I know I'm asking this on a board where this kind of show is not going to go over well, an all female lead, but I think it's a very interesting premise and I haven't seen a series like this before. Anyway I'm enjoying it.
I started it. It was okay, but not worth adding to my already too long list of things to watch. The wife likes it more than I do so I sometimes watch it when she has it on the television.
I think the best of this show was yet to come, honestly. The relationship of that gang leader (Rio) and Christina Hendricks (Beth). I hope they just don't turn it into a love infauation thing. I'd like to see Christina Hendricks actually become a higher Crime Boss.
What is that supposed to mean? I'm offended. You're projecting your insecurities on to the board, @what. A lot of avid TV watchers on the board, you don't have to feel ashamed because you enjoy something out of the norm. There is a thread about "My Crazy Ex Girlfriend", a show about a woman who sings about her unrequited love for the man she is stalking for goodness sake. Any who, I caught one episode a while back, It was much better than I thought it was going to be. I don't know why I thought it was supposed to be funnier, much darker than I anticipated. I haven't caught any other episodes though. I really like the actor who plays Rio; he was on "Graceland" one of my favorite shows that got canceled.
I've seen some clips here and there. Story and acting could be a lot better from whatever I could tell, but I give 5 stars out of 5 on the action and camera angles. PG-13 forum?
I have watched a couple of minutes, will get back to it. Lots of shows to keep an eye on this spring/summer.
Watch it with the wife, it's a passable show. Helps that Hendricks is the lead but it feels like a kids version of breaking bad....
I'd compare it more to weeds, but again this is a network show, so it could never be breakin bad even if it wanted to. Network TV is always going to be more sanitized
I watch it with my wife for a couple of reasons.* It has it's moments. Does seem like a watered down version of Breaking Bad, although they called someone a "dick" in the last episode (didn't know that was allowed on network TV?) I'm interested to see where they're going to go with this lady that they are having to pay off every month. Will she be killed or end up joining the crime ring? * 1. Christina Hendricks's left breast 2. Christina Hendricks's right breast
I do enjoy the girl in it from arrested development & parenthood very much, and can tolerate the black lady from parks & rec and the red head from mad men, but this show is absolutely horrible.
