- Synopsis:
When his mother dies of a heroin overdose, 17-year-old Joshua "J" Cody moves in with his estranged relatives in a Southern California beach town. Heading up their petty crime dynasty is J's manipulative grandmother, Janine "Smurf" Cody, whose ironfisted, velvet-gloved tough love controls her four sons: adopted right-hand man "Baz"; intense, mentally disturbed "Pope": tough, hyperactive Craig: and troubled "Baby" Deran. As J copes with losing his mum, aggressive rivalry between his uncles and a concerned high school teacher, his new family incites more danger, excitement and trouble than he's ever known. Emmy winner Ellen Barkin rules over a fiercely talented ensemble cast in all 10 episodes of this edgy, crime-fueled series based on the award-winning Australian film of the same name. - Actors:

Pretty average - Animal Kingdom: Series 1 review by JR
I imagine the writer of this series saw Point Break (the original with Keanu Reeves, not the cheesy re-make) and thought it was awesome, then went about trying to write this series. Unfortunately it doesn't really hit the mark. It's not terrible, but it lacks the panache and effortless cool of the movie.
The main downfall is most of the characters are fairly unlikeable crooks, who act like big children when they're not committing crime. Even Josh, who is realitively innocent, lacks the charisma to make you care about him. So ultimately it's combination of extreme sports action (not particularly well done) crime action, and family drama that's difficult to care about.
For me it's worth 2.5 stars really, just about watchable if you've got nothing better to do.
