SnoopyStyle Marta Walraven (Radha Mitchell) comes from a crime family, and when her husband is gunned down, she finds herself entangled by his underworld business. Crime boss Nicholae Schiller (Goran Visnjic) blames her husband for stealing his drugs, and forces her to work for him. It turns out that her brother Irwin Petrov (Wil Traval) was actually the one who stole the drugs.All the underworld crime drama isn't anything new. But in order to get involved, there has to be some rooting interest. The fact is there is nobody likable. Every character is problematic, even the kids. The girl is clueless. The boy is annoyingly idiotic. The family is completely dysfunctional. So who cares what happens to these people. Certainly not me.

desertsunflower99 So here it is, fine. I return to the IMDb, after some months -- or is it years?? Planning to make comments about a specific "Red Widow," character (irwin). But then the, IMHO, totally inaccurate ratings score, for the whole series, so far?? its bogus. It caught my attention. And what was that number??..I FREAKED OUT!!, lol! Because, WTF?? Reason??: the IMDb rating/score, was way too low!! Again, because, IMHO, this TV series is not anything less than AWESOME!! Newbies? Do NOT believe the seemingly eligible or the hype, that the moms demographic, is true! It is NOT!!.. And it's not their fault, OK.?? Because, maybe yes, I'm just a random video participating human movie director/producer who could use - in a gazillion different ways - a ratings boost? Fine. But plz. don't judge me & also pray the sincerity my super sincere coaches is easily revealed.

ara l I want to like this show but I just can't. I watched the premier which was 2 hours and Sundays 1 hour episode. There is no cliff hanger / edge of your seat feeling with this show. It's dull to me. I want to like it but just cannot. Unfortunately, I think this will be cancelled. There are too many shows out there that by episode 3 have you wrapped into the show. Issues:Characters have not been developed to the point the audience is invested in them emotionally. They do not go very deep.The acting is poor by many characters. Just not believable.There is no cliff hanger what so ever. The son saw the red stripe on the bottom of a shoe at one point and had a flash back - we should have been excited by this but it seemed to blah to me.The story line could be interesting but they just do a poor job in developing the script into action. This show will definitely be cancelled.They director/producer should watch Homeland / Lost / etc -- get some tips - come back and produce a show. These are the shows you are up against. If you don't compare or better yourself than those - ppl will get bored. And my guess is, anyone watching Red Widow is someone who would also be into Homeland, Lost, etc etc. Try again.

pac614 I was "held hostage" to this premiere of Red Widow for the whole 2 hours! It will be one show I will be watching every week as long as it is on! Hopefully it will remain on the air. Seems as though every new show I get involved in is cancelled - maybe this one will make it even tho the ratings on IMDb do not reflect my opinion.This show is about a married woman with a family, who was not aware of the depth her husband was involved in with the Mob and is left with a debt that has to be paid back after her husband is brutally murdered or there will be consequences to her and her family. She has relatives involved in the Mob and she goes to them for advice.
