    Guys, there is a sniper sequence midway through which you would have seen in something like "No Country For Old Men." Absolutely chilling...

    If you like adult shows in this vein with amazing brutal action I recommend Banshee (skip the last season) and Quarry.

    • @harrykatsaros
      @harrykatsaros 4 года назад +2

      Warrior, the follow up series from the creators of Banshee is also pretty fkn awesome. The last season of Banshee is fine, its admittedly not quite at the level of the other seasons, but it's perfectly watchable. Juts great pulp style action adventure.

    saw that the show won't be premiering on AMC's network until early 2021. don't really get the months difference in premiere from AMC+ to AMC.. distribution for this show in the States has been so fucked. happy that it has a season 2 renewal already, though.

    Action film recommendation: The Villainess. A South Korean film. Whenever I think of top tier level action, I think The Raid films, The Night Comes for Us, and The Villainess. Nothing else comes close.

    • @phantomkitten73
      @phantomkitten73 3 года назад +1

      The Villainess had pretty cool action, but I personally think that Mad Max: Fury Road, Hardcore Henry, The Protector, or Upgrade would be more deserving of that third spot.

    Gave this a miss but decided to watch it on sky catch up here in the UK, after your review. Yes it's great gruesome knock about stuff. But in the end it's just The Long Good Friday, without Bob Hoskins, and Helen Mirren. Disagree, watch the LGF and change my mind 😀

  • @fflv_irn
    @fflv_irn 4 года назад

    watched it because of this recommendation. and it is shit. Cannot enjoy the action behind all the child-murdering. The plot can't handle it easier. Feel like I am watching a wannabe GoT season 2 or 4. It's just too sociopathic for its own sake. But it's not 2014 anymore. So it old, boring, and laughable. Being there, done that. Nothing new whatsoever here. Could just watch CNN after UFC. I would be surprised to see more than 2 seasons. And that only if they shot it already.

    Show does have some great action, especially in the first few episodes but I found the story overall pretty meh. To many plot holes an nonsensical events. Had great potential from pilot but was overall wasted in my opinion. Still have to agree on the action being top notch but that was to be expected given creators previous works.

    I just watched the first 3 episodes. I gotta say I'm a bit disapointed by the writing of this series. I had big expectations when you mentioned The Sopranos. But unfortunately this is nowhere near the level of David Chase's writing. This is not prestige tv.
