Finally got around to this and finished it off really quickly, which says something about it's entertainment value. I think the show makes for a better binge than weekly watch, but to each their own on that.

If you like Ray Donovan you will like this.

Gaso, unsure if you posted this knowing the history of the series, but this is exactly what it began as; a prequel to Ray Donovan. "The Donovans" was the original title of it when Ronan Bennett was almost solely responsible... But then Guy Ritchie got involved... then Jez Butterworth got involved... & it turned into...

A highly entertaining mess in my opinion.

Ultimately, "A highly entertaining mess" near perfectly sums it up. As much as I enjoyed it (because it's just so darn entertaining), I think I've preferred a stack of mostly straighter gangster shows I've seen of late; 'Kin' and even 'This City Is Ours' which played out at basically the same time as this to very little fanfare.

If you're looking for the tonal mix from this series done better, then I prefer Ritchie's 'The Gentlemen' from last year, and the classic series 'Love/Hate' is still the at the top of the tree, for mine.

Speaking of 'Kin', what a waste Emmett J Scanlan was in this as Paul. Such a nothing character that surely plays a larger role in Season 2.
