Shut Eye

If you've seen the trailers you are probably wondering what the show is about. The trailers don't show you what is really going on and neither does the synopses for the show outlined on the IMDb page.

You do start by getting a healthy does of a very fictionalized version of gypsy culture in California but the main story line goes beyond that. I don't want to spoil it but there's a twist in the first episode that sets up the rest of the series.

The acting is good. Some of them may make you cringe, but that's the point. That reaction is exactly what they are going for.

This series is a black comedy, the drama and dark undertones will not be for everyone, but if you can appreciate twisted humor this will not disappoint.

I recommend giving it at least one full episode. The first episode starts out slow and you might not understand it until the end, but force yourself to get through it.

By the end of the first episode you will either understand and be ready to take this ride, or you'll be lost and know it's time to move on to something else.

I just binge watched all 10 episodes and it was seriously awesome. Highly recommended for anyone that likes dark comedies or is a fan of these actors.
