New Sheirf in Town .... Mob City Season One Thread ...

[Super Cheech]

it was good..not great

 

[bangbreh]

enough to keep you interested i imagine, that's what matters after 2 eps and all......

i think some dudes are trippin in here.
this character that bernal is playing is playing both sides of the fence.
the flash back scenes saying where the dudes came from, i.e. the movie theatre baseball scene was cool. as well as the very opening scene w/meyer, bugsy and sig. whom i've never heard of. i assume something fictional since everything noted from that era was siegel, lansky and luciano.
there was a thread a while back talking about the "anti-hero" in tony soprano and walter white.....
we may have one here, let's hope it holds on.

He's playing both sides, but what's his end game? What's in it for him? Shane's character is a part of what's turning me off to this show. How you gonna decide to off a guy and not take 50k? 50k was like 5 mil back then. So you're trying to be a "good" cop? You shot an innocent dude in the back. It seems he's trying to protect that chick, so if his endgame is all for p*ssy then


I'ma go ahead and finish this off since it's only 4 eps total (cut into 2 2-hour parts), but I don't think this is gonna be anything special. The only characters that have actual potential are the blonde haired cop and the dude from Lost/Prison Break. Shane's character shows no potential for Soprano/Heisenberg levels of GOATness.

I'ma go ahead and give you this neg now.

I loved the jazz 1940s jazz music, but a show about mobsters, starring Robert Knepper shouldn't put me to sleep twice

 

[kingdarius]

Isn't only for three weeks?

yea only 6 eps.....

I thought it was alright until they insinuate that grew up in LA when he was born in Brooklyn. Simon Pegg was pretty good, tho.

This. I see why this was rushed with 2 episodes a night right in the middle of christmas. The two episodes were very boring with no interesting characters or story(the twists were predictable ). The thing Darabont is trying to style this show similar to BE where you have real life characters(siegel, cohen, parker) on the outside to boost the fictional ones. But Bernthal sucks. His character is dull and everything is shrouded in mystery. Thats one of the issues I had with Low Winter Sun. Everyone knows everything about the characters except the actual audience watching. It becomes difficult to reverse engineer from that and ppl just lose interest quickly. It just seems like the writing and pacing is slow for the excuse of noir and smooth, ambiant jazz music every 12 secs. I will watch the next episode but my expectations will be lowered.

It was just ok, some much shyt was drawn out. Alot of the scenes and dialouge could of been edited out, guess they trying to fill 2 hours. My thing is none of the characters are really likeable for the most part. Thats what people love about mob guys is they are likable pyschopaths with swag, these guys were swagless. Simon Peg was dope, dude from Walking Dead and Edward Burns were good. I think maybe they just messed up on some of the casting I guess.

 

[Jimmy ValenTime]

it was a little slow i fast forward some of the jazz scenes


I think the guy who made the show was being a little ironic killling the guy from shawn of the dead....



At shane still killing guys over pu.ssy

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Was ok. I dont i just kept thinking id rather be watching be.

 

[Jimmy ValenTime]

half the cast of walking dead and half from heroes...

They got all people i like as actors just got a do a little more with the premiss..

throwing out negs like a scorned woman
the reasoning is funny to me.
i don't think it's anything special but has the chance to be.
this reminded me of the shield's first episode's ending. never saw it coming....

 

[MenacingMonk]

I forgot this show was on today.

I guess no one gave a fukk about it.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Gonna grab that link now off solarmovie

 

[pickles]

fukk y'all nikkas, this show is good. Why is it a miniseries though or whatever the fukk these 6 episodes are called? It has potential to be really great. I guess next week is the last episodes.
