Season one was exciting but had many flaws. It's cast except Dope Dirisu wasn't plausible and at times cringe worthy. Sean's brother was so out of place that it was hard to watch. Sean himself is hardly a gangster character and comes across as a weak school bully that real bullies laugh at. Sean's Mother.. really? The story has a quite real feeling in some places and in others extreme fantasy that cancels out the initial reality feel. I mostly enjoyed season one with it's originality that surpassed it's flaws. I was looking forward to season 2 with semi established characters being molded into hard hitting recognised characters that had grown and developed into their roles, but no, quite the opposite. Even less plausible with even less plausible characters added to an even less plausible story. This was something I wanted to like and appeals to my favorite genre but felt so let down.
