Animal Kingdom based on the 2010 Australian film of the same name by David Michôd.
You know when some shows have been on for too long? Well that is the case for Animal Kingdom. Seasons one, two and three were great. Season four started to drag, whilst season five was a total drag!
The 1980's flashbacks of early Smurf, really wore thin after a while.
Honestly I am hoping they cut the flashbacks in the final season to air next year.
This episode we saw, the Codys rob the port, but they are discovered and are forced to flee both the man that they are robbing and the police; however, the heist is successful.
This was where the series was heading, it was all over quick smart!
After getting her cut of the money, Frankie leaves the country while Ren, continuing to ignore Craig and living with her cousins, attempts to send a friend to collect both her and Nicky's things only to have Craig refuse.
Enraged at Pete's lies about the cocaine, Pope confronts him with J and rips one of Pete's eyes out as a punishment for his actions, threatening to do worse if he doesn't give them their cut within a week.
The Codys share a family dinner where J and Deran, finally working together as the leaders of the family, outline their plan to sell off Smurf's apartment buildings and buy a series of businesses to launder their money through like J's bowling alley and to everyone's surprise, Deran decides to start laundering money through his bar which had previously been just his legitimate side business.
I really though Deran would hit it off with his new barman. Didn't happen. BOO!
As they celebrate, the police discover a body buried at a new housing development: Catherine Blackwell who has been missing since Pope had murdered her years before.
This show has long past its expiry date. Streaming in Australia week to week on Netflix, season five was a thirteen episode struggle to watch.
Without Smurf (flashback Smurf doesn't count) this series has completely lost its way.
With a very small cliffhanger/plot to set up season six, I wonder what they will do with the final season.
There is a lot to wrap up in the final few episodes, which will likely return next June/July. Until then its a mega busy TV month in October! Plus the movies finally reopens on MONDAY!
