Shortly before this show came out, I was chained to a bench in a Chicago Police station, trying to explain to some rather unhappy cops why I'd done what I did, and found myself unable to give any other explanation than the truth: 'The guy took my time! It's not about the guy, or the stuff, or even about right or wrong: this sack of s--- took my time! He took my time! It's gone, and I can't ever get it back. And that's why'.
I'm not ever going to forget the response from the cops, which was an embarrassed silence: every single one of them had thought or said the Exact. Same. Thing. about some dirtbag, or situation caused by some unknown impulse or thing, that spent their entire created existence just wasting other peoples' TIME.
In this show, which honestly plays, for me, much more like a Chicago show than a New York show, I was stunned to see and hear Denis Leary give an impassioned speech, a desperate outburst of dialogue, in a nearly perfect paraphrase of my own raw explosion of hopeless loss... of my TIME.
This is a terrific show. The cancellation was a crime.
Edit: In the movie THE DROP, in the scene where Tom Hardy's character kills Richie, his monologue: 'You make me TIRED'.
TIRED of you. TIRED. Guy made me TIRED. I told the guy that: 'You are making me tired. Stop making me tired.'
You haven't been there, you just don't know. This show nails that. The time, and the tiredness. I'll let it go at that.
