The Pinkertons

I love this show! This is an interesting and educational television show. I found this show by accident and have not missed a week since my first viewing. The actors/actresses are great, no cheesy roles. This old fashioned setting and reality based show makes my do not miss list on television. The Pinkerton's remind me of an old fashioned Perry Mason, of course with a female in the main role. I was ecstatic to see Angus McFadyen in this series. He is an amazing actor, and extremely handsome to boot. And you have to love his accent. I was a little disappointed when I realized he isn't in every show. But it is still my new favorite!

My husband and I have fallen in love with this show! It just keeps getting better with the plots and especially the mystery is getting really good. With so many reality shows and cheesy sitcoms, I had forgotten how much I enjoy a good mystery. The casting is well done, and the characters are pretty well defined and the story flow on each show is like a good book. This show treats the audience with intelligence rather than cheesy one liners or moments every 5 seconds that try to pull your chain for either to laugh or think about sex. It's so insulting! Really, we all have much more substance to us than that. This show has intrigue, its engaging, with enjoyable characters and not to mention the set, the beautiful scenery is pleasant. I would only like to see here and there a little more defining of the characters that gives us a clear picture of say why they are doing what they are doing and makes them tick. But honestly if they never did do that I would still enjoy this show tremendously.

As many shows my wife and i find interesting enough to watch past the first fifteen minutes this one is only one season long. At least that's all we can find. We really enjoy the characters ad the settings

Although this show doesn't have a excessive violence and has an actual plot without being simple It didn't seem to get a lot of publicity. We watch it closely and have enjoyed each episode. This show was starting to flesh out it characters and story lines before halfway through the season. Unfortunately to stay on TV you need lots of blood flying, stupid people and very simple plots so it's not hard to follow. This was a refreshing break and our only wish is more seasons.

Decent plots. Characters were relatable. I could envision multiple spins for future episodes. I really hate when a show ends on a cliffhanger. That's just poor management at the network.

Last night was the first screening in the UK (I think) of "Pinkertons", on the relatively obscure Drama channel.

Not at all bad, and authentic-looking, with a fine-looking locomotive and army uniforms that appeared to be accurate. I'll wait and see if "Kate Warne" grows on me; at the moment she doesn't convince. (I was interested to discover that she actually existed and was a successful member of Pinkerton's before, during and after the War between the States – and possibly a lover of Allan Pinkerton's – though she lived only until January 28, 1868.)

William's mollycoddling from a distance by his mother grated just a little, as Jacob Blair was 30 when the episode was filmed. William would have been about 20 – though apparently he had entered the Secret Service when aged 15.

The series shows promise and I look forward to future episodes.
