Only reviewing it after the pilot, but it's dark, punchy, very interestingly paced and overall attractive. Camerawork and music are good, some moments where past blends with the present are especially notable because of that like the one In the second half of the pilot, where our protagonist is visiting his mother. It does sound like an interesting story, but it's also nice to watch. Hard to tell how it will develop further, but start is very, very promising. American Gigolo presents very specific, dark vibe that is lasting after you have finished the episode. I will follow this show and even if it loses momentum, I recommend watching the pilot for this very vibe.
This series continues to suprise me the further I get. First, you can't go wrong with the creator of Ray Donovan at the helm. And second, it is always captivating not one boring moment.
Jon Bethernol usually seems to play the same actor but in this he emulates Richard Gere so well and there's times where he looks just like him.
It's a very layered shows with a lot of things going on (in a good way) to keep the viewer compelled.
This series is absolutely fantastic and insanely bingable. Well done and bravo.
Ignore the negative reviews and watch the first episode and you'll thank me. Great rendering of a remake.

Is this show going to win any awards? No. But did I enjoy it enough to binge it all in 2 days? Yes.
I found it entertaining and an easy show to watch, Jon was great in it. Rosie was amazing, bringing comedic relief to a non comedy can be cringe but it was done so well.
People complain about the flashbacks but I didn't mind them at all. It shows what the character is thinking about in that month.
Feel very sorry for the main character in this, and to be honest there are a lot of "oh that's so silly" moments in the show, but I've given it a 7 for entertainment value and good acting. And Shirtless Jon. That helps.

Great cast, solid story! Exceptional TV series! Can't wait for the next episode. Good character development as well. This has the potential to be a regular series. The main character has more than enough substance to carry the weight of the show as do the supporting roles! Its time to see the leading actor shine because his role in The Walking Dead was cut short.
Enjoy this roller coaster and hang to this RIDE. You won't be disappointed. Just wish the network would release the first two episodes in the same day. Gotta wait to see next week's cliffhanger. So grab your drinks and snacks for this new series from Showtime!
Please watch the first episode b4 making any rash comments!

The only three things going for this show are the decent cinematography, Jon Bernthal, and Rosie O'Donnell. The plot tries to be intriguing at first, but now that I have watched all of the episodes, I find it rather dull overall and not worthy of its movie predecessor. The two subplots are ultimately unsatisfying. The series does get us through it with the subtle macho charisma of Julian, endearingly played by Jon Bernthal who is a very charismatic actor himself. He is not as pretty as Richard Gere but his stares and head tilts are smoldering to say the least. He is the perfect reincarnation of Julian. Then we have Rosie O'Donnell as the new Sunday, who provides some comic relief to the dialogue. It works for me and I like her performance. All of the other characters unfortunately come off as unlikable. And the use of clip montages gets a little extreme. Overall, this series is a lot of style, not much substance, but you get a little bit of both from Bernthal, and that is enough to recommend it.
