November 15, 20214 yr I liked it. Renner is great in roles similar to The Town. He plays a blue collar Michael Clayton in Kingstown.

November 17, 20214 yr Episode 1 hooked me in. Mostly because throughout it I was trying to understand what the brothers “do”..then it clicked. Didnt know something like that kinda “job” could exist. I’m in
November 19, 20214 yr Author Just finished Episode 2. Diggin this show. Definitely more grounded and realistic than Yellowstone

November 21, 20214 yr I'm split on this show. It's a really interesting concept, but it's just another Taylor Sheridan soap opera for guys. I only have room in my life for one of those at a time and right now Yellowstone is it. However, I might keep watching just for the black receptionist.

Fun fact… shes the black wife in the Dr Pepper Fansville commercials. And shes hot as fuck
November 22, 20214 yr Yea Ep 3 was really good...But I had to pay close attention to all of the dialogue and angles/motives for finding "that guy". It got confusing what each person wanted to happen....still trying to figure out why Mike is asked by cops to be involved in everything. lol It's kind of like the huge role of the Livestock Agents in Yellowstone. Love it though, gimme more.
November 22, 20214 yr So why did the meth cook HAVE to get whacked in the clink? Did I miss something, or Sheridan gonna Sheridan? As Renner argued many, many times it would be much easier to kill the guy during his apprehension. Edited November 22, 20214 yr by billfromlaketravis
November 29, 20214 yr I think for me I can't really get excited about the premise: these guys just magically do things for inmates and prison guards and keep the entire system stable and peaceful? Maybe if the show develops some sort of interesting back story, but having a hard time caring about anyone.

December 19, 20214 yr So if 3 FBI agents were murdered in 1 town, the federal response would be similar to the OKC bombing, right? Hell Biden would probably get questions about it. They’d put Milo in Florence Supermax immediately and his crew would arrested. I like Sheridan, but his stuff requires plenty of suspending disbelief.

January 3, 20223 yr Author Better episode this week than any single episode of Yellowstone. Holy shit

January 3, 20223 yr Episodes 8 & 9 are pretty crazy. If y'all are on the fence, try to make it to Episode 8.
January 5, 20223 yr Why are so many inmates getting the lethal injection in this prison? fun fact: Michigan is one of three U.S. states (along with Alaska and Hawaii) never to have executed anyone following admission into the Union
January 5, 20223 yr Yea I was on the fence early on also…mostly bc I wasn’t sure what world exists where the brothers business does what it does and all law enforcement, feds, guards, gangs are cool with it happening and doing whatever he does. He plays all sides. But ep 8&9 were bad ass. Think “those two” make it out alive? Im betting one doesn’t bc of all the foreshadowing.

Spoiler ... why the hell do you need to make a deal of any kind with the inmates to murder the child-killing meth cook? They'll know what he did. Just put him in gen pop and go watch TV or something.

The actor came up with the idea for the show and might want to take a more off screen role.

January 10, 20223 yr I think they could have stuck the landing a little better, but still very good. It left me with some unanswered questions. I hope Season 2 gets here soon.

I hope Season 2 gets here soon. Yup loved the finale, but wanted it to happen differently I guess. All that preaching the convict "leader" gave to Mike...and then bam he gets sniped 1 minute later lol. I was hoping he ran off...there was some fighting and then he dies. Stupid convicts...you were gona get mowed down regardless...they really thought they would answer any terms after executing guards? SWAT Team leader and his team needs its own spin off or more time on screen.
January 12, 20223 yr Renner was fantastic in this. I don't know how I feel about a big bad on the loose in this show, though. It takes things away from what the core premise is. I don't want it to end up like a mission centric video game like Sons of Anarchy did after season 3 or Peaky Blinders can be at times. I prefer the Michael Clayton for prison politics side of it. Hopefully Sheridan can maintain that.
January 12, 20223 yr Yeah I'm not thrilled with Milo on the loose. I know he has Law Abiding Citizen magical killing powers, but there will be thousands of cops looking for him. These prison break guys are never successful. The Texas Seven were about as organized as you can get and they found them in a month. But hey, maybe that's Season 2. The chase for Milo that occurs over a brief period of time.
January 12, 20223 yr And yeah, the SWAT team leader is a great character but also a special kind of evil dude - Vic Mackey (not Surly’s) in training. Hope he gets more run next season.

February 6, 20223 yr Just finished the season last night. Super uplifting! In all seriousness that was an insane 2-3 episode run. My heart was pounding most of the finale. Very much like Sicario. Looking forward to Season 2 but it is a dark show.
February 10, 20223 yr Just finished this. I liked the show for its overall tone, acting, direction. The last 3 episodes were crazy intense.Wish they would’ve found a way to get Bunny and Rebecca on screen in the finale because they both disappeared towards the end. Nichole Galicia is a great looking woman. I swear I saw her coming out of Shinsei in Dallas last week but I have no way to verify that.The premise of the show is the only thing holding me back and puts it in “liked it but didn’t love it” territory. Mike works all sides to maintain peaceful relations between cops, prison guards, and inmates. Everyone is totally cool with that and they often act as if they can’t function without him. Not sure he’s even very good at that role because shit steadily escalates throughout the show, and in the finale where he’s sent in to be the negotiator, it results in most people dying and him ducking for cover. Also, I don’t see how he brings in any money or pays Rebecca or the office rent, because hardly anyone shows up in his waiting room asking for favors they will actually pay for. But if you overlook the ridiculous premise and just accept it as a show about tense relations between law enforcement and criminals, it’s fairly entertaining.
January 16, 20232 yr About 10 mins into season 2 episode i said to myself....man i hope something happens to Momma McCluskey. I have hated Dianne Wiest since Parenthood
