I was surprised. The transparency and depth of his background really surprised me. The first episode sees Arnold opening up about his home town and parental upbringing. He doesn't pull any punches here. Seeing him in the very same bedroom...and bed...where he began his quest was mind blowing for me. Hi journey to America was detailed as was his acknowledgement of those who supported him...both financially and physically. Franco and Frank were key in his personal life providing guidance and friendship. It was a breath of fresh air to hear him open up about steroids as well. I am really looking forward to the next 2 episodes, hoping he leaves the vegan nonsense out of it. A great documentary so far.
Hard to believe Sibby and his family are from Chicago. They are the same family type as mine and everyone I grew up with in Italian Boston. Even most parts of NYC have produced comical, loving and influential Italian families. This movie hit the mark in spades! A very funny, very accurate depiction of working-class Italian families with a nice touch of emotional fortitude. The accent, phrasing, manurisms, symbolism...it's all there and accurate. Bobby D does an outstanding job playing the very character he actually is...an Italian father. They kept it PG-13 to which I say BRAVO! The challenge of making a great PG comedy today is insane, yet they pulled it of nicely. Thank you my paisans for making me laugh while bringing back nice memories. The best!
Negan is the ONLY reason I continued to watch TWD after season 5. What an actor this guy is. We finally get some insight into his past...what made him Negan...and it does not disappoint. For the first time I find myself rooting for "the bad guy", realizing that the bad guy label is only a matter of perception. It's relative. Besides the fact I dislike Maggie and the actor who portrays her. I am hoping Negan cleans house in season 11 and he joins Darrel to start a new comnunity because the remaining characters have become dull...boring with the actors phoning it in. This episode made up for the previous dumpster fire episode in spades!
