"I loved this series and was sorry to see it end. We follow the Cody family, a dysfunctional crime family in southern California, led by their matriarch, Smurf. The best thing about this show was the character development, it's brilliantly executed over time. Layer upon layer is slowly revealed as we delve deeper into their world. Secrets, betrayals, power grabs, heists, and murders. No one is safe as everyone has a sense of self preservation that is greater than their family bond. Highly recommended. 9.5/10"
"Animal Kingdom is such a wild ride! I am finishing the last season but goodness! The crime, the family over everything mindset, the hot people and the surfing/beach life?! It’s a vacation. It’s fun. It’s thrilling. If you haven’t seen it already, watch immediately! (Just be prepared to ask yourself many questions about Smurf for a few seasons)! "
"I unexpectedly really liked this show. Despite adrenaline overload and bad guys that we are rooting for vibes, it’s a family drama.
It’s a tragic story of what it’s like to be raised by a psychopath.
It’s well written and very well acted.
I really liked the casting of the younger versions of main characters. There are some plot holes that can be easily overlooked, but the story as a whole holds well. I am sure I will come back to it sometime in a future. "
