After a heroin overdose kills his mom, Joshua "J" Cody moves to Southern California to live with his freewheeling relatives. The family's matriarch is J's estranged grandmother, Janine "Smurf" Cody, from whom he's been shielded for years. J soon finds out the reason for the isolation -- Smurf and "her boys" make their livings through carefully planned armed robberies and other criminal activities. Prominent perpetrators include Smurf's three sons: mentally disturbed ex-con Pope, hyperactive drug user Craig, and suspicious Deran. In order to stay alive, J must prove loyal to his beguiling grandmother, who rules with a borderline-incestuous love.

It's a lurid, overheated drama, for sure, but I never miss an hour. The acting is BIG.

Even with all of the lies and cheating and occasional murder, there's still something serene about watching Craig count money while having a beer on the beach with his brothers.

Smurf has got even more secrets than we thought. Who's Javier and why is she paying for Manny's care? And why did Manny have all those audio tapes? I'm looking forward to find out where that story leads.

Although the dramatic thrust of Animal Kingdom's second season could have been handled with a little more patience and grace, the premiere still served as an exciting way to push the action and advance the story forward.

6/10

When your characters are all addicts with disordered personalities, you have a fundamental narrative problem-and I think that's what I ran up against with Animal Kingdom. Sociopaths and narcissists do not change. Like, ever. They can't.

Começa com um ritmo lento e irritante, mas melhora com o despertar dos personagens e com o contexto. O final da temporada te dá um gancho de fritar o cérebro para a próxima temporada.

Very underrated show! All 6 seasons were fun to watch, the entire family is messed up and it's great learning more and more about each character as the seasons go on. Plenty of action and heists, alot of back stabbing and betrayel.

Muy buena temporada, la vi super rápido ya que todos los espisodios te da la acción y drama necesiaria para querer seguir viendo.

Exciting show - an effective combination of action/heist/crime drama. They do the heists particularly well - had me on the edge of my seat a few times. The whole family dynamic is horrifying with Ellen Barkin's chilling portrayal of the family matriarch. I was happy to see other interesting women characters being introduced this season and the flashbacks are interesting.
