I Do Love Me Some Of That Irish Mob

Okay, so due to a combination of persistent reccomendations and all-consuming boredom, I caved and watched the pilot of The Black Donnellys. And it's pretty damn good.

The basic premise is that these four Boston Irish brothers (named Jimmy, Tommy, Kevin and Sean... Stereotyping? You decide) get into scrapes. But, like, really hardcore scrapes. With heroin and guns and robbery and stuff. We have the badass brother, the slutty brother, the comedy fool brother and the good brother who will inevitably be dragged down by his other, naughtier brothers. Now, this may sound cliched and heinous, but the execution is slightly more subtle than it sounds.

Anyway, I pretty much liked all four of the brothers, and Jonathan Tucker is HAWT. I really do seem to have a thing for pale freckly guys. With cheekbones. Who may or may not be wearing blusher.

I also found this

And they used Arcade Fire. I heart it.

Ach. 'Rebellion' was one of the things about the show that really hit me in the gut in a good way. It just fit so perfectly. Never mind.

I feel like I should write to NBC(?) all like "Hi, I've been watching your show illegally, and I don't even live in America, but please don't cancel it!"
