Gravesend

Gravesend Season 2 is worst than season 1. First I can see that the review written by Victor C is inflated and fake because actor Victoe Colicchio worked with William Demeo on a movie called Sarah Q. Victor also worked with Joe D'Onofrio and Paul Borghese who appeared in Sarah Q and Gravesend. Let's start with Amazon Prime. The reviews on Amazon can easily be inflated by friends and family. Gravesend season one receives so many bad reviews that the people who gave it a one star rating refuse to watch season two. Gravesend season two specifically charges for each episode so let's think about it for a second if people did not like season one, then the only people who are going to watch season two are family and friends. Second actor Victor Colicchio brags about having 30 years of experience but fails to disclose that he Victor Colicchio has 30 years of Bad experience since he never won an award, and none of his projects are known. Next Actor Victor Colicchio criticizes people who have one liners in their reviews not realizing that the reason they gave one-liners in there, one star reviews is because there's nothing much to say about Gravesend. Now for my review. Gravesend season 1 and 2 is a compilation of plagiarism because it's a vanity project that copies, both script, lines and scenes from shows such as the soprano and for movies like Scarface, Donnie Brasco, good fellas and more. The acting was horrible by William Demeo Who is also the screen, writer, producer and Director. One can only imagine that he holds onto all these roles so he can itemize a payment in the movies budget and pay himself for every role that he holds in these projects that he self produces. Next Gravesend does not capture how mobsters behaved in the 1980's. Having grown up in that area, I could tell you that there were a lot of hard-working people who are not connected with the mob and stayed away from all the neighborhood drama. With this in mind, the only positive reviews are coming from friends, family people connected with the show or people like Victor Colicchio, who worked with all those actors in the film Sarah Q. Just saying.

Being from Brooklyn, being around show business and acting I have to be honest. It's all bad. Where do I start? I looked at the movies credits and it shows Chelsey Vento did the music. Chelsey Vento is a terrible music producer. The music was form the 1990's and they say the show sis from the the 1980's. The overall arc is confusing and the though line is non-existent to the point that you could transpose most of the scenes, and it wouldn't really matter. The dialogue is heavy handed, forced, and devoid of any wit. Story lines start and go nowhere. It's like "The Room " of Mafia shows. Terrible acting by (especially) the main character who I understand wrote and produced it as well. Clichés abound. No storyline or running/theme/plot to speak of. I'm sure the viewers who are intimate and know the streets in Brooklyn will be happy to see their old haunts but for those of us that have never been there, it won't make up for what feels like an amateur production put on by first year cinema students. Who ever invested in this show must need a tax loss. From what I see none of willie demeo's movies ever make any money and they are all horrible. I would give william demeo a Golden Raspberry Award.

I see the posters for this show all around Staten Island. These guys are a laughing stock - an embarrassment to the Italians. It's people like this that give all Italians a bad name. Ones who believe they are celebrities, but naturally, only in their minds. They are uneducated, narcissistic nincompoops who would rather keep pretending that they are actors rather than taking the time to invest in any sort of creative education.

This show is unwatchable. It should've been canceled after the first season, along with the rest of the cast, from ever acting again.

Willie DeMeo would be better off writing a letter of condolence to his audience, than another screen or teleplay. To call this guy an artist is an insult to real artists who actually know what they're doing. Total poser.

This is what you get when a bunch of guys with little education get in a room and BS an investor into putting any sort of money into awful writing like this. Give it to the poor next time fellas - it'll be put to better use!

Possibly the worst acting ever put onto film since Mariah Carey filmed "Glitter". What an embarassing disservice to Italian Americans in Brooklyn. They were all made to look like knuckle dragging idiots with limited vocabulary and the I. Q. of a doorknob. The acting was high school play calibre at best. My wife and I burst out laughing several times at this unintentional comedy. It garnered more laughs than Seinfeld's recent stand up special. This was a true slap in the face to hard working, educated Italians in this country. Acting was horrible. Props (except for the cars) were horrible. An entire one sided conversation with a Saint Anthony statue ? People that let out an audible "ugh" when they are shot ? "Blood" that looks like it came from a paintball gun ? And the script ... horrendous. I could go on and on, but I might vomit. Jeff Bezos should be ashamed of himself for allowing this monstrosity to air. Is David Chase going to sue william demeo for plagiarism? Who are the idiot sponosrs and investors?

I am truly disappointed in such a awful betrayal of Mob Life Seems like nobody got any training terrible cinematography terrible writing awful acting I'm begging you to go get lessons with all the excellent actors in New York you cast wannabes it's worse than a high school play I'm embarrassed for you the good actors don't make up for the Bad actors how could you think that you're good can't you see what you're doing haven't you taken any criticism from the professionals I'm embarrassed for you. YOU DEMEO have no business directing and writing Louie and Paulie..help this guy. He needs alot. I bet you can't tell him nothing. William honestly shouldn't be anywhere near film NO WHERE NEAR A CAMERA !!! Why us he still working.
