A friend told me to watch this show, Great Kills. Gotta say, The title and the poster, I was sure I was being pranked. But it made sense after watching the pilot. This show is a super funny mockumentary like the Office only real dark.
It definitely had a little budget and has technical problems. But, that's kind of the point. The acting is so real. The star is the best. Dead pan, hard core, real. Scary as hell and completely believable. And even though this guy is a killer, somehow, the people making the documentary are much worse. They watch him kill people and will literally ask him if he can do it again because their shots were off. They all get into these fights and it's nuts. You keep thinking the hit man is just gonna off them.
I have watched these obscure off the beaten track shows before, out of curiosity. Usually the acting is sketchy at best. But they managed to find really good people who I never heard of.
The girlfriend is really funny. The Grandma is top notch. The detective friend is solid. Also, the client that hires the hit man is a perfect idiot. I laughed out loud.
There's a pretty simple story line. Not too complicated. I guess if it was a more expensive HBO show they would have done more with that. But it still works because even when it gets heavy, it stays funny. No word on a second season but it left things open for one.
