    3 gripping stories that make a change from the usual mind numbing drivel on tv. Shame its been stopped after 3 series due mainly to greed as usual as its not a massive hit. Sundance decided we need more repeats of MASH and Law and Order instead of something new like this... like all the other channels showing these programs isn't enough! Luckily each series is its own story so worth watching

    Now where is the third season because I already want it to start now!!! This season was sad bc of subject matter but Hap and Leonard make it okay and put a smile on my face. I dont know who thought to have these two actors together but really a stroke of genius or/and luck. Thank you!!! now go make a third season.

    This show intrigued us from the start and it didn't disappoint. The casting of James Purefoy and Michael Williams as Hap and Leonard as two bickering yet loyal buddies sets the tone for some interesting and entertaining adventures. Hap and Leonard reminds us of how important casting is to any successful production.The show is peppered with some dark humour yet serious and brutal enough to include some bloody violence. The story line personalities of these two make for some well written and well delivered dialogue between the two individuals.We hope they have many more adventures in the seasons ahead.

    Reviews are ultimately people's opinions. However, there are some criteria that are usually standard for judging the quality of a work. If that were not difficult enough, one can always raise the issue of 'what makes YOU qualified to address the presence or absence of these criteria?" Briefly, I've been an actor, have written and published fiction, have studied the nature of narrative, characterization, story, plausibility, and overall aesthetic design. Hap & Leonard fall short in most of these categories. The episodes often have no suspense. Nothing to keep a unity of narrative together. The dialogue is at times trivial, sounding like an unscripted conversation--but boring ones. That is not how stories work. Stories distill life; they don't record it. Once the relationship between Hap & Leonard is established, there is nothing to develop. The conversations between and among the pair and when talking with others is not dramatic. There is some discussion about anti-war movements, protests, serving/not serving in the military. However, these are not dramatic. They are dull and nebulous. None of the characters appear committed to their credos. Then there is the issue of plausibility. I read a good description of storytelling. It is the job of the writer to make the improbable plausible, and the plausible inevitable. To do so requires a talent for dramatic action and good characterization. Nothing in the first season made me feel as though anyone had a commitment to the story. It remained a draft of a series. Joe Landsdale aside, the screenwriters just couldn't get it together.
