Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For those who are waiting for The Untouchables to come out on DVD (don't hold your breath!)here is something almost as satisfying--The Lawless Years. It's only a half hour show, and there's less 'violence', but this show definitely has the same flavor of the times as The Untouchables and James Gregory is superb as Gangster Squad detective, Barney Ruditsky. In fact, many of the best character actors of the early 60s who have appeared on The Untouchables also guest star on The Lawless Years. However, Robert Stack does NOT make an appearance as Eliot Ness. That would have been perfect since James Gregory has guest starred on The Untouchables, but the person who wrote that is mistaken.
I hope the second season of this show will soon be released, it's well worth it. You won't be disappointed with this one, they cover all the gangsters of the era, though some names have been changed, but you will be able to guess who they are.
Don't let the garish sepia tone (more burnt orange than sepia) keep you away from viewing this show. Perhaps they tinted it to distinguish it from the crisp black and white noir of The Untouchables. But you will get so absorbed in the show you will soon get used to the unusual color tint.
