Yet another show where nothing makes sense. All I can say is hire a few writers or put it on the shelf.If you like strange people doing stupid things with no explanation, then this show is for you.If you like a story, well, turn the channel.

Not my cup of tea. I watched it because it's Canadian and I just finished watching Cardinal which I loved. Anna Paquin was awful and miscast as was the dude who plays her ex (the Irish guy from Downton Abbey) and don't get me started on the Uncle/police boss. I have stayed with it to the end but only because I always finish what I start. Not convincing at all - none of the acting roles, plot lines or, well any of it really. Most disappointed.

Bellevue takes place in a northern Ontario mining town ringed by mountains of slag. It's a disturbing environment. It's a dying town, and the characters are all caught up in desperation. Not a happy place, nor populated by happy people. When a local hockey hero goes missing, a hero who evokes mixed emotions in that he is transgender, it galvanizes the town in the way small towns often are. Anna Paquin (The Piano, True Blood), Canadian born but New Zealand raised, plays a local detective with a complex and intriguing past who takes on the case with great enthusiasm, and does so brilliantly. The supporting cast is also uniformly good. This show treads the blurry line between just eerie and supernatural. Think of it as Twin Peaks relocated to the north. Saying much more would be risking spoilers. It's not light entertainment, which might explain earlier poor reviews, yet it really is a work of art. Treat yourself if you are so inclined.

I don't really understand why it has a 6.7 from 94 people, didn't anybody watch this show and just some haters gave it a low rating? It had only one episode yet, those reviews are also the reason for my review.From the other reviews I expected the show to start really slow or with bad actors, but everything is good enough for a TV show and the story is not so different from the very good first season of True Detective.I'm only bothered by some little things like why would you go in there alone in the dark, you know what I mean, but the story makes up for that, a lot happens and it's not slow at all. I would maybe give it a 7.5 but I'll round it up to 8, because I truly am curious about the next episode.
