Review

And they teamed up with Scorsese and Buscemi.

I really liked the pilot but it was the 2nd episode that really hooked me up!! The characters are so well written filled with humanity and contradictions.

Most of the dramatic situations are pretty conventional but as someone once said "it is better to start with a cliché than to end with it".

I have no doubt the show will end up being a freshening experience for the crime genre fans.

And no Nukcy Thompson is not Tony Soprano. This is not a family drama.

This is something else and thank god they aren't repeating the Sopranos formula but going in a different direction which I'm sure give great results )
