Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

jonmccann Quite why this has been cancelled, I have no idea!The premise is simple, a serial killer on the loose and a two focused plot on both the killer and cop chasing him/her! Sounds simple, but made better. Why? Because it doesn't try and complicate the story with interwoven plots (yes, true detective I mean you!), because it is set in an era when serial killers started to gain notoriety, because it doesn't shy from the gruesome aspects of a serial killer and more importantly, that sets it aside from true detective, it gets into the mind frame of the sociopath quality (yes I wrote quality, as its the one thing that sets us all apart, be that bad or good!) of manipulation and total confidence in the act by the said sociopath.The casting is great, not newbies, but not stellar casting, this makes it convincing from an actor point of view as there is no cheesiness and its believable, the story is really well written, simply because it focuses on the main subject and rarely deviates from the chase, and the setting of the 70's for me at least, means the genre is right at the heart of the time when serial killers started to attain focus on what they did. In all this is a cleverly scripted TV show and could easily have gone on to spurn multiple series, but for some reason it was cancelled, some cite the brutality of it (it's not that gory), but I expect it's because it's so similar to True Detective, but was made on a lesser budget with less well known actors, that was it's downfall. None the less, this is a well made TV show and deserves a second chance, but only if it is in keeping with what it set out to do...Tell a good story, with no over dramatisation, and using the simple basic methods of script writing...Keep it simple, make the plot believable, and keep the viewer hooked! I am hooked!

vanettelstarr-163-9775 I do enjoy the pace and the controversial matter. I also love the acting. I understand there were some rewrites and new scenes, which I am guessing had to do with the ridiculous comments from critics saying its sexually gender demoralizing??? what? has anyone seen a "true crime" show concerning serial raper/killing, and the gory scenes suggested in those shows? Yet they get kudos, and the lost in time,father knows best networks cant seem to swallow reality or a slight taste of it? These are the realities of true crime, yet this show tries to keep it lower on the "reality" or "truth telling" crime radar, than some other series? The very topic of rape and serial killing is what this kind of crime is about, power and control. That's just what happens in a rape and serial killing story. I like the truth in it, though it does deviate just enough for me to see it as entertaining cop and serial killer bad guy show, rather than horror show or another one of those gore related to SCSI kind of shows. It's just enough different and new idea that its interesting and the actors are all seasoned and seem to be doing really well in capturing the characters and their roles. I also like the way they really hit on the 1980's vibe. That is well done. Its not a ten, but close enough for me to keep watching. Why is the rating so low here on IMDb?

misscindyjo This show is this generations Miami Vice. Cutting Edge(pun intended). I hope more people catch on before long. I love the cast. Ed Westwick is amazing as Kent. His "Kill me ,I like to give back" line may be this series "I'm Chuck Bass". They are getting the 80's vibe across really well. The show is unique. It is just so much grittier than the polished prefabricated crime dramas being cranked out today. The same story lines in different cities with different actors just doesn't measure up. This show is not as predictable as that, which pleasantly surprised me. Yes I will admit it pushes the envelope but still it's the best thing coming out this fall.

divajools I'm a huge Ed Westwick fan, and had high hopes for this. I thought the trailers made it look really good, and it was really talked up. But after last night, no wonder it's failing in the critic world and had ABC's record low fall premiere. It was terrible! It was so rushed, no back story was given, i didn't give a damn about any of the characters because there was no time too, none of the stories were developed or explained as they should be in a pilot. the plot is empty, overused, and dull. As soon as i was getting into a scene it was dropped and rushed onto the next. I might give the next episode a shot just to see Ed Westwick's beautiful face grace my TV, but I have a feeling that after this crappy of a pilot, I will not be wow'd. this show definitely won't last, unfortunately (well, unfortunately for the decent cast. it's maybe a bit more fortunate for us TV viewers.).
