The Westies
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.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyIt's a mixed bag that leans just a little positive, mostly thanks to its authentic 80s look and solid acting. The premise, with the Javits Center construction sparking a gang war between the Westies and the Mafia, has promise, but the story hasn't fully won people over. Titus Welliver's Glenn Keenan gets decent marks, but many are disappointed in J.K. Simmons' Eamon Sweeney and find the younger characters like Jimmy Roarke (Tom Brittney) and Mickey Flanagan (Stanley Morgan) underwhelming. It feels like a familiar crime drama that hasn't yet found its spark.
