The whole movie contains excessive drama, and unfortunately, for nothing. There is no real action in the movie, except for endless conversations between the characters. The mother is pretty much the main character of the movie, and spends her whole screen-time talking to various other characters.

I don't understand how this movie is even in the run for an Oscar. The story idea that sits behind the movie could have created an amazing movie, packed with smart dialogs and action. However, all the movie offers for it's viewers are endless dialogs. Endless.

A disappointment. Don't watch it. Just my 2 cents.

I saw a few adverts about the series and decided 'what the heck!'. After watching the 8 episodes from the 1st season I really have to say I'm impressed. I'd say that the storyline is rather excellent for a comedy-drama series.

Having most of the "Entourage" crew behind it, it might just be a success, and if they try hard enough, I can see a future for this show, no doubt about that! The story is great! Combining street thugs, ex-cons, high-life, 'not-so-high-life', hood-mentality, etc. showing the struggle to get to the top in a country where there's enough possibilities for everyone, but also bringing some comedy into it.

Unfortunately 8 episodes are too few to get a good idea about what's about to happen, but the characters and the action portray real-life close enough just to make it believable. That's a good enough reason to want to watch the first season of the show, but it made me want to see the 2nd season as well.

You're never sure what's going to happen next. I'd say it was worth my time watching it.
