Curiosity got me watching
Watching gave me a hard "no" on this series. I gave it five stars for the dialogue and Sylvester Stallone, but the stars drop drastically for all the other parts.
I watched because I love mob movies and shows and have always been a fan of Sylvester and Taylor. Unfortunately, what could have been a classic fish out of water starting from scratch story turned out to be a mess. Not a hot mess, just a mess. I get that he doesn't know how much the world has changed, but to get him to roll over on a medical marijuana store? I spent that whole scene wondering if it was a big joke. Yes, even when he came back.
Don't get me started on the ageism. She'll sleep with him when she thought he was a mid-fifties, but practically throwing up in her mouth a little to find out he's 75? Really, Taylor? Was the sex really bad then so we'll blame that on his age?
I usually know right from the first episode if a show is worth continuing and this one screams "run away, run away fast" to me rather than watching a second episode.
