Liev Schrieber and Jon Voight, both maginificent and born for these roles. A dirtbag "Boston Boyz," felonious family transplanted to L.A. Well worth watching.
I LOVE the way they're fleshing out the family dynamics, especially in the episode before last, during which:
Emotional nuance and hard ass gore! It's the best new show on the box. It's so good, you'll delete all the reality shows on your DVR just to make sure you never miss an episode!
*I moved this short, but somewhat NSFW clip out of the spoiler box, so y'all can get a taste of wut ahm talkin 'bout.
I LOVE the way they're fleshing out the family dynamics, especially in the episode before last, during which:
The one fight gym owning brother of Liev with the palsied hand goes to tune up the husband whose wife he had an affair with (not knowing she was married,) because the husband punched her out. His two bros, Liev the successful "fixer to the stars" and the other, now in his 30's but still a man child ever since he was molested by a priest when he was young, tag along, all three swiging hard liquor straight from the bottle on the way.
After first getting whipped in the face with the nozzle end of a hose, the palsied, one-good-armed brother wails on the much bigger husband and the equally huge neighbor who come over to help and first pins him from behind -- all this in broad daylight on a suburban lawn.
Liev and man-boy get out and run over when the neighbor first pins their bro -- but don't intervene -- because that's their code!
Also, palsied bro apologizes to the husband for sleeping with wife -- he didn't know! -- and (so far) refuses to sleep with her again. Dirtball Boston Honor~! :biggrin:
So good and nunaced. Later, the three brothers have congregated in the gym to drink formal toasts on the 20th post-death birthday of their sister -- reading sentimental excerpts from Shakespeare/Irish lore/whatever between shots.
Liev's two bros start laughing as they reminisce about sis, and the time -- POP! POP! -- they dislocated her shoulders. We both wanted to play with her, haw, haw! I thought Dad did that, muses Liev. Naw, it was us, guffaw.
Good times lovingly remembered!
In a previous ep, Voight, the father who just got released from 20 years in jail, giving sexual advice to his grandson is hilarious!*
