Deckname Quarry

PERFECTION in all areas,,writing,,directing,,acting,casting,locations,,and all production right down to the little details.after watching theone and a half hour finally iwas sad that this season was over. nothing comes comes close to this show except the great show The Knick, and the knick is no more,i sure hope it gets renewed,,its a very smart show,and if your not from this time in history a lot will go over your head,just the mention of Westmoreland will go right by quite a few, and I believe notmany will notice so many details,,right down to the signs and picture frames.there is also apart a lot wont know,,,that the great band Blackberry Smoke did a Allman Brothers song in one of the bar scenes,,besides primo writing,acting directing there is such a vision for details that makes this show shine,,kudos to all involed,this is what great entertainment is all about

What a pleasant surprise this show is. It was recommended to me by a friend who is a fan of the Quarry novels. I have read one of the Quarry books (the first one in the series) and it was nothing like this show. The show focuses on the origin story of Quarry, which was not covered in the book I read. Maybe this material is covered in other Quarry books? Regardless, the show stands on its own. No knowledge of the Quarry character needed to dive right into this series. I opened my review calling the show a "pleasant surprise," but the show itself is anything but pleasant. This is a dark, gritty, and unsettling show about a soldier returning home from Vietnam trying to find his way in society, who ultimately ends up involved with the wrong people. I thought the Quarry novel I read was just OK but this show is gripping from beginning to end. Extremely well done television and one of the better shows I've seen in recent years. I was very disappointed to find out the show was canceled after one season. What were they thinking? This is a show that deserves to keep telling its story.

Rated at 8.2 yet cinemax didn't renew? Silly silly studio. I think had this show been given due promo opportunity, we would be looking for ward to another great season. this viewer is sorely disappointed! !

Shows set in 1970 are hugely popular, and Quarry is no exception. Love love love the plot twists!

Honestly, in an era filled with mediocre T.V. shows, Quarry brought a new, fun concept. The acting was on point, the story was great ( one episode dragged for a bit), and it was set up PERFECT for a second season. I honestly don't know why this show didn't make it. Give it one episode and you will be hooked.

This show totally took me by surprise....I think I've watched every important series,but this grabbed and didn't let go till the titles ran. Where did it come from? Why hadn't I heard about it? Trust me,it's awesome.... Logan Marshall Green seemed to have practically disappeared since Prometheus,but here he shines.Of course the script helps.Sharp twists and turns reveal some very unexpected plot twists, and that's just the first episode. It has a darkness which is reminiscent of True Detective,but the reality of The Wire. Totally believable actors,and some British and Australian actors pulling of some seriously good American accents. I have finally found a show to fill the gap that 'the night of' left....in short I'm one very happy viewer.
