Gravesend

Gravesend Season 2 is worst than season 1. First I can see that the review written by Victor C is inflated and fake because actor Victoe Colicchio worked with William Demeo on a movie called Sarah Q. Victor also worked with Joe D'Onofrio and Paul Borghese who appeared in Sarah Q and Gravesend. Let's start with Amazon Prime. The reviews on Amazon can easily be inflated by friends and family. Gravesend season one receives so many bad reviews that the people who gave it a one star rating refuse to watch season two. Gravesend season two specifically charges for each episode so let's think about it for a second if people did not like season one, then the only people who are going to watch season two are family and friends. Second actor Victor Colicchio brags about having 30 years of experience but fails to disclose that he Victor Colicchio has 30 years of Bad experience since he never won an award, and none of his projects are known. Next Actor Victor Colicchio criticizes people who have one liners in their reviews not realizing that the reason they gave one-liners in there, one star reviews is because there's nothing much to say about Gravesend. Now for my review. Gravesend season 1 and 2 is a compilation of plagiarism because it's a vanity project that copies, both script, lines and scenes from shows such as the soprano and for movies like Scarface, Donnie Brasco, good fellas and more. The acting was horrible by William Demeo Who is also the screen, writer, producer and Director. One can only imagine that he holds onto all these roles so he can itemize a payment in the movies budget and pay himself for every role that he holds in these projects that he self produces. Next Gravesend does not capture how mobsters behaved in the 1980's. Having grown up in that area, I could tell you that there were a lot of hard-working people who are not connected with the mob and stayed away from all the neighborhood drama. With this in mind, the only positive reviews are coming from friends, family people connected with the show or people like Victor Colicchio, who worked with all those actors in the film Sarah Q. Just saying.

I was born in 1990 and have never stepped foot in Brooklyn snd I am 100% positive I could have delivered a better final product.

What was that? What did I just watch?

How were multiple people involved in the process of creating this series and not one of them thought this was a bad idea? Is William DeMeo actually proud of this? He can't possibly be that narcissistic can he? He thought he was the best choice to play the lead? Has he watched anything he's been in before?

How is there going to be a season 2? Who seriously watched that and wants more Gravesend?

Who rated this a 10? Why are they not locked up or at the very least some sort of watch list? Who compared this to The Sopranos? Is that a federal crime? Can David Chase sue for libel?

How did it end up on Amazon? How does William DeMeo keep putting films and shows out? Why are the same people in everything that he does? Do they owe him money?

Does Paul Ben-Victor need a paycheck that bad? What is Leo Rossi? Is that the guy from Instagram?

Is there anything more pathetic than being a wannabe gangster? Sadly, there is. Being a wannabe gangster actor. How is that a thing? Ask William DeMeo.

A low budget mafia series based in the 80's. I'm good with that. You do not need expensive props to make a series that based upon the drama of mafia families with a couple of shootings and stabbings every once in a while.

What you do need?

Acting. The ability to make the characters seem believable. Here the actors come across like high school students practicing for a school play about the mafia. Everything is exaggerated to the cliched stereotype of New York Italians. Having some of that is fine, having the majority of the cast acting that way is grating.

Writing. Maybe is not the actors fault, they may be doing the best they can with the material that they are working with. The dialogue does not have a 'natural flow', instead it is a collection of complete sentenced-statements (Jimmy, why don't you go to the refrigerator and get the butter and put it on the table for dinner at 7pm). No one talks that way.

Direction. N/A. You are jumped from scene to scene without correlation, background, or even knowing who the parties are.

Skip.

Who is paying to invest in this. I want their numbers, i can use free money. I want to start a company and use their money to invest because obviously they are mentally ill. Horrible only word sums up everything. Heaven help anyone who turn this on.

Should consider doing a Bowery boys remake. William demeo would make a great Sach and Joseph D onofrio Is perfect as slip Mahoney and Leo Rossi could play Louie Dumbrowsky.
