After seeing some 'reviews' on youtube you would be forgiven for thinking that Disney is making you eat a bantha-turd sandwich, where folk are more worried about how SJW this film is rather than anything else.
This film is excellent. I was at the premier in '77 and this is the best Star Wars since Empire. No Jedi story, no lightsabers, just a bloody good , fast paced movie that made me want to watch it again straight away.
I felt like a child again, encapsulated in a narrow focused, well written and executed movie...Cant wait to see it again.

I'll get the negatives out of the way first, it wont take long as there is only one. Some times the director went a bit 'artsy' on some of the cinematography. Thats it.
Now the positives.
Coming from the position of a cynical middle-aged man who has seen the best and worst of TV, I regard all new TV shows with an air of suspicion. It even took 5 or 6 episodes of Mighty Breaking Bad to get in to it.
No such issues with this show. You might be forgiven for thinking this is another Cop show judging by the title but rest assured its as far from that as you can get , this little gem of a show hits the mark in story, characters and acting right from the start. If you read the blurb you might also have the idea that its a 'Race' revolving show as well, and although it does play a part, its not bias or heavy handed and its more about the people than their cultures, race and background.
Its just a near perfect display of Art, story and Character piece set against the backdrop of Family, Lovers, the quest for justice and facing up to the fact that we and the ones we love are never as pure as the driven snow....
Looking forward to season two with high hopes.

Its not laugh out loud funny, I give you that, but its certainly worthy of the occasional chuckle.
Don't go in expecting a roller-coaster of non stop laughter and drama as you will be disappointed.
Just finished Episode 3 and by the looks of it, it has strong potential to be a very interesting, amusing and quite original show.
Its only 20 odd minutes long so its probably the kind of show that you tape and watch with your family while having a bit of dinner in front of the TV and its something that most of the family will appreciate and there is nothing that you cant watch in front of young children.
Inoffensive and fun...whats to dislike?
