Caught

This show has caused me to contemplate a seemingly grey area between the line of guilty and/ or innocent. The need to resort to alternate methods of income acquisition in order to efficiently provide for loved ones is a relatable yearning. This show effectively depicts the inner conflicts and outward criminality and judging of marijuana. After watching the first episode I was hooked and continue to be.

I've watched the first 4 episodes now and so far this is one of the better shows I've seen in a while. There are some little niggles here and there but over all I think it's very entertaining, too bad it's only a one season show.

70's clothes, 70's music, hot girls, hot guys,action, phones with cords, and the underbelly of life in that time that we may not have known about,that's what you're going to find in the new series Caught! Two friends, David Slaney (Allan Hawco) and Brian Hearn (Eric Johnson) decide to go into the drug running business together. Slaney gets busted but doesn't rat out his friend. After 5 yrs in the pen, he escapes with the help of a broken cop (Paul Gross), who wants nothing more than to take down Hearn, who has fled Canada and has set up shop elsewhere supplying North America with drugs. Things go from bad to worse when Slaney ends up hooking up with his old partner for one more big score! Adapted from the book of the same name, Allan Hawco, Perry Chafe, and John Krizanc, script a series worthy of the book itself. Produced by some of he same people that brought us Republic of Doyle, Caught is a multitude of action, bravado, betrayal, love, loss, and lots of weed! Slaney is a character, that despite his actions, you believe that despite everything he's a good person and you can't help cheering for him. The cast is phenomenal and each breathes life into their characters that you can't imagine anyone else portraying them. This show is a wild ride that I most enjoyed!

Watched the pilot seems good so far. Interesting characters and the plot looks like it will be entertaining

The ability to take the written word to screen and have it become achingly alive is a tribute to the writers. Some unexpected twists in the plot leave you upset and wanting revenge. You know that what they are doing is wrong but can't help hoping Slaney will get away with it this time; feel the intensity and join in the thrill of the chase. The contrast between Hearn with his riches and Slaney's grittiness is obvious and poignant. Hearn and Slaney were best friends but are they destined to be enemies? The lighter side of the 70's with head bands, flower power and bell bottoms are what I remember growing up. Caught shows us the underbelly of society that we want to pretend wasn't there. This series is going by too fast!
