Great Kills

If you haven't seen Great Kills yet, you're missing out. This series nails the fly-on-the-wall documentary vibe. Each episode takes the whole genre and flips it on its head, showing just how ridiculous it can be, and it's hilarious. Steve Stanulis kills it as the Hitman, bringing some serious energy to the role. James Merendino really crafted something special here. The script is top-notch and the cast just brings it to life even more. The idea of a documentarian following a hitman sounds wild, but trust me, it works and it's super engaging. The violence is raw and intense, keeping you on the edge of your seat. I've been binging it all weekend and I can't wait for more seasons.

That hitman was hilarious and this show has lots of dark humor, just the type of tubi content I like. I miss shows like this. It's fun, suspenseful and thrilling and a solid storyline that kept going till the end of all episodes. I'm usually skipping a lot of shows and can never get past the 5 minutes but this had me hooked right in the first few minutes. Yes it has it's flaws but given the budget and the cost it takes to make these tv shows it's an absolute watch from me. The way the story is told is unique also. It's like a documentary but really it's a crime horror type of series. Genius work, clever filmmaking. Watch and support!

What happens in Staten Island stays in Staten Island!

I love the dark humor throughout this series. It is a great binge. Funny and very suspenseful.

Amazing performances directed by none other than iconic SLC Punk! Director James Merendino, who also plays a key role in the series. Steve Stanulis reminds me of Michael Douglas in Falling Down.

Love all the female actors who play the co-director, the mob-boss the girlfriend and the grandma. Such interesting multi-dimensional female characters. Women of Staten Island are hardcore.

I can't wait to see where the characters are next season. What a great Tubi surprise!

This show is hilarious by itself, but what's interesting and impressive about this series is how much of the humor is never even said but implied. First, the best joke of all is that a hitman would ever even agree to be in a documentary in the first place. There's a good blend of dry British style humor, absurdism, satire and full on next-level meta comedy.

What appear to be "problems" with production value are largely intentional, so don't get turned off until you see how its part of the joke. For instance the sound guy screwing up the shots (he's in almost every frame of the documentary in the first episode). It's almost like a blend of reality TV and the old exploitation films, where campiness is an integral part of the mix. However, to me it leaned a bit too much towards the latter in a few places, there are a few reactions to major events that were underacted in my opinion, and I think the kills could have been a bit more convincing. I'm fairly sure these were also part of the style and artistic direction, but I was personally hoping for something a little more dark.

Definitely one of the best shows available on the non-mainstream streaming platforms, the premise itself was brilliant and I was excited for over a year to finally see it, I'm glad to see it was pulled off very well. Check this one out for sure!

It's a great show. Steve Stanulis is remarkable as are the rest of the cast. Honest performances and on point. Shot well. Story is solid. And it's got lots of laughs.

It's an eight part series with lots of laughs. It's got a pretty cynical view on the media and life in general, which I like.

And I would recommend this to anyone that just wants a quick and fun experience.

I'm not gonna say it's a masterpiece. But it's a masterpiece. These guys nailed it. Seriously. I never write reviews. Congrats to all involved. I hope there's more to come from this group. I really had a good time. I gave it a 10.
