This show is absolutely hilarious, old west humor at its best. The Sheriff his Deputy and all regular supporting roles are well played and seem to have a good time doing it. The sets are well constructed to give it that old west feel that you'd expect. I consider it to be like Blazing Saddles meets Gunsmoke with a Maverick twist. Too bad it was never shown on network TV it would have been a hit. My dad has been in law enforcement for over 25 years and he actually said he liked it and found it funny. He always liked westerns and comedies and this show is a perfect combination of the two. I sure wish that more seasons would be made.
... View MoreI am having withdrawal waiting for another season of quickdraw but,I loved hemlock grove and saw it cancelled. I've read the gripes about it which come off as arrogant and silly at best. Girls.griping it's sexist ,critics saying it's too silly I'm sick and tired of.seeing great shows start and stop over and over.if you don't like it then.don't watch it and stop messing it up for those of us who enjoy shows brave enough to be different.The woman are strong characters and if you pay attention you see they are in charge.the black republican ladies are fantastic and again strong female leads.every actor plays their roles to perfection and are a joy to watch It seems as if they enjoy what they're doing and I hope the nay Sayers don't have me losing another great show.
... View MoreLemme break it down for you left-brained folks out there. It is a comedy western. 2 genres in one ! I love improvisational comedy a la curb your enthusiasm, and QD is just as funny. John Lehr is really funny, and I give major props to all those involved with the series. I am a huge fan of Netflix and Hulu for their caliber of programming. It's almost as if they think their viewers are more intelligent and would appreciate quality programming. I binge- watched all the episodes, and paid for it by showing up sleepy-eyed to work the next day. What else can I say ? Watching this show will make you happier than you have ever been in your entire life !
... View MoreNo idea what to expect from this, but definitely enjoyably weird.Basically it's the humour of Curb, Spinal Tap et al transplanted to the Old West.The set up has an Ichibod Crane feel to it, urban educated sheriff brings his city ideas to the backwards west, but it really works. All the cast play it nicely, lots of sharp, deadpan lines, with the undertaker (Bob Clendenin) especially good.The whole thing has an almost homemade quality to it, which is great. It doesn't feel like anyone tried to get them to soften the edges and it's all the better for it.Amidst all the bland stuff out there I do hope it lasts.
