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.

Animal Kingdom has proven to be one of the best shows of the summer, and I'm excited to share my Tuesday nights with the Cody family.

The value of opening a season with the death of a major character is not lost on Animal Kingdom, and 'The Killing' very nearly comes away with an episode that was as impactful as the creators intended it to be.

Season three is very tedious, slow and repetitive. No original story, plot lines this the same stuff over and over and over.

Temporada arrastada, nada intrigante nos assaltos praticados pela família Cody. Muito falatório para pouco ação. O animal retrocede em alguns membros da família o que francamente irrita.

A MUST WATCH. This show has to be one of the most underrated shows in history. Each of the 6 seasons are great to watch, each episode offers something and never has you wanting to turn it off. So many layers. A must watch!

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.
