Has anyone watched the series Animal Kingdom? It's based on a true story of a family of criminals.

I got a notice it went on Netflix this week and started watching it 2 nights ago--6 seasons. It started on TNT in '16 and is now on both Netflix and Prime. IMDB rates it 8.2.

I'll start Ep. 4 tonight, but so far it's really good! Rarely does a character creep me out, but the psycho son who plays "Pope" is nailing his part

Not saying it's better, but it's along the lines of Breaking Bad and Ozark.

Anyone else?

Haven't heard of it but BB and Ozark were shows we loved so we'll give a go. Thanks for the heads up

Will check it out, been looking for a good series lately.

Watched the full series on TNT when it first aired. It's based on a 2010 Australian film that itself was based on a true life Australian crime family. Always liked Ellen Barkin ( Sea of Love). Two of the actors are English. Interesting how the story develops.

Same here. Never heard of Animal Kingdom, but I watched both Breaking Bad and Ozark twice. They are really good.

Watched BB multiple times and have a BB theme song ring tone on my cell. Also watched Ozark, Snowfall, and Queen of the South. I'm on my own with all these shows, my wife is more into the Hallmark Channel and HGTV. But she likes nature shows so maybe I can start up Animal Kingdom under that premise and see how long it takes her to bail.

It won't be long LOL

We started it years ago, watched several episodes, then it just kinda faded away, never to be revisited.
YMMV

@Cholo I'm on episode one right now. Yeah, man that character Pope is pretty far out there. Holy cow.

It will be a good series. But like @weaselmeatgravy my wife doesn't like the dark psychological shows either.

And I never would have recognized Ellen Barkin in this show either, wow! Even her voice has changed.

Anytime Hollywood says theirs is the "true story" I have to roll my eyes.

You were right, she tapped out after 20 minutes of episode 1. I'm a few episodes into season 2 now.

Wife & I are about half way through the sixth and final season.

We have enjoyed the show.

I thought that breaking bad was stupid so this one will probably fall into that category as well.

On the last episode, another one I just finished is Waterfront. Both have been entertaining.

Just started it and I'm on S2E12. A train wreck for sure!

If it's as good as Ozark I've got to resubscribe to Netflix

 

[Cholo]

I'm on about the last episode of season 5.

I don't think it's as good as Ozark, but I like it a lot. Season 2 seemed a little slow at first, but it got going. There's lots of Oh ****! moments in future episodes like in Ozark when Darlene Snell shot Del the cartel guy for calling the Snells rednecks

Language warning:

Since I've been laid up with a broken ankle, all I do is watch TV. I started binge watching Animal Kingdom and got hooked. Finished the first 5 seasons in a couple days. Wife would occasionally watch with me but when I was ready for season 6, she said I had to wait so she could watch them. Of course it's on her schedule so I get to wait until she's ready. Interesting that its based on true family. Wife said Pope reminds her of me. I walk around with a scowl on my face.
