Caught

Ten leagues above it. I don't care what decade that the songs came out... where is it written, that every one of them had to have been released on the very day in time that is depicted ? Good music is timeless, and this TV show, of all things.... has the best music soundtrack EVER put to film, let alone television. So, lay that to rest.

There's the multi-layered stories... none outdone by the incredibly compelling estranged relationship / inescapable feelings between Slaney and the lovely woman and her child.

There's the real to life characters. Paul Gross.... just ROCKS ! No, definitely not a perfect hero cop... a true imperfect human being.

My favourite television program of all time, is of course, "The Fugitive" from 1963 - 1967. CBC's creation of "Caught"... is a VERY close second !

The ability to take the written word to screen and have it become achingly alive is a tribute to the writers. Some unexpected twists in the plot leave you upset and wanting revenge. You know that what they are doing is wrong but can't help hoping Slaney will get away with it this time; feel the intensity and join in the thrill of the chase. The contrast between Hearn with his riches and Slaney's grittiness is obvious and poignant. Hearn and Slaney were best friends but are they destined to be enemies? The lighter side of the 70's with head bands, flower power and bell bottoms are what I remember growing up. Caught shows us the underbelly of society that we want to pretend wasn't there. This series is going by too fast!

I got so caught up in this 5-part series, I couldn't stop til the end. I thought the format was fitting for the retro atmosphere of this fugitive on the run/cop with skeletons/revenge thriller/bad guy's got it coming drama. Paul Gross did a superb job as the haunted-by-the-past, something to prove cop. Eric Johnson...I hated his character...great job being the bad guy, Eric! Allan Hawco killed it as the "ticking time-bomb fugitive" that I couldn't wait to go off! And the soundtrack...well...if your a rock & roller, black-light poster loving "head" from the 70's...you're in for a good time! Worth you're time. So grab a brew, some party favors, and your lava-lamp...you're in for a kick-ass ride! And when you're done with this one, you MUST SEE Allan Hawco's Republic of Doyle. The UK gives it 5 STARS so trust me...watch the first episode and then decide for yourself...Yes b'y!

Firstly, its not a documentary. The clothing/hair/make-up and music I believe are extensions of the characters persona not so much the exact time and day of the era. A flashback is how someone remembers it, again not an exact replica of the position of the sun on that specific day in time. How ppl easily forget fiction often reaches beyond the borders of realism to illuminate the context. Keep up the great acting!
