better though, it's slow paced but when the next part of the story is revealed it doesn't feel worth the wait, almost like it's following a generic flow. Also not entirely invested in Julian which I think could help. Jon Bernthal often plays the same sort of character in all his roles but he's so great at it so no complaints there, and he embodies Julian really well. For everything that he's experienced in his life his character feels shallowly written, it dips it's toes at the deep stuff but never properly explores them, just glimpses and flashbacks of his memories; it'd be much more captivating drama. The premiere episode started off great, couple episodes in now and it needs to deliver on that. It's very promising, always feeling like it's building up to something and I'm hoping it delivers, hopefully not too late because it starts off really dark and promising and it'd be disappointing if halfway across the season it's still is...only just promising.
Update: Done with the show now and Jon Berthal does most of the heavy lifting, I think Lizzie Brocheré deserves mention too. It's a pretty decent show and it doesn't fluctuate so there are no lows but not highs either. The feeling you get at the beginning of the season is what you get through to the end. There are twists end turns, mystery, murder and love stories, but as much as I liked the characters I didn't feel as invested. It's a good watch but I can't think of anything to remember the show by. I loved the ending, not the most mind blowing but it felt believable and it leaves no loose ends or questions. I think it'll be better as a miniseries because of that, the writers could prove me wrong if it's renewed, but I can see season 2 feeling like a drag or just forced.

I think 7 is a decent score overall, there are some good episodes and some fine ones, one thing that's consistent in them all is the performance from Jon Bernthal and Rosie O Donnel who were stand outs for me.
The story is of Julian K who gets out of Prison after 15 years of being wrongly convicted, the secrets of his past come back to haunt him as he contemplates how to move on with his life. We get flashes into his past which show us how he has been put on the path of a gigolo.
Decent show, a little dragged here and there. Dropping to 7 episodes probably would have made it better, a weak enough finale which was disappointing but the whole premise of the show is good and Bernthal was great in it, solid watch I do recommend, 7/10.

The only three things going for this show are the decent cinematography, Jon Bernthal, and Rosie O'Donnell. The plot tries to be intriguing at first, but now that I have watched all of the episodes, I find it rather dull overall and not worthy of its movie predecessor. The two subplots are ultimately unsatisfying. The series does get us through it with the subtle macho charisma of Julian, endearingly played by Jon Bernthal who is a very charismatic actor himself. He is not as pretty as Richard Gere but his stares and head tilts are smoldering to say the least. He is the perfect reincarnation of Julian. Then we have Rosie O'Donnell as the new Sunday, who provides some comic relief to the dialogue. It works for me and I like her performance. All of the other characters unfortunately come off as unlikable. And the use of clip montages gets a little extreme. Overall, this series is a lot of style, not much substance, but you get a little bit of both from Bernthal, and that is enough to recommend it.
Another reviewer thinks they needed an actor that is good looking and women would want to sleep with...obviously a man. Well they found that man. Jon Bernthal is not only a fantastic actor, but he is extremely sexy and I love his looks. I would not turn him down and I doubt many women would.
I saw the original movie with Richard Gere, and in his day he was the right choice for the role. Jon Bernthal is today's right choice for this role. Give it a chance, and you will see what is so obvious to everyone else. This is a hard and gritty film to watch but Jon Bernthal and cast handle it well. Jon is very convincing at the beginning when he says he does not remember anything. I have always found his acting strong and convincing.
