The Westies
The show
As the Javits Center construction project ignites a battle for profit in early 1980s Hell's Kitchen, a generational rift threatens the uneasy peace between violent Irish gang the Westies and the Mafia, and draws FBI heat.
The Cast
The Real Review
Reactions are split, with people praising the gritty 1980s look and Titus Welliver's performance, but many found the story around the Westies gang and the Javits Center construction messy and slow. J.K. Simmons gets talked about a lot, but mostly for how his character, Eamon Sweeney, is written, not in a good way. While the acting is solid overall, the plot's lack of originality and some weaker characters like Mickey and Jimmy leave viewers wanting more.
