And so they all get what they deserve. As a viewer I can not have any sympathy for anyone. These are all criminals fighting their drugwars amongst themselves and every now and then an 'innocent' victim triggers a chain of events and bad choices (especially by the gangsters' love interests) that leaves me, nibbling on my popcorn, thinking: who's next. Not that I care or give a ****. The actors nonetheless are great, by the way. The main problem is just: there is no protagonist. Let bad guys kill bad guys - who cares.
I won't give it away. Watch the entire series even though you get impatient or bored. The ending is worth it. I wonder if there will be another season.
Good job writers.
Good job writers.
...because this is an excellent series, with great performances, realistic action and a good plot. None of your Hollywwood ten minute fight scenes; the violence is short, sharp and decisive. The first season held my attention throughout and I looked forward to very episode, even though I could see the ending coming a mile off. (You could could look at it as the copying of a great ending to a great movie or just a nod to that movie. I wasn't sure about season two, but warned to it after the first couple of episodes. I'm not fond of endings that leave parts of the story hanging for next season, but in this case I'll forgive them because it was, otherwise, the perfect finale to the main plot line.
It's intense, gritty, stylish, and cleverly written. There's a whole crew of fresh faces, and a few very welcome familiar ones. Expertly done!!
