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.

I binge watch this ! Didn’t really like where it went back to the past and present but I guess it was giving the viewer a better understanding of the characters and foundation of the series. But the show overall great , did not like the ending very sad as I started to like some of the characters thinking they had redeem themselves while others did not.

We are trying to watch the last season. I’m scrolling past the young Smurf to get to season 6. WHY would you kill off the main character SMURF? Really dumb. Now I know why show ended. Yawn without Smurf.

Spoiler: Major mistake to kill off Smurf. Every second of flashback to when she was young was wasted screen time. I really loved this show. Enough to binge it twice. The second time around I hit fast forward over every single flashback to young Smurf and it was sooooo much better.

Since the third season, this series has been lost, with no destiny for the characters, and with two timelines, which irritate the alternation of facts. We made a spin-off to show the Smurf bandit.

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.
