The Westies stars J.K. Simmons and Tom Brittney clap back at fan complaints that new MGM+ mob crime thriller is 'too tame' — 'we can't put everything in the trailer'
The first two episodes of new MGM+ crime drama The Westiesare now streaming, but strap in — we've still got another six installments to go.
