Was this show made specifically for me? No, seriously, was it? Everything in this show is my favorite:
Gangster? Check.
Misunderstood male character struggling to control his own life? Check.
Masculinity gone wild? Check. (well, I guess this is a given in all gangster narratives.)
Set in the 1920s? Check.
Issues of race and class? Check.
Based on real life? Check.
Amazing soundtrack? Check.
Incredible art direction? Check.
Irish accents? Check.
Both seasons are equally amazing and addictive. If you liked shows like Mad Men and Breaking Bad and you can stomach some very gruesome scenes of fighting and gang violence, you should watch this.
