Stalker

When you aren't trying to compare this to other crime shows, which it isn't, and watch it as it is intended, you'll find it is really well put together. I didn't care who directed it, wrote it, or what thev've done previously, so my judgment wasn't clouded by expectations of what it "will be like". I just am enjoying what it is.

Maggie Q is awesome at both hard and fragile sides to her character as is Dylan McDermott. I loved Mariana Klaveno in True Blood, so I'm expecting big things from her here as well.

The plots so far have been well thought out, believable and very creeper, creepy. If you've ever worried about being followed or foot shadows at your door at night, this is the show for you.

If you are checking out the reviews you will notice that the earlier ones are very negative at times about gratuitous violence against women in this show, if the reviewers had actually bothered to wait until they had seen a couple of episodes before judging they would come to realise that men get their fair share of gratuitous violence against them too. Is the show violent.. yes, but no more violent than many other 10pm shows. The ongoing narrative is good, the 'case of the week' is diverse and in many instances a bit different from the majority of what has gone before in the cop genre. Stalker certainly delivers some proper edge of the seat moments. Don't let the one episode wonders who seem to know everything on day one put you off, this is good TV.

It honestly is amazing to me that the show like the bachelor gets season after season but a actual good show like stalker gets only 1 damn season!! Do people just not know good tv and would really rather watch the other? I mean I know the show has been cancelled for a few years now it just STILL makes me mad that good t.v. shows are being cancelled for shows like that bachelor and the all the 200 singing shows that we need for some reason. I really miss this show 😡

I'll keep it short, because Stalker is definitely a show to be enjoyed. There are a lot of negative reviews, and I'm a little surprised. While Stalker, as a police procedural anyway, is nothing original, it's a refreshing change to the genre. The writing isn't as bad as is being depicted, and the dark and gritty surrealism of the show is quite enjoyable. Add in strong actors, in particular the shows lead Maggie Q, and you have an extremely enjoyable show. The chemistry on screen is also solid, and for a show that's just started, I'm thoroughly engrossed. It's something to be given the benefit of the doubt, and to see how well it handles its material in the long run.

This show is really well written. It's fascinating if you give it a real chance. I'm actually not someone who generally likes dark stories at all. This is better than a lot of hit shows on TV right now. I understand that the first episode may shock a few people feeling that it's harsh, but stalking does take place. Stalker is not any more violent then most police shows on television. The actors do a great job and the casting choices were spot on. The stories unfold in a way that you care about each of the characters. Folks I know who like Scandal or the Blacklist are all into this. Yes, those are both different types of shows, but the quality is the same. Try it. It's addictive.
