Hudson & Rex

The show tries to somehow make major crimes something suitable for family viewing (which means it might end up being a little silly at times), but let's be honest, who cares?? It's all good fun and it's secondary to the real reason everyone watches: Diesel!

Rex is an *AMAZING* detective who makes every episode thrilling. He's such a good boy! I'd watch a million episodes of him leaping through car windows, sniffing out perps, staring longingly at donuts and being foiled by doors. If he hasn't charmed you within the first few seconds of his being on screen, then... I'll eat my hat!

Nice scenery, decent acting and good production value. Overall an entertaining pilot. Anyone who complains about the plot and script is entirely missing the point. This is not supposed to be an Emmy winning show, it's made to entertain and that it does well.

Nobody said that all hour long TV detective series had to be filmed in California, Chicago and/or New York, and not everyone wants to see shirtless lead detectives (Aka) Steve McGarret from Hawaii Five-O, or hot looking and young detective babes like Kensi Blye from NCIS: Los Angeles. Hudson & Rex provides an alternative to the high testosterone fueled smash/crash/blow 'em all up and make the arrest in the last two minute cookie cutter crime series.

Detective Charlie Hudson (John Reardon) is partnered with his loyal German Shepard dog Rex who adds a lot of family interest to the story lines because most TV viewers are also animal lovers. The scenery in Newfoundland Canada also adds to the value of the weekly storylines and is a perfect backdrop for Hudson & Rex to entertain their viewers each week whilst solving much more simpler crimes than the other big budget crime TV series tailored more for fighting ISIS terrorists, and/or major drug cartels.

Sit back, relax and just enjoy how Hudson & Rex work together to solve crimes in the blue collar province Newfoundland, Canada. A respectable 7 out of 10 rating.

I quite enjoy this show! Perhaps it's the dog, perhaps it's the handsome lead actor, perhaps it's the enjoyable writing & supporting actors! I look forward to it each week, & often pvr it to rewatch later! I've recommended it to dog owner friends because the dog is a big part of the storyline! We been to Newfoundland & enjoy the scenery around the city as well! Hope it continues many seasons! A little romance between the lead characters wouldn't go amiss!

As a child i always watched Kommisaris Rex. I love that they brought it back as a complete new series. Brings back old memories and i love it. Also love that they used small details out of the original series.
