Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

"Longmire" took us to crime in the Indian reservation, "Justified" introduced us to the Dixie Mafia, "Shut Eye" let's us dive deep into the mysterious world of the Gypsy Mafia - what feels a bit like a grown-up version of the Mentalist is probably one of the most unique and underrated shows right now and will hopefully get all the attention it deserves. The whole storyworld and its cast (and not just Donovan) is mesmerizing, and it's fascinating to see how they all manage to let you feel slightly disgusted and attracted at the same time. The art direction alone deserves an award. Captivating, original, beautyfully produced and a story that is as unpredictable as a palm reading session with an unsuspecting mark. Wow. I think I need a crystal ball until season three airs...

I got four episodes into this series before I called it quits. I really wanted to like it because the premise was fresh - the offspring of The Sopranos and Medium, but it fails. The gangsters are American gypsies that have no redeeming qualities. They are evil bullies with bad taste - and they aren't even interestingly evil (although Isabella Rossellini tries her best, she has nothing in the script to work with.) The main characters are not believable - they are two dimensional and boring, and you don't care if they get killed off -- in fact you kind of hope for it.The promise of some psychic element to the story barely appears in the first 4 episodes. Perhaps it becomes stronger as it goes on, but I grew impatient of the unfolding soap opera and the introduction of more conflict without resolve.It wasn't worth the four hours I invested.

Completely captivated as we were with Breaking Bad, Orange is the New Black and House of Cards plus a few other highly worthy binge-watches. Couldn't wait to finish the series, really looking forward to the next installment.Jeffrey Donovan is completely convincing in his role and exudes his own unique sort of intense, oily, disarming charm. His wife is quite beautiful, constantly reminding me of a tough, angular Angelina Jolie.All the actors were superlative, direction great, this is a total win as far as we are concerned. And how could someone go wrong with Donovan? He's just plain lovable as an actor. :) Note: It's rather a triumph for all the actors to carry the sometimes over-the-top plot so well, especially Donovan.

Season 1:It's really hard for me to sort out what's good and what's not with this thing.I WANT to like it because the premise is so fun. I think I always find Donovan better than his material and I don't know how that happens to an actor.The problem with this is that it is continually so 'almost' as good as it could be.There's a central tackiness that seems to get in the way of its greatness.The therapist is flighty or helpful. Which is it.The protagonist is a (transforming) visionary or a con artist. Feral or caring. Stunningly cunning or oblivious. The problem is that he's all of these in ten episodes. The story arcs are all over the place.Ditto the wife's 'issues.'I was overlooking all of these shortcomings and still rooting for the premise, but what really got to me was the immensely contrived and convoluted tenth episode filled with myriad plot sinkholes, wtfs and overlaid with a cheapness, a sleaziness that ultimately was simply depressing.So I gave it a six. Too bad. It coulda been, shoulda been, woulda been . . .Season 2:Could not EVEN make it to the end of Episode 2. Slo w w w w . Bad writing. Gaping plot holes.He actually turns Tarot cards over, two from side to side, then one Top To Bottom and calls the card reversed. WHAT!NOT good. Too bad. I'm out. Rating down from 6 to 3.
