Panhandle

This is the perfect combination of mystery, drama and comedy.

The consistent plot line that allows the main characters to fully embrace their backstory is refreshing. The series is a combination of my favorite shows: The Mentalist, Sherlock Holmes, and Castle.

The writers should be commended for the creativity and overall execution of the perfect balance of all aspects of the show.

The actors owned the complexity of their characters and embraced the each twist and story line with ease.

I am excited about a series that has captured my attention and has me anticipating the release of the next episode.

This show is aiming for a very niche audience: our, 'detective with a burden' is battier than Monk, drunker than House, smarter than Sherlock, and doesn't seem to have a gun, although the charming Leslie Ann Warren playing his mother loves guns and is seen cleaning and oiling a vast collection of antique muskets and rifles which she uses to deter the advances of our tec's giant pet alligator. Our grounded sidekick with their own life is a single mom who is also the cop in charge of collecting enough speeding tickets to balance the city budget. A previous reviewer took issue with the scene where Bellwether (of course that's his name, but most folks call him Bell) smokes Toad but it's a bravura bit, and the show spent a bunch of FX money animating the horns and flies and stuff. As for the niche bit, it's written with the headiest post-peak-tv dialogue imaginable - "Do you prefer hefeweizen or muscadet with oysters?" is used as a distraction - and the metatext is the application of therapeutic practices in the damaged lives of our subjects, and how they are both going to make each other better people. Catch it now, there's no way in hell anything this far up my alley is going to be renewed.

Funny, complex interactions between two different personality types I did not feel i needed a degree in psychology to understand the natural empathy between these characters.

A pleasure to watch. I certainly hope there will be a Season 2.as the story must continue.

Love the Florida scenery, the filming makes one feel that they are there, partaking of it all.

Like I stated earlier this story must continue for those of us who invested our time and emotions and caring into it. I am tired of getting interested in a story only to have the power that be decide to end it.. What is the point of watching and liking it.

The story is convincing, suprising, funny, orignial, smart. The script is believable and the dialogue is funny. The authors have done a good job.

The actors are all very good and convincing. The leads have great chemistry with each other and are a terrific team. Luke Kirby was know for me but Tiana Okoye also did fantastic. One of the main characters is nature and landscape and the house crocodile must also be mentioned.

The quality of the series is fantastic when you compare it with the same old shows that is being released. I've been waiting a long time for the second season because quality has become rare. I hope we will get it.

I don't know what exactly made me watch this, I found this show by chance and all I knew about it was Luke Kirby from his supporting role in Marvelous Mrs Maisel. It's not top draw acting, feel like it's on par with comedy skits or tiktoks, it's bearable it's just unbelievable. The opening sequence in the first episodes basically scream Florida man and that's pretty much what you get as the series progresses, a lot about the show just seems unrealistic or far fetched but it doesn't feel like the writers are trying to convince you it is.

It's a Roku original so I didn't have any high expectations, maybe that's why I'm enjoying it. It's not a cop show, it's put as comedy/ romance genre but I think it's more of a mystery drama. There are scenes that are meant to be funny that aren't, but doesn't get annoying because it doesn't look like they're trying to hard. It's paced really well as the story progresses pretty swiftly, nothing feels rushed or spent too much time on.

First couple episodes are pretty plot heavy, so much happens in an episode that would usually happen across several in other series. It's almost refreshing to see so many big reveals and twists in only just the first couple episodes. Even though, there's still a lot left to unpack and the series isn't horrible so I'll keep watching. It's not the best show around but it knows what's it's trying to be and I like it for that, doesn't bite off more than it can chew.
