Re: Netflix series Bad Blood
It's like....a C- student all around. Acting, casting, cinemetography, writing, the sets.....
They borrowed too much from other crime shows and movies, like Goodfellas and Narcos.
There isnt any distinctive " Personality" with the show, that you get with a Gomorrah, or Breaking Bad, or Ozark, The Wire, Boardwalk, Sopranos....
Too me it's not "Montreal" enough. Not that I'm an authority on Montreal...
But I woulda loved if, instead of a corny voice over, the show starts with like.. Dejardins speaking French to one of his guys, meeting up with, maybe, an Irish guy at the docks, bringing in a load.
Then follow the load to the Hells. Then follow the Hells to the Hatians in the streets. Maybe there is a problem. They bring it to the Italians, and then they introduce Vito and go from there.....
They just kinda slapped it together..... I noticed Peter Edward's and the other guy are profucers... Money Grab?

Season 2 is much worse, but I'm watching it anyway for some reason.
We canadians are okay at comedies, but we can't make a decent drama for shit.

Re: Netflix series Bad Blood
Low budget BS... talk about absolutely no artistic vision or creativity whatsoever. Makes you really appreciate what David Chase was able to do with the Sopranos.
Re: Netflix series Bad Blood
Just watched episode 4 last night where Vito gets out of jail. Was Bruno (the bald guy always wearing the suit) supposed to be Renda? That’s who I thought at first until (spoiler) Vito killed him.
Re: Netflix series Bad Blood
I thought Bruno was a cross between Renda and Joe DiMaulo. Regardless, terrible show and I was disappointed. More extras would have been nice to make the viewer understand it was more than 5 people involved. Montagna wad a joke and the calabrians were under represented imo.

Re: Netflix series Bad Blood
I only had the FlixTor link that our buddy shared with us so I only seen the first 3 episodes but I'm not rushing over to download this shit or watch it on Netflix. I "might" watch it when I'm bored and at my buddies house as here in country I don't have internet fast enough to watch it anyways
If I didn't have my case coming up, I would like to come back with you gentlemen when this is over with and really lay the law down what is going on in this country.....

Re: Netflix series Bad Blood
I saw the series over a year ago it was originally released in Canada very entertainingBruno187 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 13, 2018 11:01 am I was wondering if anybody had caught the series yet.
I had relatively high hopes as there is not many documentaries on Rizzuto and the Canadians.
Watched a few episodes and was very underwhelmed. I think they "try" to stick to historical events, but have taken some dramatic licenses.
Anybody else have feedback?

Re: Netflix series Bad Blood
I watched season 1 last year when it came out and Season 2 just finished up on Canada tv.. I think its decent but probably because I wasn't expecting much since it was a Canadian tv show.. No doubt Declan is partly based off Reynald Desjardins being that hes Vito's non italian right hand man and switched over to Sal Montagna's side

I think in general the show is good, although they use a bit of "Godfather" to dramatize things, but it's still good entertainment.

Re: Netflix series Bad Blood
biggest disappointment in recent memories for me when it comes to movies/tv. there's a thread in another section here that was up before it came out and i think we all had similarly high hopes. oh well.

Re: Netflix series Bad Blood
Was Cotroni and Violi under the bonanno’s while they were running Montréal ? Or did That happen when the Rizzuto family took over and made them have more power?
Also when George from Canada sgot killed i’m Surprised there was no push back from Vito and Montréal after that , wasn’t Vito almost as strong as Massino at that time period .

Re: Netflix series Bad Blood
I’ve only seen season one on Netflix, but you guys are too harsh on this show. It’s interesting enough. Besides, other than The Sopranos, what good mob shows are there?
@JermeytheJew I agree completely about the 3 capos murders. That whole scene was just nutty. Fortunately, that’s as bad as season one gets.

The way you talk, you just confuse him.
