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.

I binged Great Kills this weekend. It was recommended to me on Facebook. I saw that there are some really good reviews, but I don't see the kind of spoilers like I see for something like Succession.

I understand that there aren't the same recognizable faces in this. But to my eyes the two shows look similar. And I really only recognize Brian Cox from Succession.

In Great Kills I don't recognize anyone. But what does that matter? It's meant to be a documentary about something so crazy that it should have been ridiculous. Or just bad. And it is really funny. A documentary about a killer who is killing people and the documentary people film him like he's a mechanic or some other normal blue collar guy. In real life these people would be dead.

It should be terrible. I'm not one for dark humor. And it is suggested as dark humor. But, I found it funny, relatable and it's now my favorite show on TV next to Succession. I love this man who plays the killer and all the people in his life.

The killing scenes are sometimes hard for me to watch, but then the killer is with his girlfriend or fighting with the documentary people or he's worried about his sister or grandma or his pets and I just love it all.

It also gets very sad (Be warned).

I would date this man. That is how well this TV show does to suck you in. And, like Succession, there are no big effects or tricky photography. They just tel it straight.

So my only question is... why are there no spoilers or recaps on YouTube? Where are the awards? Is it really only because it doesn't have a movie star like Brian Cox? Seriously? He's not even that big of a star.

If this TV show is not nominated of an Emmy or Golden Globe I will be annoyed. It's just as good as the best.

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.

Great Kills nails the fly-on-the-wall documentary style while cleverly flipping the genre on its head. Each episode is a sharp, hilarious satire that exposes the absurdities behind true crime filmmaking. Steve Stanulis brings infectious energy to his hitman role, and James Merendino delivers a tightly crafted, standout series. The writing is top-tier, brought to life by an exceptional cast. While the premise-a documentarian following a hitman-sounds outrageous, the execution is surprisingly gripping. The violence is raw and unfiltered, adding to the show's edgy appeal. As I binge through the weekend, I'm already hyped for what's next.

Someone Recommended me this show. I never heard of Tubi. It was free, so I watched Great Kills. It's a fake documentary like Trailer Park Boys I guess, but it's more realistic than most real documentaries. The main guy is badass and the whole thing is hysterical. But I like dark humor so the fact that it wasn't sappy compared to most things I see was lit. So yeah. I thought it was a tight show and I'm glad I watched it. Gonna watch the first episode or two with some friends on Sunday. Some boyz gotz to check this out.

Also, I thought Great Kills was a made up place. But it's real. You learn something new everyday.
