Animal Kingdom

Tweet

Thought I would give a new show on TNT called Animal Kingdom a shot, the show opens with a teenage kid named Jay who's mother dies of a overdose, his estranged grandmother takes him in, we meet his three uncle's a bunch of money is seen strewn about, the uncle's are not average they offer the kid alcohol immediately upon meeting him. share stories of drug use and give him hundreds of dollars to buy shoes. Thee show has the feel of Sons of Anarchy and it seems they are slowly trying to recruit the kids into whatever nefarious activities they are involved, waiting till later in the show to really delve into what that is. Another uncle Shawn Hatosy shows up and has been released from jail. Shawn is a very underrated actor whom I remember from a great film Soldier's Girl I may write a review on that later on as it was a great film. Without giving to much away I do recommend giving the show a chance, it definitely seems a bit slow but a talented cast, with Ellen Burstyn in a starring role. It's nice to find a brand new show to watch and this one hasn't gotten the promotion it should. Look forward to future episodes I hope that it develops Into a good show.
