Tin Star

Started of great (Episode 1) then went right downhill (2 -8) then it only came together in the last 2 episodes (9 + 10). I almost gave up on it twice but managed to stick with it although I was restricted to 1 episode a day (I couldn't manage more than that). Apart from Tim Roth everybody else was annoying, especially the actress playing his daughter.

Series one started well even if a little zany. Season two got very weird, not sure if the same writers but whoever wrote it got lost. Season three provides some explanations but continues with over the top performances which spoils the end result. I can't decide if this was meant to be drama or black comedy, either way it didn't work.

After watching the first Ep, I thought it was pretty good and am keen to find out how it plays out. If I went off what the other idiots on here wrote I would never have given this a chance. Well acted, even though another reviewer said Tim Roth can't act. What the hell are they thinking.

The first 2 seasons of Tin Star were so good. Great story , directing and acting . I loved it. Sadly however this last 3 season set in Liverpool is simply awful . I can't believe how much it's gone downhill. I will watch till the end out of allegiance to the original classiness of the show but what a shame.

This series was uneven. I had a bit of a love hate relationship with it. I was annoyed with how it was written to be Canada but the writers obviously knew nothing about Canada, Canadians or our societal norms, which in turn put the premise, the relationships, the pivotable conflict with "big oil" and pretty much everything at risk. So my first struggle was to suspend disbelief and pretend it to be some foreign country that has all the physical majesty of Canada but is only coincidentally called Canada. The acting is tremendous. The pace is patchy and it's telling of episodes back to front drags things out and we can see the "twists" coming a mile away. The last episode of season 1 is absolutely redemptive. So, there you go, overall the episodes are 7 (good) and 6 (fair) but the last episode of season 1 is a 9 (superb), so I will settle my rating for the whole season being an 7.3 (great moments) out of 10. It has earned the second season a trial, at least. [Cop/Crime Drama]
