The Black Donnellys

I just watched the first two episodes. Not bad. To be honest, the music sort of annoyed me. It seems every seen has some sort of music playing in the background. The acting and the story seems pretty intense, though.

Going to keep giving it a shot. So far it impressed me more than Mad Men has. I think putting it on NBC was a mistake, though. That network is way too mainstream to handle something like this. HBO or Showtime might have treated it a bit better.

Definitely not a Sopranos rip-off. It seems The Donnellys can't sit still for more than a minute. I'll admit the kinetic energy of the show is a refreshing change from most. A very different flavour to The Sopranos, though. And yes, Olivia Wilde is very hot.
