Oh man, I recorded it while I was at work...

Fucking incredibly written, and the acting is beyond superb for a TV show. I am loving the macabre humour showing its face on television these days and the darkness of most of the TV shows currently airing is bringing a sense of realism about. The whole media industry should be proud, as they are beginning to take what used to be underground and ... on the outside to the majority.. of course there are still terrible tv shows and movies out there, but this show is a good sign of things to come.

Of course, Olivia Wilde is there too!

This show is very good!!

A litle info:
Quote:

Premiered: March 5, 2007
Show Category: Drama

From the Oscar-winning creative team behind the 2004 movie Crash, Paul Haggis (thirtysomething, Million Dollar Baby) and Robert Moresco (Millennium, Million Dollar Baby), comes The Black Donnellys, a dark drama about four young Irish-American brothers living in New York's notorious Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. The series, narrated by wannabe gangster and compulsive liar Joey "Ice Cream" (Keith Nobbs, Phone Booth) – so named after a childhood incident involving ice cream – tells the story of the brothers' sudden initiation to the organized crime scenes of New York City when they are forced to take on the Italian mob.

The four brothers – Tommy (Jonathan Tucker, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Jimmy (Thomas Guiry, Mystic River, Black Hawk Down), Kevin (Billy Lush, Huff) and Sean (Michael Stahl-David, Uncle Nino) – will do anything to keep each others' backs. The show also stars Kirk Acevedo (Oz, Law & Order: Trial by Jury) as Nicky Cottero, a local mobster, and Olivia Wilde (The O.C.) as Jenny Reilly, a former tomboy and Tommy's secret crush.

NBC's mob drama The Black Donnellys, which had a disappointing premiere a week ago, slumped even further at 10:00 p.m. this Monday night as it posted a 5.1 rating and an 8 share (versus last week's 6.0/10). The results were worse than those for the previous occupant of the Monday-night time slot -- Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

might not be worth getting into if they're going to cancel it Sad

This is so gay but I do enjoy it.

It's basically grange hill ('gritty' kids drama) set in the Goodfella's universe.

It is cancelled due to failing ratings. A shame they rather cancel then to give a show an honest chance to mature. I kinda liked it. Ah well NBC...
