Hudson & Rex

This is getting better as it goes. I feel like people/networks/studios do not give series a chance anymore. Yes it is a little corny, and the acting is a bit wooden sometimes, but I still like it. I do agree I wish the show would embrace it's location and people more. So many Canadian shows barely acknowledge they are in Canada.

Embrace where you are shooting and from. They all seem to have no accents, unless someone slips, ( like ahboot, for about). I am American. I watch shows from all around the world and I enjoy it. This show is rated G, the dog is great and the plots remind me of old Murder She Wrote, or Rockford Files. That type of murder mystery. There is always a market for that kind of show.

The show is practically 100% Canadian actors. Update- They have embraced being in Canada. The show has improved, and I enjoy it. I am glad it has been renewed for Series 6! Good job.

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.

In all due respect to the negative comments posted here,I found it refreshing to watch a "clean" detective show that wasn't filled with blood, gore, excessive loud gunfire for superficial effect. We should be supportive of Newfoundland content and give the show an opportunity to grow and characters to develop. I watched the Littlest Hobo as child. With the exception of the German Sheppard the synopsis is different. It was based, if memory serves, on a dog who befriends and ex-convict attempting to live a better life.

I don't believe the intent was to produce the series about Newfoundland and/or have the characters speak with a NL accent. A lot of Frontier was filmed here and those characters didn't have a NL accent. There's one thing I don't understanding about NL'rs. Why are we often so critical of our own businesses. I recall quite some rime ago a neighbor went for a pack of cigarettes and instead of supporting the local corner store just down the street, he drove over a kl away to an Irving station (he also paid more). His comment "No way am I going to give Mr. ------- my money.

This has nothing to do with the H&R series. I just wanted to make a point :).

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!

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!
