Small Town Security

The individuals who are rating this show "1 star" and calling it "trash" really need to get off their high horse and get over their snobbery. It's a funny show, worth watching for laughs and is somewhat educational as it gives us a glimpse into the lives of these interestingly weird people. Not everything has to be as serious as Mad Men or Breaking Bad. AMC could use a little comedy in their lineup, as it will appeal to a broader audience. If you like weird reality shows, then give it a chance. You will be surprised just how entertaining it is. I just wish they'd bring it back for more seasons. AMC would do good with more weird shows like this.

THIS is what reality shows SHOULD be like. You can't help but adore every single cast member from the very first episode. Not to mention almost every single episode has made me laugh & cry - that's pretty damn impressive for under 30 minutes of reality TV a week. To already have been up for an award should speak volumes for Small Town Security !!! If possible start from the very first episode because it really does end up blowing your mind. And for anyone who claims this show is "boring" I have no idea what type of shows you are used to but this show is about getting to know the very interesting "characters" that prove truth is stranger than fiction.

Oh my god, Small Town Security is my new favorite show. This is seriously the best reality show I've ever seen. At first, like Joel McHale, I thought it was the well acted mockumentary. When I realized it was real I couldn't believe it. Not only are the characters completely BIZARRE but the editing and production is incredible - I love the use of animation to provide background on their lives. I want to hang with the folks at JJK Security. Please don't listen to the idiots giving this show bad reviews - yes Joan is a crass manipulative nutcase, that's why she's brilliant! She eats peanut butter and cool whip in a cup, reads pornos and forces her employee to massage her and clean her clothes. What more do you people want? I am especially fascinated by the INSANE relationship between Joan and Dennis, the transgender guard who seems to think he's Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry. If you are NOT an idiot who doesn't understand that good characters are not the same as good people, then you will LOVE this show. Highly recommended for anyone with a sense of irony, especially those of the gay persuasion.

OBSESSED AMC... more, more, more!

What can I say? I'm hooked. At first I was a little disappointed, because I didn't "get it" and I was expecting more of a Reno 911 concept (one of my all time favs). But I gave it a chance, and glad I did. These people are very entertaining! I would love to just sit down,and hang out with them.. I actually love living vicariously through them!! Not only is this show funny, it's actually very heartwarming too. I really hope AMC brings it back next year- cause I'll be waiting!! I agree with one of the comments above, there will definitely be some sort of cult following. Very smart AMC, well done!! Love Breaking Bad as well.. only complaint...not enough episodes, and the wait for another season is ridiculously long!!!!!!!

After reading the other reviews, especially the negative ones, my opinion of this show has doubled. Apparently, this 'unscripted' show has successfully convinced the public that it is actually a 'reality' show. I personally didn't find it very believable at first, but now that I see how many have been tricked, I can better appreciate the brilliant performances of the actors, especially because unscripted implies improvisation. Now I'm hooked and can't stop watching. I'm sure they will eventually jump the shark and spoil the secret sauce, but it will be interesting to see how long it goes. That's my stick story, and I'm sticking to it.
