Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Clevercell Very disappointing...

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

D G Based on some of the reviews here, I checked this show out. It is essentially a soap opera. And the writing is barely up to that level. The premise itself is preposterous, but much of today's TV and movies have the same issue. It's just that most try hard not to suck. The writing here is full of overused clichés and forced drama. The characters are horrific stereotypes, and the acting!!! GAH!!!! If one can call it that, the acting makes you cry it is so bad. It hurts your soul. None of us mortals will ever know why the fantastic Terry O'Quinn signed on to this slow moving train wreck. You can see the tears he is fighting back as he delivers one bad line after another. One can only hope that he sees the error of his ways, and demands that the character kill himself.

fast-giga The problem with "Gang Related" is, that it tries too hard to be a serious TV show. The storyline trys to mimic the move "The Departed", with cops, gangs and moles in the police department. The problem is that this story is paired with a die-hardish action sequences, good action, but unrealistic. Basically its like trying to release the godfather trilogy with action scenes from a Jackie Chan movie. Just because two things are good when they are separated doesn't mean they are good when you combine them.Overall neither the storyline nor the action scenes are good, and combined both just don't fit to each other. My biggest problems are the action and story errors, here a couple of them: -HIV is claimed to be transmittable via touching. This is wrong, 50 years ago people infected with this terrible disease worked hard explaining to non-infected people that they are not a danger to the public. A tvshow in 2014 should be....more sensitive when it comes to such a topic.-the cops know about a heist, they stop the heist and arrest 18 gang members, this is portrayed as a huge success. The fact that 3 civilians dead during this heist isn't mentioned. They could have saved 3 lifes, but they choose its better to kill 18 gang members than to save 3 innocents. wtf? nice work.-the hero is investigated by internal affairs. He lied to them in his first report. The problem is his lies are terrible. He concealed that his partner was drunk at the moment he was killed, a thing which would have been detected at the autopsy (btw, it somehow wasn't detected). He lied about how much time passed between the first 3 shots at his partner and between the shot at him. He said 7 seconds while it was 58. It would have been no problem for him to say something like 30 seconds, no one would've cared.Overall, all tension in this TV show is created by stupid mistakes by the main characters. But it still tries to be a story driven cop-gang-mole TV-show. It should've focused on one thing: action or story.

Twcreconv2 With the slew of terrible reality shows or unwatchable dramas, Gang Related is a breath of fresh air (especially on Fox). I know some people say something like this is impossible to believe or it's impractical. So what? It's entertaining and it's good. So many shows are cancelled before the have a possibility to show their true potential and for it being this early on it's unbelievably interesting. Also, has no one ever seen Donnie Brasco? It's just a reverse situation instead of cop infiltrating mob ,it's mob infiltrating police. Fighting to do good while protecting his own. The show has an amazing cast of actors and it shows in GR. I think the only mistake we could make with this show is letting it slip away without seeing it through. Is Ryan a pawn to the ones he loves or is he really family. Someone who is willing to do anything for the people closest to him despite being on the edge of what's right and what's wrong ,and where he stands as an officer and a family member. Is there more corruption than meets the eye? Will the mistakes of some cost lives of others,or jealousy? It's nice to get a show like this that feels like a movie every time I watch it. If your a fan of shows like Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy, or movies like Blood In Blood Out this is for you.

tazingataz First of all, this show has so many haters, and they are all 50+ old farts that drink a shot of Port with their coffee whilst reading Moby Dick for the 35th time every night just before sleep.. They cannot relate in any way to the show, which is understandable.. The Black & White TV sets they watch it on doesn't show the tone of the Latino's well.. ;) Personally, I think it is well written, well acted and keeps you wanting more.. Anybody that trash talks this show should stick to their Collectors Edition of Schindler's List and that Brad Pitt movie about life.. If you like movies like "Blood In Blood Out, American Me and Colors" you are sure to enjoy this show as much as me.. Waiting eagerly for a 24 episode Season 2 Announcement..
