Briefly: The Black Donnellys

So the first episode aired tonight and I thought I'd share some impressions:

The writer/director of Crash and the writer of Million Dollar Baby are heading up the project.

Not a bad pedigree.

The first episode introduces us to the 4 Donnelly brothers, some of their history, the people in the neighborhood, and the condition of their lives.

It was actually pretty good.

I'm skeptical about the direction they sent the story...I'll give it a few weeks before I pass judgment.

Ill tell you this - its hardcore, the action is good, the music is good, and its a bunch of drunk, pissed off, violent Irish fighting a bunch of drunk, pissed off, violent Italians.

Its basically the soprano's on broadcast TV.

Its re-airing on Thursday at 10 you should DVR it.

Like i said, ill give it three or four episodes before I decide what I think, but they showed some promise with their pilot.

Stay Tuned...
