Every time it threatens to recede into tedium because of its overwriting, a performer brings it back. Hinds and Gillen are perfectly cast as opposing Godfathers, but the show really belongs to the next generation, giving most of its screen time to the younger Kinsellas. Keely and Scanlan are strong, and Cox will have his fans even if his performance can feel a little too low-key at times, but it’s Clare Dunne who really walks away with “Kin.” Read full review

Ultimately, Kin isn’t going to reinvent the wheel, or offer much beyond some solid direction and the familiar beats of a mob potboiler. (There is a wrinkle to Cox’s character introduced in episode three that suggests there may be at least one semi-novel element to this story.) Instead, it’s simply an opportunity to watch some gifted actors do what they do, very well, with a story that glides along in entertaining but unoriginal manner. ... The performances keep Kin engaging. Read full review

Kin starts a bit muddled but the performances and story setup give us a good feeling that the tension will ratchet up as the series goes along. Read full review

Starts off slow and slightly generic... stuff starts going down, and it sucked (pun not intended -- you'll see what I mean) me in. I mostly liked the cinematography and the Irish accents before the story became gripping. There's some good crime family drama and action once you get past theStarts off slow and slightly generic... stuff starts going down, and it sucked (pun not intended -- you'll see what I mean) me in. I mostly liked the cinematography and the Irish accents before the story became gripping. There's some good crime family drama and action once you get past the first few episodes. Until then, just be patient and try to catch what everyone is saying. It's kind of like a slow burn that tries to go nuclear at the end.

The acting by everyone is top notch. The cinematography is great. The story is mostly good right up until the end. The show takes a hard feminist turn in the last few episodes and ends with a finish that made me laugh out loud. It's very obvious they had a goal with the story (making it about a female outsmarting all the males and rising to the top of a crime family) but didn't make it believable. I went with it up until the last couple episodes. There are too many coincidences and way too much to orchestrate -- in about 3 episodes she turns into a genius criminal mastermind. There's stuff that's orchestrated where she just knows things and things just happen perfectly for it to all be part of her master plan. The twist at the end is so ridiculous I couldn't help but laugh out loud. It's typical feminist stuff where the men just can't think of anything and have to go to her for all the ideas. There's even this point where I'm saying out loud what they need to do, and yet one of the males has to ask her what to do, and she says what I'm saying out loud. It's obvious stuff.

If you can overlook the feminist stuff and the ridiculous ending, good for you. There's some good stuff here otherwise. I only watched it because Charlie Cox is in it, and he was great in Daredevil. He's good in this too, but don't let the show's cover fool you -- this is about the woman standing behind and to the left of him -- they just use him to get you to think he's the main character so you'll watch it. It's one of those disguise things the feminists do these days. Too bad they had to ruin it. *sigh*… Expand
