Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
cheeftanz OK, I understand why many people may like this series. But with so much great television and a desire to minimize tube time Quarry will never make the cut.At 50 years I demand that old racial tension baiting themes that have been a brutal and pointless drum beat since I was 6 and "Roots" came out have lost any ridiculous charm in the half century... the BS must end. Unsavory low of lowest hanging fruit. Lets move on with fresh material or racial harmony... I am over-saturated.All films or television with racial subjugation are now over-exploited, seriously boring and maybe quite harmful as a society that needs to unite. I want to escape! And not be beaten or bored with non-sense of poo stirring stupidity.
Bill Schreiner Haven't been this excited about a show after the first episode since Breaking Bad. The acting, directing, writing are top-notch. I have high hope that the talent that pulled together the first episode has the stuff to carry through a whole series. The two leads are terrific. I am thrilled that the director is allowing scenes to play out in a natural rhythm and that the writer knows when to count on a visual instead of words.
greenwhich It is like a bunch of millennials sit around patting themselves on the shoulder thinking how can we insert our millennium into other history. That result is just painfully convoluted as it tries to hit every demographic, but completely misses any point. That point was Crime set in the 70s, the music was good when it had its beats, but you tell me that demographic and that market, and there is no amount of fake news going to tell me otherwise. Not some new age marriage counseling trying to hit couples, gays, children and who knows what else.This show was wrong, it failed on many of its expectations towards that content, because that message got obscured into something else completely different, and there are a million other shows doing that other job. There were so many times throughout this series where you literally get so annoyed at it, shouting shut up, or you simply turn it off fast forwarding it onto the next scene.I didn't even watch the ending episode, I fast forwarded all of it, because it had run out of crime, so it then jumps to war, mixing up that genre to make a father Christmas, or a guardian general and I couldn't even tell you what that was about, because I simply didn't care for its beach bum, that's right built their own swimming pool.Yawn and Yawn. But if some how you like taking the missus to a crime show, and then getting bombarded with counseling, go ahead and enjoy. If not, avoid it at all costs, because this show simply isn't going to be your genre.
James Smith This show totally surprised me, and continues to do so.What I like about Quarry, apart from the great acting, scripts and realism, is the fact I have no idea what is going to happen in each episode.The fight scenes and violence are truly realistic, and the car chase in one of the earlier episodes raised the bar in car chases. It was as if Quarry had strapped a GoPro to his head and then really rammed and taken on his opponents car. It was that realistic.It isn't all action, and the writers seem to use the time allotted carefully, to flesh out their characters, enhance the story and normally build to a crescendo for the ending.I think this series needs much more publicity, because it is such a hidden gem.
