L'ultimo boss di Kings Cross

You should watch this with a salt shaker by your side so you can take every sign involving John with a grain of salt. It turns into a piss take fantasy where were expected to root for the man who still contributed to the Australian criminal world.

The actors involved with the series do deserve some credit especially Tim Roth as Ezra Shipman and Claude Jabbour as Sam Ibrahim both have a massive screen presence and every scene is enjoyable to watch with them involved.

All in all its an average crime series marred by the involvment of its subject in the production and who most likely offered fiscal backing for a cleaner portrayal. It really characterizes the corruption present in Australia.

Decent cast each playing a personality of a real person in most cases. They look and sound just like the real people.

Cleary some of the details are fabricated or dramatised.

For an Australian based TV series this is world class.

Don't listen to the haters. Watch a couple of episodes, don't treat it like a documentary and you will enjoy it too.

First two eps were slow, however the following eps has been a rollercoaster ride keeping me on the edge of my seat. Intriguing plot, complex characters dealing with trauma and their masculinities. I love Sam & John's entanglements. Sam is a scary guy indeed. Tim Roth character is a bit of a larrikin. Not sure if he belonged in Kings Cross or moved to the wrong suburb (or country). Also, I read the book. There was no Vietnamese female gang leader, however I found the character Tien, a stand out. She's very intriguing and hard to tell what she's thinking. And I'm always looking forward to what happens to her and her tribe next. Looking forward to the upcoming eps on how she rises against John Ibrahim.

The first two episodes have dropped . This a very good violent and somewhat graphic recreation of Sydney's Kings Cross of the 70' and 80's

An epic gangster show based on true story . The Cross comes up a treat re dressed for the era and its retro colours really pop . They have clearly spent money on this show the special effects are high levers Tim Roth adds real international cred . To the gangster world of Kings Cross at that time -

The lead playing main character John Ibrahim the King of the Cross is excellent, he has real talent . Early days yet in his story but the first two eps have build a character arch that makes him both menacing yet likeable . Certainly far more likeable than most of the other characters, which bodes well

looking forward to next espisodes .

I didn't know about watching the show at first I didn't think the show was going to be interesting or good after watching the trailer cause I have never heard of the people the show is supposed to be about or based on But then decided to watch and found the show to be quite enjoyable and entertaining and found myself wanting to watch to find out what happens next just wish paramount had just released all episodes at once instead of once a week every Friday. Overall it's a pretty good show so far something different to watch. I would recommend watching this show and giving it a try even if you think it's not going to be interesting.
