    Great Kills, Good Times.

    It's a great show. Steve Stanulis is remarkable as are the rest of the cast. Honest performances and on point. Shot well. Story is solid. And it's got lots of laughs.

    It's an eight part series with lots of laughs. It's got a pretty cynical view on the media and life in general, which I like.

    And I would recommend this to anyone that just wants a quick and fun experience.

    I'm not gonna say it's a masterpiece. But it's a masterpiece. These guys nailed it. Seriously. I never write reviews. Congrats to all involved. I hope there's more to come from this group. I really had a good time. I gave it a 10.

    An homage to the quirkiness of Staten Island

    What happens in Staten Island stays in Staten Island!

    I love the dark humor throughout this series. It is a great binge. Funny and very suspenseful.

    Amazing performances directed by none other than iconic SLC Punk! Director James Merendino, who also plays a key role in the series. Steve Stanulis reminds me of Michael Douglas in Falling Down.

    Love all the female actors who play the co-director, the mob-boss the girlfriend and the grandma. Such interesting multi-dimensional female characters. Women of Staten Island are hardcore.

    I can't wait to see where the characters are next season. What a great Tubi surprise!

    A real winner

    Great Kills nails the fly-on-the-wall documentary style while cleverly flipping the genre on its head. Each episode is a sharp, hilarious satire that exposes the absurdities behind true crime filmmaking. Steve Stanulis brings infectious energy to his hitman role, and James Merendino delivers a tightly crafted, standout series. The writing is top-tier, brought to life by an exceptional cast. While the premise-a documentarian following a hitman-sounds outrageous, the execution is surprisingly gripping. The violence is raw and unfiltered, adding to the show's edgy appeal. As I binge through the weekend, I'm already hyped for what's next.

    I think this TV show is really underrated.

    I binged Great Kills this weekend. It was recommended to me on Facebook. I saw that there are some really good reviews, but I don't see the kind of spoilers like I see for something like Succession.

    I understand that there aren't the same recognizable faces in this. But to my eyes the two shows look similar. And I really only recognize Brian Cox from Succession.

    In Great Kills I don't recognize anyone. But what does that matter? It's meant to be a documentary about something so crazy that it should have been ridiculous. Or just bad. And it is really funny. A documentary about a killer who is killing people and the documentary people film him like he's a mechanic or some other normal blue collar guy. In real life these people would be dead.

    It should be terrible. I'm not one for dark humor. And it is suggested as dark humor. But, I found it funny, relatable and it's now my favorite show on TV next to Succession. I love this man who plays the killer and all the people in his life.

    The killing scenes are sometimes hard for me to watch, but then the killer is with his girlfriend or fighting with the documentary people or he's worried about his sister or grandma or his pets and I just love it all.

    It also gets very sad (Be warned).

    I would date this man. That is how well this TV show does to suck you in. And, like Succession, there are no big effects or tricky photography. They just tel it straight.

    So my only question is... why are there no spoilers or recaps on YouTube? Where are the awards? Is it really only because it doesn't have a movie star like Brian Cox? Seriously? He's not even that big of a star.

    If this TV show is not nominated of an Emmy or Golden Globe I will be annoyed. It's just as good as the best.

    Entertaining

    Please, when is season 2 coming? I randomly found this on Tubi and to my surprise it was addictive. I've binge watched this 2 times in the past week and I wanted more. It's not over the top, done with the perfect amount of dark humor and crime/horror which really made it a solid series. Also from someone who has never been to New York and the fact that Great Kills is actually a neighborhood made it that more trippy. Genius filmmaking, other indie filmmakers need to take note - this is how you make a solid series. Good character development and the last episode really is a cliffhanger. Excellent.
