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.

The show is a little off-beat and started off a little slow but by the end of the first episode we realize that there is a lot more here than meets the eye at first.

Everyone seems to have a past that they would rather no one else finds out about and some go to great lengths to keep it a secret. And then there is the dead wife that he is constantly talking to. At first I thought that she was giving him clues but then we realize that she is just saying what he wants her to say because she is just a figment of his imagination.

I'm only through episode 3 but I can't wait until I can watch the nex one.

Question on the music: I love the theme song. Is it available anywhere? Who is the singer?

I love the fact that this series is showing two different sides of two different characters. Great acting from both lead actors. I have fun and laugh when watching this. You just have to take your time to sit down and watch it for you to enjoy it.

Luke is doing a create job with his character. Very nice to watch. Tiana is amazing too. I can't wait to see the secret she's hiding. It's going to be a tricky one.

Luke's mom is an amazing actress. She delivers her character well. So did every other actors in this series. Like I said before, you need to take your time and relax to enjoy this series.

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.

Agoraphobic Bell Prescott (Luke Kirby) hasn't left his home since the murder of his wife Vida Perez Prescott (Lorenza Izzo) five years ago. He's living with his mother Millicent Prescott (Lesley Ann Warren). When he finds a body on his property, he calls 911. Speed-trap cop Cammie Lorde (Tiana Okoye) answers the call. She's the only one left standing on the police force after the town went under. It's a town full of quirky characters. Most of them hate Bell for abandoning his revitalization plan. County Sheriff Grant (Glenn Morshower) is supposed to be the one investigating local crimes. Cammie keeps investigating including Vida's murder with help from Bell and others.

It's quirky, but not actually funny. It has a murder mystery, but it's not actually dark. The characters are all likeable or fun. It's a Roku show. They don't have a long track record. I don't think it ever had a chance. Another studio may give this more rope. It's never anything groundbreaking. It's too bad but it's not a big lost.
