The Black Donnellys
Family above all.
Created by Paul Haggis, Bobby Moresco
On NBC
A gritty, darkly comedic crime drama centered on Irish-American brotherhood, where family loyalty drives the brothers into organized crime and moral compromise.
Meet the Donnelly brothers: Tommy, Jimmy, Kevin and Sean. There is nothing these four Irish brothers wouldn't do to protect each other, and for them that means lying, cheating, stealing and, occasionally, calling the cops. Narrated by wannabe gangster Joey "Ice Cream," this gritty series bears witness to the Donnelly brothers' sudden involvement in organized crime, focusing on how they go from boys to mobsters, and showing how their new life affects their relationships with friends, family and lovers.
