The TVI Take
Blake Masters's 2006-08 Showtime drama about two brothers (Jason Isaacs, Jason Clarke) in working-class Providence — one a state representative, the other a criminal returned from a long absence. The structural commitment to letting Rhode Island-specific Irish-American political-and-criminal cognitive material be rendered with documentary specificity is the canonical pre-Breaking-Bad Showtime drama.
Under-watched relative to its structural achievement.
