Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
dustybclyde Not bad acting good enough sets, Not suspenseful plots but enough to keep interest. The bad for this which I personally have trouble with is historical accuracy. Being from the area this takes place and very familiar with history in this time period. Just about every episode so far has flaws that make a minor contribution to the plot. Seems like they did some research as they name towns that nobody outside the Kansas city area would of heard about. But Sugar Creek having Gold claims! Using a Saloon as a court house in Kansas City, even much smaller towns of the period had dedicated traditional court houses back then. Indians, Bushwhackers and how they are portrayed. Only on episode 4 so probably gonna be a lot more.
david-smojver I started watching this show because it seemed to be interesting due to the nature of the title.The Pilot gave me impression that it will be about the immediate post war situation, that offers many interesting plot lines due to emotions running high after the South lost the war.Duck me I was wrong.1. Script is bland, boring and unimaginative. There are few weak attempts at humor, they fall flat.2. Character development is non existent.3. Direction - bunch of monkeys could do a better job.4. Acting is average at best.5. Everything is repetitive and it gets old after episode 4.6. I am no expert on wild west, but nonetheless this show looks way to clean and stunningly unrealistic. (I know it is just a TV show, but for ducks sake, make a ducking effort).7. Filming location in the vastness of the American landscape is always the same old quarry that we can see from different angels. That is it. I can understand limited budget but nonetheless, they should have at least tried to find more diverse filming locations. Avoid at all costs, unless you are on a night shift and you need a background noise.
sdiegotw It's amazing in the time of shows like "Breaking Bad," "Deadwood," "The Wire," "Downton Abbey," "House of Cards," etc., that a show like this can make it to air. "The Pinkertons" is just another weak show with canned scripts and poor acting. It's a crying shame that as fine an actor Angus Macfayden was in a position to even have time to do a show like this. Having seen him in "Turn," I had high hopes for this series. But his talents are wasted here. He is, of course, good in his role. But the rest of the cast suffers even worse by comparison. There's nothing gritty or genuine about this show. It's a throwback to the horrible TV shows of the 1980s and 1990s. The only thing its lacking is a freeze-frame at the end of each show where all the characters are smiling broadly.
mjcrow I love this show. Fresh new characters, good plots and every other word is not a swear word. Non violent and period correct add to a most enjoyable show. A touch of humour also add to the fun. Way above much of the junk we are dished up with on TV today "The Pinkertons" are now under "Securitas" wing but have an admirable history of respect and fair play. The characters gel together well and are most likable. This show hits the button.It makes you think and the twists are always there. Destined for a second series I hope as it should prove popular here in the Uk as well as over the pond. As I said at the header "A breath of fresh air"Do not pick holes with it sit back and enjoy the ride.
