Irene H The Waterfront is exactly the kind of gripping, character-driven drama Netflix needs more of! The writing is sharp, the performances (especially Holt McCallany and Maria Bello) are incredible, and the storyline keeps you hooked with constant twists and tension. It blends crime, family drama, and power struggles in such a believable way — I couldn’t stop watching. The ending left me desperate for a Season 2. There’s so much more to explore with these characters, and the setup for the next chapter is perfect. Please renew this show — it deserves it! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Iolo J More ham than a pig and a dreadful waste of some talented actors. I presume this was developed during the writers' strike because the scripting is awful. You just long for a hurricane to come along and wipe out all these two dimensional characters. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Doc L Not a single decent character in the entire show. I need someone to root fot or at least minimally identify with. This is too grim, Slim. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Jötnär H My first thought, halfway through episode 2: this feels like the writers of Ozark and Bloodline got together for a coke weekend, and this was the product. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Joshua A I made it thru the 1st season but there was too much relationship drama and not enough smuggling for my taste Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Stitch X Personally, I found this show very enjoyable. The story in itself, interesting, based on true story to an extent but also the topics covered from the business aspect, family issues, addiction, etc are very real for many people. I binge watched all 8 episodes right after each other. My only issue/complaint would be with there only being 8 issues, there was too many characters introduced, from back stories, family, other characters, etc. Introducing so many characters, while I do understand that importance of doing so I found it also took away from delivering more of the story cause the show was Introducing us to a character, showing some back story, current drama, etc. The show definitely has potential for a season 2 and beyond. Getting green lit for multiple seasons would really help to develop and deliver the story more. The style of the show is very much in the realm of other popular series recently so lots of potential for a big , even cult following.
