This show is based on the movie from 2010 out of Australia, which I thought I had seen, but I guess I haven't because it has Mendelsohn, Pearce, and Edgerton, which makes it must-watch and had to leave an impression.  I think I was thinking of Romper Stomper.

 

Anyway, season 2 is on TNT, which I was reminded of while watching The Alienist.  Season 1 is on Amazon Prime.  Ellen Barkin and Shawn Hatosy and mostly no one else you have heard of.  She's the creepy Machievellian Mom of a family of surf brother criminals.  Hatosy is her psycho eldest.  Pretty damn good.  8.1 on IMDB.

 

Anyone else paying attention?

I figured it had to be with that cast.  Not sure why I thought I saw it, I can't believe it left that little impression if I did.

Watched the first season and am looking forward to the second. 

in the movie ben mendehlson plays one of the creepiest most evil fuckers you’ve ever seen, except very subtle and understated.  he’s very disarming and sneaks up on you, from a viewer’s standpoint.  it’s great shit.  

Season 2 already aired.  Season 3 is starts May 29.

Finished up the first season. Pretty damn good. A bit farfetched at times, but entertaining. Hatosy impresses. Or at least he is impressive relative to his younger meathead stuff. Barkin is excellent. 

the wife watches it, and i've seen some here and there.

denis leary is going to be a big part of s3.

I've watched both seasons, and I'm excited for the third. Thankfully, it looks like Scott Speedman's character (Baz) is going to be phased out sometime during this season. The direction his character was going was painful to watch, and he was a drag on the entire show.

Yeah, posted about this on the old site. Not a bad show, it’s basically GTA-5 + Point Break in TV series form.

The Jet Ski heist on the Party Boat was pure GTA. Same with the heist on the highly secured Military base. lol!

This show is cheesy as hell.  I watch it sort of as a guilty pleasure show.  It mostly caters to the monster energy drink crowd.   I can't believe it's at an 8.1 on IMDB.  I'd give it maybe a 6 and that's being generous.

watch. the. movie. 

I figured out why I have no recollection of it.  I located it without subtitles and the dialog is almost incomprehensible and I seem to recall that from the first time I tried to watch it (before I turned on CC for everything courtesy of GoT).  I'll have to add a subtitle file to it.

 

And I have only seen the first season, which wasn't all that cheesy except the ending base heist and even it was more "cleverish" than Point Break-ish, but I can see it going kind of downhill on the believability scale.  I am most assuredly not the "monster"/affliction/mma/skate crowd and enjoyed the "who the fuck are these people" aspects of the first season.

I thought I'd bump this since I've caught up on season 3. This season has been pretty good and thankfully hasn't been cheesy. My only complaints are that it's been a bit slow to develop and that it's on TNT in the first place. There's still 7 episodes left and is slowly but surely developing, so it should only get better from here on out.

seems like they're wasting denis leary.

Yeah, it seems like they're building toward him and Smurf eventually meeting. Until then, he'll just continue to kiss Deran's ass and try to avoid Pope.
