MGM+'s "The Westies" is a flat take on New York's Irish mob

"The Westies" on MGM+ is a crime drama about the Irish mob's involvement in the construction of New York's Javits Center, including during the period when the glass box for Hillary Clinton's 2016 concession was built. Critics find the show flat and unable to turn an intriguing premise into compelling television. The series stars J.K. Simmons.
