GamerTab That was an excellent one.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

tsjohn I was a huge fan of this series when it first aired. I recently stumbled onto the DVD Boxed set and just finished up with the final episode last night. I was reminded of just how much I loved this show. Granted, I haven't seen the original British version, but recently found a boxed set and I'm anxiously looking forward to viewing. Of course, I understand the desire for those who have seen both versions to make comparisons. I'm sure i'll be doing the same once I finish watching the British version. But if you just take the American version on it's own merits, it's hard to find another show comparable in quality and sheer grittiness. Pastorelli's Fitz is a deeply flawed human being. Many times his disgust and disdain for others is off-putting and makes one question why we care for him. Just as often though we see the kinks in his armor. His humanity is shielded with walls of self loathing. It's that dichotomy of his inner struggles which what make this such a great show and a breath of fresh air to watch. It's unfortunate that American TV just wasn't ready for the dark realities that this show portrayed. There's nothing better than watching a TV show that dares to be REAL with multi-layered characters. It seems there have been some on here reviewing this show with a black-and-white bias comparison to the original British version. I'm truly looking forward to watching Coltrane's Fitz with an open mind, which is what others here haven't seemed to be able to do with Pastorelli's Fitz.

Billy Girdler It's too bad that it didn't run longer. I've not seen the original UK cracker, so I probably will have less qualms than those that have. I love this show. I own the DVD collection and while some episodes aren't great or even good most of them are excellent. Episodes like IF, Faustian Fitz and others are extremely well done. Each episode sort of has twist and some of them are expected and some aren't. I say great acting, great writing(in most cases) and overall a great show buy this on DVD if you can find it it's cheap and definitely worth every cent. This show is definitely a precursor to shows like Medium, the Closer, House and many other specialized mystery shows. I am willing to bet however the UK version is way better, but I have not yet seen it. Buy it.

Rosie-9 This excruciating remake of the excellent British series is not worth wasting your time on.The police in the original had skepticism coming out of their ears when it came to having a psychologist on the team, exactly as many real police officers would. The American version has them fawning after Fitz at every opportunity, which is not only unrealistic, it also set up little dramatic tension.While the English version has quirky, interesting, believable characters, the American one has typical American pretty people. Particularly disappointing is the lack of characterisation of the police. The original has a range of people we came to know well: Penhaligon, the young officer trying to cope with an inept boss and pathetic "lad" culture. Beck, the old-fashioned copper whose unpleasant exterior barely covers his mental instability. Bilborough, a nice guy, but so soft he has to get Penhaligon to do the talking when visiting people with bad news. What do we get from the American version? A token black character whose name escapes me and a chicky-babe who looks like Pamela Anderson's cousin.The actors who play Fitz and Penhaligon (renamed to something unmemorable) could easily be replaced by wooden blocks and no-one would have noticed the difference. There's no spark between them. You don't care about them and you aren't convinced by them. Same with the Fitz/Judith pairing - he says something soppy and she simpers "sentimentality becomes you, Fitz". The "real" Judith would have laughed or sneered.I could go on, but it just isn't worth the bother. Take from me: if you don't want to see a great show trashed, avoid this load of drivel.

Gary Dickerson People were extremely unkind to this American remake of the brilliant British crime drama "Cracker." Yes, the British version was superior; but I often felt that the American version didn't get the credit it deserved. It wasn't supposed to be a direct copy, it was supposed to be a distinctly American version, as "All In The Family" or "Three's Company" were. I would have liked to watch it develop. My theory is that the main problem people had was with the American Fitz - Robbie Coltrane is so flawed, but his egotism is tempered by a humor and humility that Robert Pastorelli didn't really possess. Nonetheless, I refuse to trash this show like everyone else and heartily recommend it, should you find it somewhere - it didn't last very long. And whether you find it or not, do go watch the British "Cracker" series. It's magnificent.
