Rreally liked this show,no, it's not the Sapranos,it's not the Godfather,it happens to be a "semi-fictional account" of life inside the mob as told by an FBI agent who actually lived his life with these people,.of course he could not put everything in with the time cbs gave him, but I think Mr. Pistone did a fantastic job considering I've only heard the other side of the story, but have seen nothing like this! The truth may not be stronger than fiction,but with the time limit he had to deal with, I think Pistone did a great job, the actors were too pretty,"but that only helped" I suggest you read the book, if you've seen the series, before you review this show,you may just want to take a second look!!!!

I have yet to be in agreement with the CRITICS who make or break a show. I, and everyone I spoke to that watched Falcone thought it was an extremely well cast and played series. All of us were excitingly hoping it would become a weekly series. I think this series, especially while not being shown on PAY TV, where the x-rated language would have had a more definite impact on todays audience, still gave us a dramatic look into the world of "WISEGUYS" and GOODGUYS. As for Joe Falcone, played by Jason Gedrick, I know guys who look like high schoolers who are in his field. Titus Welliver was excellent and Lillo Broncato was superb, as was Sunny Marinelli. When isn't Eric Roberts right on. The remaining cast were all to be congratulated. I know Falcone has been compared to the highly acclaimed Sopranos, which I never miss and am addicted to, but take away the language and who knows where that show might be.

I don't watch much tv. But, I could not stay away from Falcone. Titus Welliver was excellent as Sonny. His facial expressions were a big part of great acting. His character was well written, he had a heart of gold, but, yet was ruthless. I thought all of the characters and the actors portraying them were a winning combination. If CBS knows what it's doing, which I wonder sometimes, they will keep this show on, but with the original cast. I personally don't see anyone else playing those particular characters. When it comes out on video, I'm buying it.

A great show about FBI agent Joseph D. Pistone, based on the Donnie Brasco story but much better than the movie. All I can say about this show is that it was one of the most underrated series ever. CBS would be crazy to dump it! The storylines were captivating, the acting was intense and fabulous, and the characters had a depth of complexity that you rarely come across on network television. If they ever re-air this show I highly recommend it to everyone!
