I've watched all of The Westies on MGM+ and I'll struggle to remember the new 'real-life' crime drama in a month's time — but I've still learned something new
We're a long way from the likes of The Sopranos and Peaky Blinders here, kids. But The Westies on MGM+ isn't particularly flawed or negative in its execution... it's just really forgettable.

- +Fun, solid storytelling

- -Often quite underwhelming in its action
- -Do I care if there's a second season? Not really
