Got through it in a couple days. It is intriguing enough. If you compare everything to your favorite family goes bad shows then it ranks somewhere in the middle. It's not going to blow anyone away but it has good actors and it is worth it just for Maria Bello who plays the matriarch. She has come a long way from Coyote Ugly but I have enjoyed her in the last few projects i have seen her in. The story has a few good twists and I do hope it has a second season. This is not really a show that it going to wow anyone but it is an easy watch and most of the characters are interesting enough and the ending does leave you wanting more. I would put it somewhere between a 6 and 8 depending on your mood and proclivity for dysfunctional criminal families.

It has Ozarks and animal kingdom vibes, coastal town with a lot of family drama mixed with crime and drugs. With the writer of Dawsons creek behind it you get a lot of romances and love triangles which I feel does kind of water it down but I thought it did well for what it was. You had mysteries surrounding the family and the main cast which led to a lot of family turmoil but where it shined was when they had to make decisions that could topple there family legacy. The season flew by with 8 episodes and left it open for a lot of possibilities. It's not a perfect series but gives you enough to stay committed to it. Overall I give it 7 out of 10.

Alright, so The Waterfront was actually pretty decent. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece, but it kept me interested enough to binge through the whole thing. The story is solid - nothing crazy original, but it's got that classic crime drama vibe that's just kinda satisfying to watch.

The ending? Not gonna lie, it didn't blow my mind, but it tied things up nicely without feeling rushed or annoying. You get some closure on the main plot, and a few loose ends left to keep you thinking. I like that balance.

The vibe reminds me a bit of Boardwalk Empire or Peaky Blinders - moody, gritty, with a lot of tension and some slick cinematography. Definitely not a happy-go-lucky show, so if you want light stuff, skip it. But if you're into slow-burning crime drama with some cool character moments, it's your jam. Actors did their thing, no huge Hollywood names, but everyone felt natural and believable. The lead was especially good at playing that tough but kinda broken dude. No overacting or cheesy lines, which I appreciated.

Would I recommend it? Yeah, if you like crime dramas and want something chill to watch. It's not the best thing ever, but it's solid and entertaining. Just don't expect some groundbreaking story or crazy plot twists.

So yeah, my personal score would be around a 7/10. Worth a watch, but not something I'd rave about for weeks.

I've been looking forward to The Waterfront ever since I first saw the trailer for this. I started watching this with my brother the day it came out and binged all 8 episodes in a day. I know but I've been sick and had nothing else to do. I loved it. The Waterfront is based off a true story about the Buckley family and their crumbling North Carolina fishing empire. Their on the verge of losing everything and to regain control of their empire they have to get back into transporting drugs and dealing with some very dangerous people. The entire cast is amazing, led by the always good Holt McCallany. He's good in just about everything he does but Jake Weary (Animal Kingdom), Melissa Benoist (Supergirl) and Danielle Campbell (Supernatural) all give star turning performances that will definitely lead to bigger things for all of them. I can't recommend this series enough.

The Waterfront is every bit as good as I had hoped for. I admit I watch a lot of tv shows but I try to only watch the really good ones. The Waterfront is one of those. I'm a big fan of crime dramas and there are lot to choose from but this one is definitely worth your time. It has the feel of a mix between Ozark, Animal Kingdom and Bloodline. While it's not as good as those 3 shows it's still pretty darn good. The cast is what makes this show so good...Holt McCallany, Jake Weary, Danielle Campbell, Topher Grace, Humberly González and Maria Bello all shine and give some of the best performances of their careers. Bottom line is this show will keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting more.
