The Pinkertons

I love this show! This is an interesting and educational television show. I found this show by accident and have not missed a week since my first viewing. The actors/actresses are great, no cheesy roles. This old fashioned setting and reality based show makes my do not miss list on television. The Pinkerton's remind me of an old fashioned Perry Mason, of course with a female in the main role. I was ecstatic to see Angus McFadyen in this series. He is an amazing actor, and extremely handsome to boot. And you have to love his accent. I was a little disappointed when I realized he isn't in every show. But it is still my new favorite!

I love this show. Fresh new characters, good plots and every other word is not a swear word. Non violent and period correct add to a most enjoyable show. A touch of humour also add to the fun. Way above much of the junk we are dished up with on TV today "The Pinkertons" are now under "Securitas" wing but have an admirable history of respect and fair play. The characters gel together well and are most likable. This show hits the button.It makes you think and the twists are always there. Destined for a second series I hope as it should prove popular here in the Uk as well as over the pond. As I said at the header "A breath of fresh air"

Do not pick holes with it sit back and enjoy the ride.

I really like this show, it is entertaining, feel-good, beautiful and somewhat authentic. What comes to the costumes and props, spot-on.

But this is meant to be 19th century America! It is Victorian era for *cks sake! Non-married men and women do NOT sleep in the same tent! I would have like at least the characters to discuss over this and resort to the 'bundling' codex. meaning something between them to prevent intimacy. That was a missionary's daughter even! And none of the people are prunes, even when it was common practice at that time period.

I do understand, that for the modern era viewer you must represent people of color different and with respect on television. It kinda little bothers me, that John gets so little hardship from the people, even though he seems the only black person in town. Do not understand me wrong, I do not WANT to see racism represented on television. But it just bothers me, for authenticity sake.

I would have assumed at least the three white guys he was imprisoned with would have remarked more on his race.

But I can look between my fingers for them to decide for more modern morals. I just wish the characters acted more prune XD it would have caused entertaining tension!

Edit: and then I saw the episode with the colonel, makes my point on the race moot

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!!

I like this show. It is not mind numbing or contain morally objectionable content. There is really not much on television that you can watch with your family.

I like how the charters interact with each other. I am not sure how historically accurate it is, but, there are a lot of shows and movies that take license to write what they like.

I would compare this show to Due South - if you remember that show - Murdock Mysteries and The Republic of Doyle. Please note these are all Canadian shows! (Not a Canadian.)

I look forward to seeing more episodes on Netflix in the future.
