Last King of the Cross

Very well done I didn't know much about the brothers but as a TV show it's well done, if you're a fan of sopranos and raw crime series this one is for you. Good character development especially with Sam and his battles. I enjoyed it very much, great performance by Tim Roth as well, can't wait for season 2 ! Great characters and performances all around Also they had it go to many places and not just solely focused on the brothers story line, it's slick, but with a throwback vibe to it. Also the cross looked pretty accurate I stayed there for a few months in the 2000s brings back some fun memories, Can't wait for season 2 !

This show tries to make you feel for the two brothers while they go and murder everyone else. It's just irritating and completely annoying. At first in the 1st or 2nd episode you like the brothers, but then later episodes they are portrayed as this "Good" guy but actually they're even worse than the "Viet," gang. I mean I guess they killed off John's gf or side girl whatever she was but she barely had any screen time and when she did, it was mostly * scenes. This show tried to push her death as more impactful but it doesn't because most of her scenes are sex scenes. It's like watching a random character die, you don't feel bad for. Wish they hadn't killed the Viet lady off, could've done so much more with her character but I guess it was the only way since they killed off her whole family just because for stupid reasons.

God awful Big Money Thrown Tv series from upside down land. Torture. Watching weight "session". FF it. Those Abraham Bros get in some scrapes. Based on some Weird Swept Away Hair Fantasy The Cross is all it's billed, Crucifixion please. We have tart with heart. Tragic hero druggie. And Many More. OK some money has been spent but that Main Street used so often is criminal. Story is the whole is rotten stay home with your cable TV. Done very badly. It's part of a wave of dismissal TV that has to be expected. All that bandwidth has to be filled.with the length of it each episode an hour it's just not going to be watched. You find yourself fast forwarding that he's at any opportunity. I gave up the three episodes and he only watched half of each one. Sorry if you if you watch this invest the time in .....it it's rubbish Thrill and stay up at night doing something else I wouldn't watch this. For the New breed of Australian actors this is the kiss of death.

It's not often I'm compelled to write reviews but this is baffling me. I am failing to see what other reviewers have found so appealing in this series. I don't feel an affinity with any of the characters and to be honest, the two brothers who are central to the narrative get on my nerves. I'm on episode 6 and if either of them got slotted it would be no great loss. Tim Roth appears to think he can go through his post Tarantino acting career playing the same unconvincing character in every production (see Tin Star and Lie to Me). He seems to think that 'can't be a****d chic' is in some way suave and intriguing but in reality it's just bland and tiresome. I really couldn't care who ends up running the drug trade, if the bent coppers get caught or if Godzilla wades through Kings Cross and eats the Hell's Angels. They're all one dimensional, badly written, ill thought out caricatures of so many drab and dreary, plastic gangsters from so many straight to DVD, bargain bin flops. Quite honestly I'm annoyed I've invested the time to reach episode 6. I can only hope and pray that a fleet of alien craft descend to take control of earth's resources and enslave the.... Wait, that's Independence Day. A cliche with watchability. Anyway, just felt I had to enunciate my complete and utter distain for this facile and uninspired journey into drudgery and despair. Feel free to retort...

Episode 1 starts off very well, going back to John's and Sam's childhood and progresses to show how John managed to buy his first club and house. Great! It is set out to look like this will be a show about how John Ibrahim grew his nightclub empire in the Cross which would be quite exciting to see. But after about ep2 it is no longer about John - it is about everyone else but him. Cops, Vietnamese drug dealers, feds, bikies, low lifes, royal commission etc. John shows up in each episode but may as well not. The show would be exactly the same without him in it. He is just in it because, well, he is in it. There is so much more on what's happening with Sam for example than there is on John. So really a show about the Cross itself, not so much about its 'King'. Regardless, it has been an enjoyable watch and so much better than the Underbelly version. Would be keen to see how they close it off.

I didn't know about watching the show at first I didn't think the show was going to be interesting or good after watching the trailer cause I have never heard of the people the show is supposed to be about or based on But then decided to watch and found the show to be quite enjoyable and entertaining and found myself wanting to watch to find out what happens next just wish paramount had just released all episodes at once instead of once a week every Friday. Overall it's a pretty good show so far something different to watch. I would recommend watching this show and giving it a try even if you think it's not going to be interesting.

Could have been so much better. The actors doing the best they can with the cringe worthy writing. I also felt like the show was all over the place with the timeline. Not even a decent soundtrack to really put you in that period of time. Loved Tim Roth in this..would have loved to have seen more of his role. And that nightclub scene where John Ibrahim gives the pep talk to the night club staff is straight out of an episode of Power! This made me lol hard. I ended up watching the Underbelly season - Golden Mile which was interesting even with all the unnecessary rude scenes. This could have been so much better.

This Australian TV series has taken the world by storm, and it's not hard to see why. The storyline is incredibly captivating and the characters are so well-developed that you can't help but become emotionally invested in their lives. One of the standout aspects of the series is the portrayal of ethnic gangsters. It's a topic that's not often explored in mainstream media, but the show does an excellent job of shedding light on the issue while still maintaining a gripping and engaging narrative. The ultimate test of brotherhood that the gangsters face adds an extra layer of depth to the show and makes it all the more intriguing. Tien and her gang are equally fascinating. Her tough and commanding presence on the screen is hard to ignore, and I found myself wanting to know more about her backstory and how she became the formidable leader that she is. The portrayal of Vietnamese gangsters is a welcome addition to the show and adds an extra layer of diversity to the cast of characters. Overall, I can't wait to see where the show goes in season 2. I'm eagerly anticipating seeing more of Tien and her gang and how they will fit into the larger narrative. This Australian TV series is definitely one to watch, and I highly recommend giving it a chance.
