As someone who grew up watching the original Austrian Kommissar Rex, I didn't really hold out much hope for Hudson & Rex as KR was exceptionally well made yet I've found myself pleasantly surprised!
Rex is a gorgeous German Shepard, Charlie Hudson is a gorgeous cop, they make a great pair. The whole team, Rex, Hudson, Jesse, Sarah, and Donovan work well together and it's a really nice dynamic which is always good to see.
That said, I do find the storylines a bit predictable or far fetched and occasionally the dialogue can be a little stilted, like a lot of information that's not really necessary being dropped all at once. It's not often enough to make me stop watching but it does pull attention from the story at times.
Overall, it's a good show, more lighthearted than a lot of procedural cop shows, probably thanks to Rex being the goodest boy. It's a really good show to watch when you're not looking for something that requires full brain power, I like to watch while I'm playing animal crossing, one eye on the screen and one eye on my island life.

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!
The show tries to somehow make major crimes something suitable for family viewing (which means it might end up being a little silly at times), but let's be honest, who cares?? It's all good fun and it's secondary to the real reason everyone watches: Diesel!
Rex is an *AMAZING* detective who makes every episode thrilling. He's such a good boy! I'd watch a million episodes of him leaping through car windows, sniffing out perps, staring longingly at donuts and being foiled by doors. If he hasn't charmed you within the first few seconds of his being on screen, then... I'll eat my hat!

Nice scenery, decent acting and good production value. Overall an entertaining pilot. Anyone who complains about the plot and script is entirely missing the point. This is not supposed to be an Emmy winning show, it's made to entertain and that it does well.
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.

- TriviaBased on the Austrian show Kommissar Rex.
- GoofsHudson states in the first episode that K-9 officers are euthanized if their handler dies and they are not claimed by someone. This is not true. It costs thousands of dollars and years of work to properly train a police dog. Healthy dogs are re-paired with new handlers, and when they are retired, if their current handler does not choose to keep them, they are put up for adoption, the same as any other dog.
