Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
chipgriffiths I am coming back to revisit this terrific one season show. The catchy whistling theme song is now firmly planted in my auditory cortex. I liked this show immensely when it first aired but always rhetorically wondered: "How did this show not get renewed". In beginning to watch this series again, I have no answer nor even a clue. This show ranks in my Top 5 of all time great shows that got axed without a reason. Donal and Michael are just a notch down from Nick and Eddie. I read one review where the person said to watch at least two episodes before deciding. This series had me with the hand made Gomez Bros Pool Service sign taped on their truck and Donal putting that tune into Michael's head. Priceless. I might watch cable all the time if series were all like "Terriers!"
zceraj After 4 episodes of this show I couldn't believe it got canceled. After 10 episodes I was getting the idea why it was canceled. By the final episode, I had to force myself to watch it. What started out as a fun show about two shabby private detectives trying to make a buck (a show I would watch - a bit NCIS-ish), with a good back story and very likable actors, quickly evolved into a sloppily written and poorly executed moralizing Eco-warrior yawn of a show. For me, what defines a good show is when all the bases are covered and every angle explained. You can't watch a show where the leads keep doing stupid things over and over again, when there are viable and much better alternatives present and obvious. You can't watch a show where the actors keep spewing clichés with very little conviction. Admittedly, the two male leads are actually the best part of the series and deserve a better show and the two female leads are not too shabby either. What betrays them is the writing, over and over again. This is a show that would have gone over well in the 80s and early 90s, but today, with so many awesome, complex and morally ambiguous shows available, not so much. I vote for a redo, with better writers and a much narrower focus.
dfoster-450-162048 The only problems with this show are: 1.) It's called "Terriers" 2.) It's on FX.If this show were called something better and if it was on HBO, Showtime, or a major network, it would have had rating that were through the roof. It is one of the best shows I've watched in long time.The title is terrible. When both my wife and I saw that this show was rated highly on Netflix, we almost still didn't watch it because of the name.Donal Logue and Michael Raymond James are awesome in their roles. I really hope they end up on a similar show. Maybe this time on HBO.
kevhead I was very, very disappointed to see this show was canceled. Logue and James had tremendous chemistry, and you found yourself cheering for every small victory these lovable losers achieved. Most of the minor characters were interesting enough, but a tad generic. The ex-wife who moved on with her life, the confused girlfriend who grew tired of waiting for the ring, the stereotypical villains, etc. I did enjoy Karina Logue as Stephan Dahlwork, Hank's mentally ill sister (and I'm guess, perfectly healthy sister in real-life!). I can't wait to see what Logue and James do next, although I'm doubtful either will find an acting partner who will complement them better. Logue nails whatever part is given to him, and James seems poised to be an up and coming actor, so I'm confident I will be entertained.
