Gang Related

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 .

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..

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!!

The show in one word (promising), it has a little bit of (The Departed) and (The Shield). Also there are angles to the story other than the main one which is double agent for mob and the police. The action does not take over the drama and that is very good from famous action writer. The acting is good from the police squad and the gang especially the paralyze character. Finally the reason for why I watch this show is because of its story that reminds me of martin Scorsese magnificent piece of art The Departed, and the hot beautiful actress Shantel VanSanten just look at the poster and you will know what I mean.

Fans of former FX show "The Shield" will love "Gang Related".

The show started off good and after the last few episodes, its reach GREAT status. Especially episode 7 (stealing back the Fish Scale). The acting is great, the story lines are somewhat believable. It does have a few faults -

No.1 - I love Javier Acosta (Cliff Curtis) and without him...perhaps this show is a dud. Yet when you have him speaking Spanish, you can tell he's not Mexican. This is especially evident when he's speaking with Los Metas member Miguel Salazar. It's not a deal breaker, just an observation.

No.2 - Gang Members don't wear bandannas across there forehead. I see this all the time and I just don't understand why Hollywood keeps making this mistake. If you have to have a bandanna on a gang member. Have it place around his throat, in the same manner someone might place it just before a robbery to partially cover there face. Just don't place it on there foreheads, it's not the 80's! Besides that, the rest of the gang members in the show, actually look like what you would see in the hood. I would suggest you have Carlos razor shave his head...we don't do fades.

Besides those small mistakes, I love this show. I've recommended it to my friends and all of them are now hook. Hopefully it gets picked up for a few more seasons.

PS. I've read news stories of Mexican's dislike how Gang Related portrays them. I'm Mexican and I have no issue at all. Would you rather be portrayed as a High School teacher who makes Meth? Or perhaps a leader of a Biker Gang? Both of these two shows give you a man who is good at heart and yet has to make some decisions that you may not understand. Yet, they do it for there FAMILY. Which is why I love Gang Related, S.O.A, The Shield and Breaking Bad.
