Irish Mafia,

(S01E05) Was it me or did Tommy Donnelly look borderline stalker crazy sitting across the street from Reilly's Diner Shop waiting for Jenny? If I didn't know his character better, I'd have been certain he was on the verge of assasinating her with a box.

Of course, we all understand two things. Tommy is madly in love with Jenny and Tommy has already crossed that fine line between being a good citizen and being a bad citizen.

This is why he was the absolute last person who needed to hear that Jenny's diner was in the midsts of a cash crisis because her dad can't tell the difference between a giant blue box that says U.S. Postal service and the night deposit drawer at his local bank. I wonder if he hails hot dog cart vendors when he needs a cab...idiot.

(S01E03) Let me be the first to say, I'm tired of show recaps. I'm referring to that first two to three minutes of a show where, in this instance, Joey Ice Cream rants about what happened in the first few episodes.

I realize it serves a purpose. It helps loyal but forgetful viewers recall what happened in previous weeks and it helps newcomers catch up on the show if they're just getting into it. I understand all that, but being an extremely impatient person I find recaps annoying.

However, I do applaud this show's intro. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang - done. If there's a category for "Most Concise Show Intro" at the Emmys this year, The Black Donnellys will win hands down.

Of course, that would probably be the only category they'd win...
