The Calling

Thoroughly enjoyed the show ,very different to the "all Hollywood and little substance." typical cop shows

Love the dynamic between each of the characters and how they all balance each other out, you want to get to know the characters story and lives. It has the perfect balance of their lives and actually fighting crime.

The fact that its an angle of compassion, patience and understanding, rather than "shoot first ask later " is really refreshing. Not copy paste drama but a human element to it.

Hope there is a season 2 would really like to see where they take the story and what else they come up.

This is not your run of the mill police procedural. It was very different and I enjoyed everything about it. The writing, the acting and the production were all very well done. Based on novels by D. A. Mishani, the plots are well-developed and the characters are unique. Each story has twists and turns that you don't see coming at you.

I, for one, hope they keep these characters going with new stories and cases to solve. There are four books in the series, so there is more material to develop.

If you're weary of the angst-riddled detectives you usually see, give Avi a chance.

Don't listen to nay sayers. Give this a chance.

First two episodes 10/10 I absolutely loved the premise and the characters were so interesting and the mystery engaging!

Episode 3 and episode 4 are like 8's but not bad just a noticeable drop in quality and I think for me it's because it went more into procedural and kind of dropped the positivity a bit. Plot A resolution is disapointing. Episodes 5 through 8 get increasingly complicated with character motives and plot points not making sense.

The premise is worth reviving the show. The lead female needs to go back to first two episode development. She should remain more Skully of X-Files like she works great as keeping the main character in check but this goes out the window after episode 2. The captain and 3rd detective need more fleshing out in a revival!

My other recommendations is try and keep the main characters compassion and human understanding front and centre that's what makes him so different from other police detectives. They kind of went for shock value later in series and that was a mistake. As this shows standout is the compassion of the main and supporting cast! Those first two episodes though they were so good!

So, i am half way through and just want to say this is one of the best murder mystery law and order csi criminal minds mentalist type shows to hit the mainstream in a LONG time. It is EXCELLENT. Every character every cop every story the intrigue the suspense. If this had come on Netflix instead of Peacock the world would go mad for it. Also as a UK viewer this is RIGHT UP OUR STREET. Its gritty, grown up, funny, broody. Honestly they better renew this bad boy for a few more seasons and also promote it better. The lead detective also reminds me of a young ben affleck but personality of the younger brooder new batman. Go watch it you will not be disappointed!

How come this show has average ratings? It was very well developed, got an interesting character, & good paced, as well as entertaining storylines. I am very fond of the character, Detective Avraham played by Jeff Willbusch ., what a great character potrayal ! He could have wins awards for his performance. The cast are all pretty good & solid. It makes the shows different & felt real. There's a great dialogue & some intense scenes that makes you wanting for more. If you enjoyed watching intense crime procedural drama etc,. Mindhunters ,True Detective, The Killing , then this one is very well recommended. I hope this show would be continue for more seasons to come ! Just so I can watch the handsome leads some more.
