The Pinkertons

My husband and I have fallen in love with this show! It just keeps getting better with the plots and especially the mystery is getting really good. With so many reality shows and cheesy sitcoms, I had forgotten how much I enjoy a good mystery. The casting is well done, and the characters are pretty well defined and the story flow on each show is like a good book. This show treats the audience with intelligence rather than cheesy one liners or moments every 5 seconds that try to pull your chain for either to laugh or think about sex. It's so insulting! Really, we all have much more substance to us than that. This show has intrigue, its engaging, with enjoyable characters and not to mention the set, the beautiful scenery is pleasant. I would only like to see here and there a little more defining of the characters that gives us a clear picture of say why they are doing what they are doing and makes them tick. But honestly if they never did do that I would still enjoy this show tremendously.

Last night was the first screening in the UK (I think) of "Pinkertons", on the relatively obscure Drama channel.

Not at all bad, and authentic-looking, with a fine-looking locomotive and army uniforms that appeared to be accurate. I'll wait and see if "Kate Warne" grows on me; at the moment she doesn't convince. (I was interested to discover that she actually existed and was a successful member of Pinkerton's before, during and after the War between the States – and possibly a lover of Allan Pinkerton's – though she lived only until January 28, 1868.)

William's mollycoddling from a distance by his mother grated just a little, as Jacob Blair was 30 when the episode was filmed. William would have been about 20 – though apparently he had entered the Secret Service when aged 15.

The series shows promise and I look forward to future episodes.

I found this show by accident, and I've been binge watching every episode online I can find!

I've finally found a detective series that seems so mature. The setting gives it that feel as well as the characters. I love how the plot doesn't seem like it's a soap opera with one twist leading to another.

The cases can be predictable and other times I was in shock. We even get to see some famous faces such as Edwin Booth and Jesses James.

The characters themselves seem like such a good match. How they didn't trust each other at first, to working perfectly in sync and fully trusting each other.

It's not a very well known show, and I don't know if it'll get another season, but if it does, I can't wait! It ended in such a cliffhanger, that I'm dying to know what happens next!!

Decent plots. Characters were relatable. I could envision multiple spins for future episodes. I really hate when a show ends on a cliffhanger. That's just poor management at the network.

I think this was one of the best shows in years. I wish they would put it back on. I keep checking. PLEASE bring it back... I not only like westerns, I like trains, and I like old detective shows. So with the combination, I really enjoyed this show. I watched every episode that season and am really disappointed that that did not continue it. It is hard to come up with 10 lines. Just please bring it back. Most shows out there on regular TV is garbage and I see why they are bringing back some of the older shows that has morals in them and just plan life. This show was great. We need more shows like this and even more western shows and movies. Please bring it back.
