So I finally watched the first episode of this last night.....And my god it was bad. Terrible accents....wooden acting....too many fast cuts. The only character in the show that I found likeable at all was Delroy Lindo as the badass alderman. The location shots were interesting to see and the city looked great. I guess my question is does the acting get any better or is it the only redeeming factor of the show the city itself.
I'll agree that the Pilot was bad. Probably the worst episode in the series. First episodes are usually bad, IMO. I would give it another shot. Delroy Lindo's character is defintiely bad ass, and I'm hoping things all come together in the finale.
I kind of wanted to stick around to make it to the episode where they shoot on the el tracks because I saw the film crews out there when I was on my way into work one morning.
