 Above average for the genre March 19, 2010

This is not at all a bad series but no where near the Wire, my absolute favourite in terms of plot, writing and acting. Still it is better than the trash that one gets all too often these days. Come on David Simon! We need you to follow up the brilliant Wire and Generation Kill.

I watched season one on TV but there were too many interruptions . Buying the DVD I was able to watch the WHOLE season one with out stopping. I hope there is a Season Two.
Terrific; Bad Guy Ray Is Fabulous March 9, 2010

I watched this because the "sort of good guy", the cop, is the really good guy on the Canadian series FLASHPOINT. He's part good and part bad as the cop in this small town where he relocates his family. Right across the street from him lives the big deal in town, a real bad guy, a complete psychopath. Naturally, he is such a good old boy in the town, lived there all his life, that everyone loves him. His name is Ray. Ray plays this between high camp and straight. He reminds me somewhat of Ian McShane in DEADWOOD but, of course, worse. This is great fun. "Ray" was so good that he won the Canadian version of the Emmy for this as lead actor.
A Masterpiece January 27, 2010

The box cover's description sounds a little cheesy, but these six episodes are a brilliant piece of storytelling. This is extremely intelligent, bleak, thrilling noir, with a great deal of subtext into dynamics between men and women, and male violence toward women. The writing is exemplary, as is the cinematography and performances. ... The best piece of television storytelling I've seen since The Wire.
Wow, great series January 22, 2010

I only caught this by chance when searching for new series on tv this past fall?summer? whenever it started and as soon as I watched the first episode I had to "season Pass" it. It's a great crime drama that I am really surprised hasn't had any advertising on any other channel. It has great characters with depth, mystery/crime plots, along with some family drama, great sets, slightly creepy, sometimes super creepy, great acting...what can I say, I love the show. I am so thrilled to have a second season coming out, the first on dvd, and that a non-big three station ran such a great new show...hopefully to inspire many great new shows that couldn't get aired by networks or get cancelled by networks etc. Why should the non big 3 be stuck with re-runs of former big three shows when they can obviously do a great job choosing new series of their own?
YAHOO...A LITTLE TV STATION/NON BIG-THREE WITH A GREAT NEW PRIMETIME SERIES!!!!
I love that cable channels have had some successful series over the last few years that have blown the networks away and now to have ION run a new series that is so much better than much of the BIG Three, it really makes me hopeful that the whole "big three" being the only people who get budget for new series runs and the only ones who get advertising money etc. will end fairly soon. Some of the best series in recent years have been from networks other than the "big three" and yet, the industry still focuses on them and let them "run the world" in television. I just want quality programming with quality stories and quality acting with the only agenda being....quality tv. That can't be done in the big three anymore, or so it seems. They would have never run Supernatural or Smallville, or Monk, Saving Grace would never have a chance on the big 3, Damages, they cancelled Friday Night Lights, sending them to Directv only to want them back because why? After DTV gave them more than one season to resonate with fans, it was successful. They cancel so many shows in every genre after such a short time, even some with great ratings and fan bases, always thinking the grass is greener on the other side, but so rare is it to have a big hit after 2 episodes and then stay at number one that they constantly give up really quality programming with good ratings for the hope they will be number one next time and stay there....eventually ending in many failed series because they weren't any good, and many cancelled series that may have lasted years and years if given the chance. My examples could go on endlessly, I watched The Nine and Smith and Davinci's Inquest on network tv only to have them all just disappear. When DTV ran the rest of The Nine and Smith, I was even more bummed that they had been cancelled in the first place, they were both very good. Davinci is in a league of it's own, some of the best ever tv, and only got a couple primetime eps aired in my area, then moved to 1:05am. then moved to 12 noon, and then disappeared...When SLEUTH started running the whole series (half of which I bought on dvd from Canada), I watched it over and over and found new things to appreciate everytime...it could have been huge here if it was given a solid, consistent timeslot for a season or two...........UGH, I get really worked up about the dreadful network monopolies that mess with my entertainment.
Sadly, all the little channels and great cable networks will probably be bought out by the big three eventually and we'll be stuck with only what the same small gene pool of executives finds appealing and a show like Durham County won't have a chance....
WHERE'S my BEHopeful Attitude?!!! I slipped for a moment, it makes me hopeful that ion ran this show, a news primetime series, that is really good, very unique, suspensful, great acting...overall, a quality, creepy, Crime show!
