Set in an Irish neighbourhood in Providence, the series reflects around two brothers on opposite sides of the law: one a gangster (Jason Isaacs) and the other a politician (Jason Clarke).

i wouldn't say too many people are watching it considering it was cancelled after 13 episodes, but it was watchable.

Watched the first episode when it was on in the States last year. The narration was terrible and really off-putting I found. Didn't go back for a second episode.

I really liked the first episode, but thought it got worse after that. I think I made it to episode 5 before I stopped.
