I mean, it is pretty stereotypical by the book. Crazy brother who us not meant to lead because he's a loose cannon. Wayward Americanized son returns to save the day. Ailing father dies before telling son he wants him to lead. Main character will probably be tempted and cheat on wife. Rebellious kids.I'm actually surprised that critics are bashing this show. They're calling it a stereotypical portrayal of people? Kind of a stupid criticism since there are tons of shows with stereotypes and clichés. If it was set in a European, Latin American, or Asian country they wouldn't be complaining about stereotypes.
What I do agree about is how his wife is unrealistically naive. She seems dumb as rocks. She's probably the reason their son developed into an absolute idiot. He needed to get punched instead of slapped.
Stupid annoying wives and usually dumb annoying daughters. That **** is permeating all of the new series on tv. I don't know it's like these writers don't know what else to do when it comes to writing a family and having the children play a part in it whether it's major or just secondary; Homeland, Ray Donovan, Breaking Bad, The Americans, etc. These shows either have one or the other, some have both :xIs there a trend of stupid wives/lead female characters in recent shows?
It's really irritating to see it in this show and Ray Donovan.
The wire was based on stereotypes.
The sopranos was based on stereotypes.
This is based on stereotypes
The actor playing Barry is clearly Anglo. This was my first time seeing it and I could tell off the bat so I could see why Middle Eastern viewers would be upset. You have a white male coming to save the day again.
As for the show itself, it's OK so far. Surprised that they actually showed children getting executed. FX doesn't pull any punches (looking at you AMC).
