Hudson & Rex

Nobody said that all hour long TV detective series had to be filmed in California, Chicago and/or New York, and not everyone wants to see shirtless lead detectives (Aka) Steve McGarret from Hawaii Five-O, or hot looking and young detective babes like Kensi Blye from NCIS: Los Angeles. Hudson & Rex provides an alternative to the high testosterone fueled smash/crash/blow 'em all up and make the arrest in the last two minute cookie cutter crime series.

Detective Charlie Hudson (John Reardon) is partnered with his loyal German Shepard dog Rex who adds a lot of family interest to the story lines because most TV viewers are also animal lovers. The scenery in Newfoundland Canada also adds to the value of the weekly storylines and is a perfect backdrop for Hudson & Rex to entertain their viewers each week whilst solving much more simpler crimes than the other big budget crime TV series tailored more for fighting ISIS terrorists, and/or major drug cartels.

Sit back, relax and just enjoy how Hudson & Rex work together to solve crimes in the blue collar province Newfoundland, Canada. A respectable 7 out of 10 rating.

I quite enjoy this show! Perhaps it's the dog, perhaps it's the handsome lead actor, perhaps it's the enjoyable writing & supporting actors! I look forward to it each week, & often pvr it to rewatch later! I've recommended it to dog owner friends because the dog is a big part of the storyline! We been to Newfoundland & enjoy the scenery around the city as well! Hope it continues many seasons! A little romance between the lead characters wouldn't go amiss!

Long, long time Kommisar Rex fan here. The first episode was a nice tribute to the original show. Sure, it's not the best written (or acted) drama, but neither was the original. It was fun, though, and entertaining enough for my taste. I'm also an old Republic of Doyle fan (as well as Little Dog), so I like playing the find-the-filming-location-on-Google-Maps game. (Hint: MUN) Like I said, it didn't suck. I'll be watching.

Watch it mainly due to the great acting from the Dog, who pretty much saves the day! ** Re: Episode "In Pod we Trust" "Camilla wants me to be the change that we want in the world..." - I must state that it was the great Mahatma Gandhi who said this, which became his regular practice of his existence.

In all due respect to the negative comments posted here,I found it refreshing to watch a "clean" detective show that wasn't filled with blood, gore, excessive loud gunfire for superficial effect. We should be supportive of Newfoundland content and give the show an opportunity to grow and characters to develop. I watched the Littlest Hobo as child. With the exception of the German Sheppard the synopsis is different. It was based, if memory serves, on a dog who befriends and ex-convict attempting to live a better life.

I don't believe the intent was to produce the series about Newfoundland and/or have the characters speak with a NL accent. A lot of Frontier was filmed here and those characters didn't have a NL accent. There's one thing I don't understanding about NL'rs. Why are we often so critical of our own businesses. I recall quite some rime ago a neighbor went for a pack of cigarettes and instead of supporting the local corner store just down the street, he drove over a kl away to an Irving station (he also paid more). His comment "No way am I going to give Mr. ------- my money.

This has nothing to do with the H&R series. I just wanted to make a point :).
