I started watching this show (on Starz in the US) because I like limited series. Limited series are awesome because they're kind of like long movies, long enough to know the characters, but without having to worry about show runners milking old story lines. The first episode of this series feels both fast and slow. You learn a lot, but it doesn't come screaming at you. The suspense builds the further in you get and the intrigue increases along with it. I think I enjoyed the characters and their development more than the actual overall plot. However, it was still a good story all in all. A good mystery/crime drama to satiate your needs.

Good story line that at the end was quite unexpected. I like how it switches from different characters to give different views on situations and is not in chronological order (0 more)
I felt that the story was a bit slow to get going and did start to wonder why people were raving about it as it seemed very bland (0 more)
Book review
Overall i really enjoyed this book. It throws many curveballs to the plot and I did not expect the ending. It combines murder mystery, crime drama, romance,mystery and much more. Very cleverly written in the way it is not written in chronological order and how the characters dont seem to be united in anyway at the start but slowing the ball unravels.

Based on a DC comic series this is the tale of 3 women who decide to play gangster up in hells kitchen when their mob connected husbands are sent to prison for 3 years.Their rise to power is noticed by the mafia and they eventually go into business together but things start to come off track when their husbands are released from jail early.

I have to say I've never ever been a fan of melissa mcCarthy but she is actually ok in this along with her two other co stars.There were a few flaws to this film,the pace of it is often slow and lacks some intensity but still an enjoyable crime drama overall.
