Hooten & the Lady

This was really good! Why would they cancel something that lots of people clearly enjoy. It had everything, a bit of love interest, adventure, comedy the lot. So annoyed.

It doesn't shy away from the genre clichés and is all the better for it. Written with care and made with a decent budget, this is an enjoyable and long overdue "fill in" between the rare quality action adventure movies that 40somethings grew up on. The acting holds up, just, and the lead characters love/hate relationship has depth and seems to lay a basis for a long run on the series. Let's hope so. In some ways the TV format struggles as the stories have to be fast paced to get the story in. Or maybe we are just used to movies padding them out. Either way the format takes a little getting used to and I hope that the series develops some longer term, undercurrent story lines that take the series beyond the "Popcorn label" that I would give it at present. However a fine effort and well worth your time and sky harddrive spent.

I watch everything. I'm that person that notices that the hotel in Ghostbusters 2, was the same hotel in American Horror Story. With that said...This is a full-on production, with some quality people working on, and behind the scenes. I love the attention to detail! The scenes (real locations) have texture, and grit. The music and sound effects are laced appropriately. The camera crew is legit, with wide shots, booms, dolly's, helicopters, etc (no B-roll here). This show obviously has a budget and people who know what they are doing. Good job guys. This is why you storyboard, and have meetings with the crew (I sense congruity). This show has a good pace, and is easy to watch. You may have to be in the mood for it, but when you have an itch for something like this, there isn't a whole lot out there to choose from. I would compare it to movies like Romancing the Stone, Indiana Jones, National Treasure, and Lara Croft. Those are movies, not TV. Similar TV shows would be Voyagers (yup I said that),and The Librarian (the mini series not the show). As you can see TV doesn't create stuff like this, Movies do. So give it a watch and judge for yourself. As for me I think it has potential, and I like the cinematography.

New thing on Sky1 with Indiana Jones like treatment...its good fun. Much better than so much crap on TV right now.

The cast is good and production values are right there with good U.S TV Series.

Story lines in first 5 episodes are also good and kept me engaged.

I am not looking for anything more from any of the TV series and this fits my bill at least.

So in conclusion, its worth a watch if you are also into exploring new series like me.

Sid

This is probably the only show at the moment that does not have. 1. a character with special powers/abilities that helps the local police department solve crimes (Lucifer, Lie to me, Continuum, Sleepy Hollow, Mentalist, Bones and so on.) 2. a nudity (Westworld, Game of Thrones) where geeks can finally satisfy themselves with anything other than PoornHub 3. where the character is 50% of the time a CGI stunt or fighting/shooting/trying to survive some kind of apocalypse

This is one of those TV shows where you can just sit down and enjoy lighthearted story line. you know what will happen and that is the idea of it. you know that Hooten will f^&k up something somewhere... but you don't know where

Its as cheesy as riders of the lost ark, or the temple of doom... and there is nothing wrong about it.
