The next time you're looking to cash in on the trend in organized crime sagas - i.e. your midseason "Sopranos"+"Law and Order" series "Line of Fire" - you might want to pick someone besides David Paymer to portray the sociopathic mob boss who instills abject terror in his subordinates. I've never given much thought either way to the guy who played Ira Shalowitz in the "City Slickers" movies, and I'm as anti-bully as the next person, but even I want to give Paymer a wedgie when I see those commercials. This may not be the reaction you were looking for.
Thank you for your time.
Nah, it's set in Richmond. We don't do "Affirmative Action" here.
Missed the first episode last night, but pre-reviews are pretty strong, FWIW.
The series might be decent. If Paymer's charachter really is a "no holds barred" kind of mob boss, then maybe we're in for a violence extravoganza. My only question will be, how the heck did he rise to the top of such an organization? Affirmative action, perhaps.
