Carter

Personally, I was hesitant to watch it but am glad I did. The actors are good, the Canadian scenery fantastic, writing ok. I believe the show will only get better and I'm officially a fan! Anyone can find fault in any new show but I'm betting most will enjoy season 1 of Carter.

Cool new TV show to watch, really fun as well, reminds me a lot of "Psych". Definitely worth your time. Ignore the bad reviews, they are something like "oh so bad because it's Canadian" or people looking for some law regulation "mistake", it's supposed to be a comedy show not a live police fact based show. I find myself waiting for more episodes every week, hoping for more seasons.

Okay I'm a red blooded American retired police officer...and sorry, but I like this show. A light, breezy, entertaining romp with good characters. I've always liked O'Connell. I have the ability to suspend disbelief when it comes to cop shows like this one because it's just fun. The "serious" cop shows just turn me off. I'll continue to watch Carter for a relaxing evening while sipping a quality bourbon....or occasionally a good Canadian whiskey.

Watched the first episode, and struggled with it. I found Jerry O'Connell a bit over the top, and couldn't take him seriously, and also couldn't stop comparing it to the excellent Castle. Wasn't sure whether to bother with another episode, but really glad I did. This isn't a serious crime drama, and if you can get past that it's actually pretty good. It's a little silly, it's a bit light hearted, and it's just good fun. A very easy watch.

I also find the actors were well chosen and completely agree that although allusions can be made to Castle, it's not. Many shows have an awkward uneasiness until the actors figure out their characters. I didn't find this lasted past episode 1 with this show. The characters are interesting & likeable and it is enjoyable - filling a gap in t.v. that Castle left when it ended. I also enjoy the fact that it is filmed in North Bay - picturesque and somehow familiar to most Canadians. I also hope it is renewed for another season.
