Well what a pleasant surprise to find an outright excellent crime movie based loosely on a team of horrendous mass murdering serial killers who contracted to (and were part of) the mafia decades ago.
I don't understand the average reviews here unless of course they simply skimmed it or weren't aware of the backstory. To call this a cliche is ridiculous - these events really happened (except for the disgruntled cop) and last I looked, life, reality, is not a cliche.
I've been a member of IMDB for 8 years but only done a handfull of reviews, I'm pretty lazy & otherwise busy so only pop out when the occasion really demands - like here.
The standard of acting here is sky high. Emile is great, but watch the De Meo character, Lucy Hale in a few scenes which she steals as the ice cold killers' moll, James Russo as the stone killer elder mobster and especially the Senter character. A nest of serial killer vipers ably portrayed and I had the greatest pleasure in watching this movie. Real life is never a cliche...

Just watched Episode 1 and thoroughly liked it. It's slick, fast, really well acted, full of joyful armed services corruption and cynicism and in my view, true to life. Did I mention that it's really funny as well?
I remember MASH when I was young which was a sitcom based very loosely on the Korean War - it ran for 11 seasons but the Korean War ran for only 3 years. No one complained that while the Korean War was fought in the 1950's, the entire feel of MASH was contemporary with the 1970's. So what? And that's what I say to those nitpicking reviewers who miss the entire point of this series - it's intended to be analogous to MASH (as far as I can see from one episode) and it's doing a good job of that, transplanted into the 2020's.
Give it a bit of latitude and you won't be disappointed. Have a toke while you're watching (or pretend you are enjoying some of the Afghan hash featured in the episode) and you definitely won't be disappointed.
