Preliminary (8/12 eps)
This series by no stretch of the imagination is appropriate for youngsters. I mean, it is chock full of foul language, violence, and no small amount of insinuated sexual activity.

All story is built on conflict. This means that there is a never-ending font of story wrapped up in Ergastulum. There is the main conflict of the struggle of the Twilights not just to survive but to thrive, there is the constant struggle for power between the four mafia families that basically control the streets of Ergastulum.

There is the battle by the resident police force to mamintain order and attempt to control the crime and lawlessness of the area. There is all of that, and there is the personal struggles undertaken by each of the main and supporting characters as they strive to achieve personal goals. There isn’t just one story when it comes to Gangsta.

There are as many stories as there are characters, and each of them is intriguing and enthralling in their own way.

Regardless, it is fantastic. The characters, the story, the setting, all of them are elements that draw you into the lives and the world. It has a good pace and its fair share of twists and turns that keep you guessing as to allegiances and outcomes.

If you have the time and the inclination, you should definitely give it a watch.
