Parish

I am really trying to like this show, it's just trite and cliche so far. AMC and Giancarlo Esposito should be an instant hit with originality but this is not the case. Another mob related program but taking place in New Orleans. The location is different but the story is not. Nothing new or dynamic here. I'd recommend a pass as I doubt it's renewed for a season 2. Perhaps the writing could improve but it might be too late. Rewatch Boardwalk Empire or the sopranos. I'm three episodes in and am finding it difficult to not be bored. Maybe the season finale can turn things around but I won't hold my breath.

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.

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.

It felt like we were dropped into the middle of a season instead of the start of a brand new show. There's zero character development. You just have to figure it all out on the fly. We have no idea why Parish is who he is or why the bad guys are even the bad guys. Then there's Parish's family. These are all complicated characters but we get zero backstory. They just jump into the middle of things. And with that they give us only six episodes?

They also seemingly did things on as cheap of a production budget as possible. Some scenes it sounds like they were filming in a telephone booth.

This show might get a season 2 due to Esposito's popularity. Otherwise surely this would get canceled.

Decent show but argh my God the shona accents were super hard to go through! Thats my only gripe witht his show, it was absolutely shameful how bad the accents were. Surely theres good zimbabwean actors they could have given a shot. I only watched this coz im a HUGE Giancarlo Esposito fan and it wasnt too bad at all, definitely passed the time between my regular shows i watch but couldnt watch this all in one go like i watched Kaleidoscope! I hope Hollywood starts actually researching languages and accents to make sure they cast the right actors for these roles because i had a serious issue with the accents im sorry.
