Finestkind

This was way better than I expected. Had the plot not gone a little off to the bend and become slightly contrived and hand waved, this would have easily been a 8 or 9. Absolutely adored the first half, absokutely golden. Well worth a watch at the very least. Better than most. Had it kept things a bit more centered it would have really been something great.

The earnestness, from the characters to the depiction of working class Boston, and even the romance felt well done and rare. The performances were all pretty solid too. Not stand out, but not a bad one in the bunch either. The family aspect of it really brought the performances together, for me.
