About
If you like warm redemption stories with a crime-comedy edge and a strong Scottish setting, The Angels' Share could hit home; Not for you if you want nonstop laughs or a more serious, grounded tone like Looking for Eric or My Name Is Joe.
Pros: Funny and uplifting; Strong character bonds; Scottish whiskey setting | Cons: Tone can feel uneven; Limited comedy at times; Some may find accents hard
