Terriers

I have watched Terriers twice, and definitely recommend. It's almost insane that this was cancelled after only one season!

Love this show! It's "Veronica Mars" meets "The Big Lebowski". The episodes are clever and totally unpredictable. You will never see what's coming around each corner of this plot but it's completely plausible and very entertaining. Episode three in particular has enough plot twists for four episodes. The two main actors are great together. Though every once in awhile I'm reminded of the character that Michael Raymond-James played on "True Blood" and I have to remind myself that he's good now. Good enough anyway. Sexy, plausible, funny, smart, very cool. I hope this one keeps on going. It might be too slow-paced for the mainstream.

The writing makes Terriers - but the acting sells it. The characters are engagingly flawed, the by-play between them is superb and there are visual "puns" embedded in many scenes. It is funny, but not slapstick. The humor is often subtle; this isn't a laugh track comedy.

I can't say enough great things about this show. It feels more like a well written movie than something made for TV. The cinematography is lush. The supporting characters have enough back story to be credible parts of the plot. It is engaging and fun to watch. Even the theme is catchy.

I want everyone to watch Terriers so that is produced for many seasons to come. It is just the type of beautifully crafted show that execs seem to cull after a single season.

I am coming back to revisit this terrific one season show. The catchy whistling theme song is now firmly planted in my auditory cortex. I liked this show immensely when it first aired but always rhetorically wondered: "How did this show not get renewed". In beginning to watch this series again, I have no answer nor even a clue. This show ranks in my Top 5 of all time great shows that got axed without a reason. Donal and Michael are just a notch down from Nick and Eddie. I read one review where the person said to watch at least two episodes before deciding. This series had me with the hand made Gomez Bros Pool Service sign taped on their truck and Donal putting that tune into Michael's head. Priceless. I might watch cable all the time if series were all like "Terriers!"

Okay, I watched L&O-LA while I recorded Terriers because I wanted to see the premier of the new L&O. Nothing compares to Terriers this season; it's a great show. It's funny, has intriguing characters and a story line that is off beat and not the same old same old. Great casting that makes me relate. I don't understand why this show would drop in ratings except for some curiosity about the new L&O this week. I will definitely be watching this series and hope and pray it doesn't get canceled because folks just don't know about it. I also think it's better than some of the new stuff on premium channels. The show could use a little more promotion from FX.
