I gave this one a try thinking what's not to like with gangsters and cast members from Walking Dead? Unfortunately, it's awful even with a few good actors. And there are so many commercials that's it's impossible to watch. A real disappointment.

I was disappointed in it as well. I love 1940's-50's era cop noir stuff but this just didn't cut it. Liked the sets, cars, etc., but it just didn't have the soul I expected. -- Al

It might be time to watch "Chinatown" and give this series a rest.

Thought the second show was better than the first one. Think I'll stick around for part 3. I think Burns as Siegal and Knepper as Rothman are the standouts. -- Al

They do have some good character actors but the writing is awful, the music bad, and the commericials unbearable. If I remember to DVR it so that I can FF through the endless ads, I might stick with it.

Quite agree about the commercials (about every 5 minutes), really chopped up the show. The lack of period music really puzzled me. It would have done a lot for the mood and believability had the producers used music like LA Confidential did. I did like the wrap-up and was highly impressed with the show's version of what happened to Siegel. It was a suitably gruesome end. I would watch if they make further episodes as it is an interesting period of time. Show ended just in time as I don't think Joe could have taken another beating. He got hit more times than the Italian Stallion.:rolleyes2: -- Al
