Falcone, while not perfect, is an engaging series that CBS is running as a miniseries Read full review

Falcone is not instantly involving - it takes a little while to sort out who's who - but gets better with each episode. Read full review

Worth watching. ... The domestic drama isn't quite so compelling as the cops-and-robbers stuff but takes some of the edge off of its intensity. [4 Apr 2000]

If you've never seen "The Sopranos" -- and haven't seen "Goodfellas," "Donnie Brasco" or some of the other morally ambiguous mob tales -- you may well consider it exciting television. Well acted and occasionally trusting the audience not to need everything spelled out for it, it could fairly be called a pretty good watch. [3 Apr 2000]

I just sat through most of the nine episodes of Falcone. And I’m here to report that I would rather be the victim of a mob-related hit than watch/read/endure one more Joe Pistone (aka Donnie Brasco, aka Falcone)-related saga. Read full review

The show is so far removed from the standard set by "The Sopranos." It just doesn't get off the ground. [4 Apr 2000]

Characters are indistinguishable from each other and forced to either mutter or shout cliched New Yawk dialogue. And the editing moves the action from one scenario to another at such an exaggerated pace that nothing gets a chance to truly resonate. Read full review
