I tried to like this show but I just couldn't get into it. It's not for a lack of talent (Paymer and Bibb in particular are VERY good). It's just the same old mob family versus the Feds stuff that has been played 7 ways to Sunday by other shows. The scene where the FBI agent/Soccer Mom jumps out of her car to threaten an angry motorist (who's P.O.ed after getting into a fender-bender with Agent Mom's hubby) was a bit too much. Flashing her badge and screeching "FBI!" as she forces the motorist's face into the dirt to quell the situation was kind of an abuse of the badge and my believability. Strong female character? Yes! Over-the-top macho chick? Doesn't do any favours for anyone.Making her hubby feel like an impotent toad who can't even stand up for himself was sort of lame in itself.
The cast is great but this premise already feels old and worn. Wish I could get into it but that's just not going to happen.
