There is a thread in tv movie section
I watched it , Demeo's acting is hard watch but the rest of the cast wasn't to bad. Filmed all over the neighborhood so that was a plus for me.

It’s cheesy as expected but I think it’s worth giving it a watch for guys like us. I would not recommend it to someone that isn’t into the mob. It’s only 4 episodes and they are short, so not a big time investment.

Best part was seeing my man Paulie Malignaggi in the first episode haha. He also was in a very low budget mob movie some years back called Omertà, which is also not a movie I would reccomend to anyone outside this forum but was a decent watch. In both rolls he plays a violent lunatic and he does a pretty decent job haha

I watched it with open mind that it was not based on real events/.. i think he did not want to go in that direction. I give him a lot of credit for effort in putting together a production with no real money , i would think all the actors worked for free, unless someone here knows better on investors with real dollars that put up. i liked the actor who played the captain..i think he could have a future if noticed.older guy who could be better than most older actors today.. i give him an A for effort..Got to root for the little guy, question ,was the irishman that much better? look at all the stars and money in the film..it sucked and full of lies..i give that film D because of that

I watched a couple episodes and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Definitely better than "Bad Blood" which was unwatchable. The older guy captain Chris was in Donnie Brasco
