Get Shorty

Get Shorty was such an amazing series! It has to be one of the most underrated series I can think of. I literally couldn't stop watching this once I started. I binged the entire series as fast as I could. I didn't think Chris O'Dowd could pull off the tough guy but he is excellent in this. This was one of Epix first original shows and was on when Epix was first starting off as a network so not many people knew about it. Because of that this show wasn't promoted the way it should've been, if this would've been on a bigger network or streaming service this show would've been huge and even award winning. I'm glad we still got three great seasons though. I can't recommend this show enough!

Don't Compare to Film or Other Series Like It...This is really nothing like the film (besides its plot, but consider it a standalone take with the same name and not a remake series) or other shows like it such as say, Breaking Bad, or Fargo...Id say its really like a mix of both. Great dry humor and great acting. Im not sure why the rating and some reviews are relatively low and bad...Consider this a complete standalone and im sure you'll enjoy. Funny, witty, humorous yet dark...Loving it so far.

I genuinely enjoyed watching the first three episodes of this series and am looking forward to the rest. The acting is spot on and the cinematography is very well done. Found myself laughing out loud more than once.

It's annoying that I have to watch it online but that is for another day.

Excellent writing - clever, sharp, black humour with a wonderful tender and terrifying performance by Chris O'Dowd

Get Shorty was so much better than expected. This show surprised me as much as any show I've ever seen. I just want expecting to like it as much as I did. It's about an enforcer with the mob who goes to Hollywood and becomes a movie producer. He uses his skills as a mob enforcer to get things done in Hollywood. He falls in love with the job and wants to find a way out of the mob. It proves to be a lot more difficult that he anticipates. Chris O'Dowd is absolutely terrific in the lead role. This show really is one of the more underrated shows of the last 10yrs. It has everything you want in a great show...comedy, action, drama, mystery, etc. All 3 seasons are incredible. I can't recommend this show enough! If you haven't seen it do yourself a favor and go watch it as soon as possible.
