This mini series sucked


I really wanted to like this movie but it was to forced and it was tryig to be something its not, a good movie. The cast and charectors were over the top and over exagerated. They should have done a little bit more research and pick the best charectors. It came out being cheesy.

I'm surprised that Kingpin was compared to The Sopranos. Whilst both had immoral characters committing despicable acts, The Sopranos had more complex characterisations. This created moments where audiences could truly connect with the characters, such as Tony's issues with his Mother. Whereas Kingpin's characterisations were one dimensional and contradictory, especially with Miguel. I could not sympathise with any of the characters despite Kingpin's sentimental attempts to do so, except for Delia. Her story arc was the only one with any redeeming quality.

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.
