Rating: - A Blue Collar Version of THE GODFATHER
Shadow Watcher
Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake
Aficionados of gangster movies will want to take a look at this limited-run television series.
THE BLACK DONNELLYS (13 episodes/3-discs), from Universal Studios Home Entertainment, didn't make it as a television series, which is a shame because it's an excellent show with a compelling story, realistic dialogue, some good action and fascinating characters.
Created by Paul Haggis and Robert Moresco, the series, which is part black comedy, plays somewhat like a blue collar version of THE GODFATHER.
The Donnellys are four Irish-American brothers, living in New York City. Jonathan Tucker, like Michael Corleone, aspires to a better life away from organized crime, but when one brother (Billy Lush), a gambling addict who never wins a bet, has to pay his bookie a large debt or have his legs broken, another hot-headed brother (Tom Guiry), the Sonny Corleone of this saga, kidnaps the bookie, who just happens to be the nephew of the local Italian Mob boss.
After a pair of Italian hoods beat up the youngest Donnelly (Michael Stahl-David), Guiry shoots the bookie, then in order to save his brother from being killed by the Italians, Tucker and Lush take a meeting in which they assassinate leaders of both the Italian and the Irish mobs.
Now, in order to keep the Italians and the Irish from coming after them, Tucker and his brothers must feign innocence and pretend to work with both ... Read More
Rating: - Great Stuff!
This is definitely worth watching. On a par with the Sopranos,except the brothers are IRISH and fighting with the Italians. Like other reviewers I wish there were more seasons. Order the DVD series if you missed it when it was on tv.
Rating: - awsome
I think this was one of the best purchase's I have done i sure wish they would of made more of the season.
Rating: - WHAT SHAME
What a shame it is that this brilliant show was pulled from the air. I was hooked after just one episode. I had hope that there was going to be a television show worth watching when TBD aired. There hasn't been such a collection of talented actors, brilliant writing and production on television in a long time.
Rating:  - Better than I expected.
My boyfriend really wanted to see this series, and I didn't care to. I decided to watch the first episode, just to see what the hype (after it was cancelled) was all about. From the first episode, I was hooked.
If you like mob dramas, such as Boondock Saints, Sopranos, The Godfather, you would most likely enjoy this.
