Deckname Quarry

And certainly the most overlooked. Where did this come from? There is a continuous shot in one of the later episodes, roving through a Vietnamese war zone that is about as daunting a televisual pretension I've seen. But episode after episode, the cast and crew pull it off. Logan Marshall-Green's performance echoes across screen, whether he is on it or not. It's a show about him, his grief, his drives, his regrets. And one look at his face tells you all of this. This hits the mark as True Detective season 1 did; a valiant venture in scripting, directing, acting. Fortunately it stays with you because it isn't coming back for another season. Hey, at least Family Guy is being renewed for its 207th.

This series is so refreshing! There is nothing like it on TV! The acting,casting,and music score is top notch. 2 episodes in and I can tell that it will more than make-up than one of my late favorites, Banshees last season. With so many question with the new direction of The Knick taking, I can easily see this series being the marquee show for Cinemax. I went into it not knowing anything, so I won't give you the run around..JUST WATCH THIS SURE TO BE GEM!!! it's really that promising so early. The pilot will hook, line, and sink you in! This is now on my must watch every week list! Do yourself a favor and give this series a go. I promise you'll thank me! This is the type of show every network is now kicking themselves for passing on for sure!

I was not aware that this series was coming out, so I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across it. I like Logan Marshall-Green as an actor and just based on him being the lead actor I just knew it would be worth my time.

I like the time period it is set in, the music, the cars, and it comes with an intriguing story line. When I read about it first up I was not to sure what to make of it, hence I won't give nothing away, and hence this being a very short simple review.

Overall a first good solid episode, and I will gladly watch another to see where this goes, give it a try. A solid 8 out of 10 for me.

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.

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.
