Great Series


I've already watched the first 4 episodes since TNT has them online and I love it!!! The show's really turned into something very similar to 80s series "Crime Story" with the focus on the cops and the Irish gangsters, but it's already bringing about the rise of the Westies and how the Irish mob changed from how it used to be run. At times it reminds me a bit of "Boardwalk Empire" too when it focuses on the Patton family, the Westies, and Terry's family. The cast is just fantastic and Ed has done such an amazing job writing, directing, and acting in this. Having read his memoir and knowing he's tried to get this made for 20 years just makes me even more happy for him and how it's finally airing and turned out great. I can't wait to watch the rest of the season!!!

How can you even mention this crap and BOARDWALK in the same paragraph? SLAP!

CRIME STORY I can understand because it is now camp, but at the time that was a creative series and quality was much lower for television due to lack of competition and no premium cable (series).
