Gang Related

I understand this is a pilot. So I am still going to give it a chance. I am 20 minutes into it right now and I want to turn it off. All that network money and you can't get RZA to lose his Shaolin accent? Nortenos in LA? Give me a break. This show has so much potential but the casting and plot is beyond stupid. At least Kurt Sutter attempts to be some what accurate in California Gang politics. The creator of this show must be a real douche bag in real life. This is the first time I have ever sensed it from watching a show. All you are doing is glamorizing criminal behavior in a bullshit fantasy way.

I wonder if Cliff Curtis longs for the day he can play a Polynesian shot caller, instead of always being casted as a Cartel or Mexican Gang leader. Regardless, the show has potential. FOX needs to step it up and gut the writers and maybe the creator of the show. Put somebody who knows what he is doing in charge.

5/30 Update: I guess I spoke too soon. That last episode was entertaining. I guess I wasn't stoned enough when I watched the pilot. I think this show will evolve into something good. Hopefully "Shield" level. Cliff Curtis is a very convincing shot caller. Upgraded from 3 to 6 stars.

6/6 Last update: When I am wrong, I am wrong. Show is getting better with each episode. Cliff Curtis is a bad mofo. Upgrading this to 8.

This was a great show I don't know why Fox canceled this series, Season 1 was addicting and a great binge watch, If you haven't seen this please don't hesitate!!

I still don't get it why fox cancelled this serie.. i watched it on 2014 i loved it then .. and i just watched it on 2020 and still love it.. big mistake.. because there is a whole story still to tell..

I really enjoyed it! I had to write a review because everyone was hating on it. It kept me on the edge of my seat! I had no idea what to expect! I really like the main character and thought he did an awesome job! That is a hard role to play! I really got into it. I don't believe there is any show like this one. Its one of a kind! Its really heavy, in my opinion, because there are huge deaths, and it doesn't follow the norms of what is right and what is wrong. Its out there! Im a huge fan already, and Thursday night just became my favorite night! Great job to all of you who put this together and i hope it ends as well as it started! Im so glad i got another great series to follow! What a ride!!!

Very hard to put Mexican characters on TV and make them believable ... Even better that Curtis C is part of the cast (of course he's not real :) but rocks his role) .. Personally I watch TV and/or read a book to get away from real life so if there are inconsistencies and as long as they are not TOO far off the mark then it's OK ... This is a good show so far .. Lots of action, different character types, villains ... Yea it pretty much has it all .... 'Ryan' is trying to keep his 'familia' happy which makes him unhappy .. He second guesses himself which also leads to trouble .. He's trying to balance both sides of the law and it's a bumpy road.... Try it out I don't think you'll be disappointed .
