It's not on the same level as the Australian original but it's still pretty interesting in its own right. Lots of emphasis on planning and executing heists, something not seen in the original. The cast does pretty good at giving their own takes on the characters rather than trying to imitate the Australian actors in the original. In particular, Ellen Barkin and Shawn Hatosy are really good as Smurf and Pope respectively.

I wonder if anyone else is watching this show yet. Been enjoying the new season. Gil Birmingham has a recurring role as a police detective now and it’s nice seeing him get diverse roles. There’s obviously some silly stuff but also some really surprising moments and interesting character development. Fun show. It obviously doesn’t reach the levels of the film, but it’s still entertaining in its own respect and is even able to expand on some elements lacking in the film (like how Baz, Craig, and Deran are a lot more fleshed out).

I binge watched the first 2 1/2 seasons over the last week and have really enjoyed it. Nice change of pace show that still has good action, drama, and characters.

I just saw this was on Prime.
Maybe I'll give it a go... though it is way down the path of shows I have on my list.

Been meaning to make time to binge watch this from the beginning sometime and that time has come. Pretty big fan of Ellen Barkin & the rest of the cast is solid so I'll give it a go this week for sure!

Definitely one of her meatiest roles in a long time. |

Definitely one of her meatiest roles in a long time. I am knee deep in the 1st season (binge watching it on Amazon Prime) and definitely really digging it so far! Barkin is such a boss lady in this and Shawn Hatosy is always reliable & quite good in this as "Pope". I dig the SoCal setting & the family dysfunction of it all. Gonna definitely keep watching this for sure. |
