The actor who played lead character Sean Wallace was wooden as fuck and ruined it for me along with the completely unnecessary amounts of violence that was used to fill out the episodes, obviously gangs rule by violence but it just felt silly in the end, was looking at my phone for the majority of the final 3 episodes.
Thought it started off really well and could put up with the shit cheesy accent but just completely lost it’s pace towards the end. I don’t want to sound like a prude but the violence was just OTT as well, there was too much of it so became too much like a Tarantino film so lost the impact of how brutal it was meant to be.
I liked the twists and turns though, I thought the story overall was good and I’d watch a second series but it did suffer towards the end.
