[The] daunting themes remain off screen here, leaving only a series of monotonous conversations and shoot-outs.December 05, 2013
The new TV noir series Mob City looks great. Set in 1940s Los Angeles, it's darkly beautiful. And it could turn out to be a pretty great show, given a bit of time.December 04, 2013
It may tell an ugly tale, but Mob City is gorgeous.December 05, 2013
Mob City takes its time to lock and load, but its aim ultimately improves.December 03, 2013
Expect to put in some work, or at least pay close attention, if you want to appreciate Mob City.December 04, 2013
I don't want to give the impression that Mob City is a great noir. It's just adequate, but adequate noir can really enliven an otherwise tedious gangster story.December 04, 2013
Viewers who decide to enjoy Mob City as it unfolds will probably appreciate it throughout, even if it doesn't build eventually to a satisfactory payoff.December 03, 2013
Mob City at best is barely above average drama from a guy who presumably is still capable of far better.December 05, 2013
There's a definite cinematic element to the show in general. A snazzy sheen to the proceedings.December 05, 2013
Filled with scenes of characters speaking in hushed tones over long cigarette drags in dimly lit rooms, Mob City has the film-noir style down pat.December 05, 2013
[It] comes across as larger than life and a little empty, maybe because the tropes it's built on are so well worn they're almost impossible to read as anything other than parody.December 05, 2013
Everyone and everything looks great, and both characters and storylines are suitably twisty and gritty.
