Get Shorty (the series)

Have just discovered and binged on this little gem courtesy of Now TV. There are three series and it is slightly reminiscent of Breaking Bad or The Sopranos in that it is a criminal trying to stay one step ahead of his rivals and the police but takes itself slightly less seriously than either of those.

The cast, led by Chris O’Dowd as an Irish heavy (!) trying to leave his organised crime links behind to make it as a Hollywood producer, is really excellent and the scripts are great.

It’s not clear if there will be another season so I am trying to get the word out and drum up some support in my very limited way 🤣. So check it out or if you have already seen it let me know what you thought.

Loved it!

Nice to see Ray from Everybody Loves Raymond in another role!

I never watched Everybody Loves Raymond but he was so good in this, a really fantastic actor, I mean his relationship with Amara, Miles, the Feds, his Dad, they were all abusive (with him as the victim) and yet he never seemed broken and had genuine affection for Amara. I liked it how happy he was in the cushy prison, and yet his hair lost its verticality, I bet he could still have got hair gel and dryer in cushy prison!
