The series started off well, this is clear as the score when writing this review in Jan 2025 sits at 7.4; and I am in agreement with that BUT oh boy did it go downhill fast in season 2 and dropped off a cliff in season 3 (probably as a result of using the B team).

Like the Marvel movies, people are interested in the main characters (mostly from phase one of the MCU) and not the ones who carry little weight even in the comics. I am just glad there are no plans to further tarnish the earlier episodes.

If you haven't watch any - watch season 1 and leave it at that - I gave it 5 as an average across all three seasons but season one alone is a 7.

I saw this on Prime and at the time it had a 5.9 score only because there seems to a small amount of reviews; hence why I am here to provide my view why this is more than a 5.9.

Don't expect a glorified view of the mafia here ala Goodfellas, this is a more grounded story almost drama focused with some violent scenes but not in any gruesome way. The protagonist has to walk a fine line between his work (if we can call it that) and his family and the expectations that come from either side.

The main actors played their parts well as I suddenly wanted to know what will become of them and the story was intriguing enough to keep glued till the end.

At around 90 minutes, this film was not a bore and certainly not a 5.9. A solid 7 from me.

..an okay start to the show and got you wondering what will happen next, it goes totally sideways and ends up crashing.

I tried hard to watch it because of the high rating but by ep.10 season 2 I had to cut loose because time is precious and this show's story is not!
