Unlike Barbara Billingsly in 'Airplane!' I don't speak'Jive' so I had to keep rewinding to understand some of the dialog between the pimps. The do or die of series like this is character development so it takes more than one episode to see that.The first episode of GoT gave you no clue as to what was in store.

Where did they get so many huge smog belching American cars? The panoramic shots of NY streets had to cost a truckload of money. If the actual storyline comes close to the effort put into the visuals we might be in for a wild ride.

Smith, Gbenga Akinnagbe and Michael Kostroff all appeared in both 'The Wire' and 'The Deuce'. 2 September 2017 by reimbolds – See all my reviews.
