Stick to 1 & 2. Time Roth is excellent and the plot is interesting.
Season 3 is garbage.
As is my header " That Old chestnut Revenge" that's what this is about..that old chestnut revenge.
In these days of reality it's nice to see what you might call 50's plots on our screen again.
Yes,,,you can critic plot holes and a few not so good performances...but as revenge thrillers go it's up there with the best of them.
Suspend belief and enjoy the beautiful camera work and the excellent scenery....also enjoy the savage and cartoon like violence.
Tim Roth has a great time being a wide boy in the wilderness and everybody goes with the flow...
Keep your tongue planted firmly in your cheek and just enjoy...after the 1st episode you will know whether you want to ride along or switch off...so why not switch off if you want to and stop negative reviews.
Great bubblegum entertainment that is ready for a series 2 script.
Like Marmite..you will love or hate it...i loved it!!

This series was uneven. I had a bit of a love hate relationship with it. I was annoyed with how it was written to be Canada but the writers obviously knew nothing about Canada, Canadians or our societal norms, which in turn put the premise, the relationships, the pivotable conflict with "big oil" and pretty much everything at risk. So my first struggle was to suspend disbelief and pretend it to be some foreign country that has all the physical majesty of Canada but is only coincidentally called Canada. The acting is tremendous. The pace is patchy and it's telling of episodes back to front drags things out and we can see the "twists" coming a mile away. The last episode of season 1 is absolutely redemptive. So, there you go, overall the episodes are 7 (good) and 6 (fair) but the last episode of season 1 is a 9 (superb), so I will settle my rating for the whole season being an 7.3 (great moments) out of 10. It has earned the second season a trial, at least. [Cop/Crime Drama]
Series one started well even if a little zany. Season two got very weird, not sure if the same writers but whoever wrote it got lost. Season three provides some explanations but continues with over the top performances which spoils the end result. I can't decide if this was meant to be drama or black comedy, either way it didn't work.
This wasn't without some flaws but I really enjoyed the series. Fantastic performance from Roth and some stunning scenery.
I found myself looking forward to finishing work and sitting down to a couple of episodes. Felt like a good page turner book does for me. Might not be everyone's cup of tea but worth having a look.

Did you know
- TriviaMyles Peterman's role (Joe) was previously offered to Gustavo Goulart, and he wanted to perform the role, but most of the first season's shooting dates were matching the exact dates of another project, so the actor and singer Gustavo Goulart had to say no, even wanting to say yes.
