There's not a second of dead space in Wells' tautly directed opener, and barely a second of exposition either.

The overall pace starts to get stalled in neutral or first gear at best. And some of the storytelling can be disjointed.
June 14, 2016
Marinated in its seedy, sweltering setting and fueled by its hyper-masculine antiheroes' reckless behaviors, Animal Kingdom is a welcome adrenaline rush in the typically underwhelming summer season.
August 10, 2016
Despite featuring a cast of mostly unknowns and being developed from foreign-produced source material, the show managed to suck viewers in... with slick production values, fine performances, taut direction and a tension-filled narrative throughline.
