Giancarlo Esposito is excellent as usual. I disregard the poor ratings for series and movies with a predominant african american cast. I love movie setting in the new orleans area.

Well, what can I say? I watched all six episodes back-to-back and was engrossed throughout. The casting was solid, with interesting characters. It had elements reminiscent of 'Ozark', 'Queen of the South', 'Banshee', and 'Nobody'. Worth a binge-watch if you're into crime drama thrillers. Fast-paced and straight into the narrative.

If you're a film junkie like myself then you'll appreciate the time and effort that Danny Brocklehurst, Sunu Gonera, Theo Travers and everyone else put in to make this happen.

I enjoyed it. Not my place to say where it could have been improved. It is what it is.

Thank you.

A soporific "limited" series where you just "woke up" from cars' engine roars, chases, gun shot bangs and wounds. Besides the good acting and semi-thrilling atmosphere it has nothing to offer, the worst and the most detrimental to the show was his family and any children in it. They sucked up any thrill, drama and crime soap-opera that you got involved with in its 6 tiny episodes.

Giancarlo Esposito performed at his usual peak with gray hairs and minuscule screenplay plots this time, but overall the series is a waste with too little episodes.

Awesome Production value and engaging scenes its got that NOBODY and EQUALiZER ambiant feel look. Smooth script theatrical score with grest cinematog ... The obb reminds or ringfs me that criminal minds early days . Every episode is dramatic the establishment of seqence is legitimately so natural and its like you are party of every angle of the story. POV is brought to new charaters and pivoting back to PARiSH .

Director did a great job telling the story ... a slow organic one that can grow overtime with so much potential. A Serious show for serious veiwers only.

A lot of spinoffs can come out of this. For now enjoying this one and looking forward to every episode. Keep up the good tracks Scenes and cliffhanging scenes.

I came across this six-part mini-series on a set of DVDs that my public library just added. On the surface it has several good things going for it. First I love New Orleans, I have been there many times, my wife grew up there, I used to live in a community just a few miles west of New Orleans. It is filmed there, I recognize the locations.

Plus I am big fans of two of the actors, the rest I don't know. Giancarlo Esposito was wonderful as Gus Fring in "Breaking Bad" which owes a lot of its popularity to his role. Here he plays the lead character, a driver, named 'Gray' Parish. The other is Skeet Ulrich as Colin.

The premise is thin, Gray and his wife discuss their lack of finances and fear they will lose their New Orleans home. She is suggesting they look at a less expensive, 2000-sq-ft home in Covington, just across the lake north of New Orleans. So he decides to do a driving job for some South African gangsters. There is a short chase scene on foot and they encounter a parade, an all too common cliche' for New Orleans locations.

After one episode I don't know how much more I will continue with. While the locations and cinematography are bonuses, the script and action don't have much subtlety. The story doesn't flow very well and the script is plain vanilla. With so many competing choices I don't know if I will spend the rest of the time to watch it all.

I will update my review if I do.

Update: I watched the second episode then gave up. Nothing but a bunch of bad people doing bad things and frankly not very interesting bad things. So I quit.
