Finished this teleplay from Frank Darabont. While it's great seeing William Parker and Mickey Cohen in the show, this pilot focuses on other characters that aren't so interesting.
We get the story of Joe Teague a cop who's playing both sides. In the end, we see he does a favor for Bugsy Siegel who's never seen. While it's nice to name-drop, it would be much better to actually focus on these gangsters.
Teleplay's a bit slow and uninvolving. It takes its time and doesn't contain much action. Since it's Darabont, I'm sure the plot will pick up in the next installments but this pilot on its own isn't much to write home about.
