A Guerra das Gangues

Very hard to put Mexican characters on TV and make them believable ... Even better that Curtis C is part of the cast (of course he's not real :) but rocks his role) .. Personally I watch TV and/or read a book to get away from real life so if there are inconsistencies and as long as they are not TOO far off the mark then it's OK ... This is a good show so far .. Lots of action, different character types, villains ... Yea it pretty much has it all .... 'Ryan' is trying to keep his 'familia' happy which makes him unhappy .. He second guesses himself which also leads to trouble .. He's trying to balance both sides of the law and it's a bumpy road.... Try it out I don't think you'll be disappointed .

This was a great show I don't know why Fox canceled this series, Season 1 was addicting and a great binge watch, If you haven't seen this please don't hesitate!!

The show in one word (promising), it has a little bit of (The Departed) and (The Shield). Also there are angles to the story other than the main one which is double agent for mob and the police. The action does not take over the drama and that is very good from famous action writer. The acting is good from the police squad and the gang especially the paralyze character. Finally the reason for why I watch this show is because of its story that reminds me of martin Scorsese magnificent piece of art The Departed, and the hot beautiful actress Shantel VanSanten just look at the poster and you will know what I mean.

Gang Related offers tremendous promise; well cast, stylistic in design, emotional and character driven, by the second episode, I was already hooked. The show takes place in Los Angeles, and follows Ryan Lopez, an esteemed detective of a gang task force, struggling to distance himself from his past (and current) connections to a notorious Latino gang. Ryan's story feels very well-crafted, and it's easy to sympathize with his position, being a double agent who truly wants to do the right thing. As a devoted fan of Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad (the later of which is similar in story-line), I think Gang Related could become one of the more stimulating, edgier shows on the Fox network. Some viewers complain about the lack of vulgar language coming from the gang members. I think this is purely idiotic. Yes, we know networks are limited in certain ways, but slighting a show based on lack of profanity says more about the viewer than it does the creators. The show also has a great soundtrack, and the cinematography and set-design is fantastic. But above all, there is a great story to be told, so if you're into that kind of thing, you know, TV shows that actually tell stories and delve into dimensional characters, then give Gang Related a chance.

I understand this is a pilot. So I am still going to give it a chance. I am 20 minutes into it right now and I want to turn it off. All that network money and you can't get RZA to lose his Shaolin accent? Nortenos in LA? Give me a break. This show has so much potential but the casting and plot is beyond stupid. At least Kurt Sutter attempts to be some what accurate in California Gang politics. The creator of this show must be a real douche bag in real life. This is the first time I have ever sensed it from watching a show. All you are doing is glamorizing criminal behavior in a bullshit fantasy way.

I wonder if Cliff Curtis longs for the day he can play a Polynesian shot caller, instead of always being casted as a Cartel or Mexican Gang leader. Regardless, the show has potential. FOX needs to step it up and gut the writers and maybe the creator of the show. Put somebody who knows what he is doing in charge.

5/30 Update: I guess I spoke too soon. That last episode was entertaining. I guess I wasn't stoned enough when I watched the pilot. I think this show will evolve into something good. Hopefully "Shield" level. Cliff Curtis is a very convincing shot caller. Upgraded from 3 to 6 stars.

6/6 Last update: When I am wrong, I am wrong. Show is getting better with each episode. Cliff Curtis is a bad mofo. Upgrading this to 8.
