Hit & Miss

I think Paul Abbott is a genius. I loved Shameless UK, then Shameless US and I love Hit & Miss already. This show has a good cast and the plot is intriguing. Chloe Sevigny is always good in any role she is given. It does remind me faintly of both the Shameless series because they dealt with "in your face" social topics in a shocking way. It does deal with a lot of the same topics as the Shameless shows. I think it has the same heart. But it's also not like either one of those shows because it's shot more dramatically. Its got beautiful scenes. I am writing this review because of all of the discriminatory comments about the main protagonist being a transsexual. I think it's about time we saw a more diverse array of characters on TV shows. The world isn't black and white and we aren't just male and female.

Although it took a while to get into the story line, ultimately I've found Hit & Miss to be a great Series. The characters are played well and leave you feeling intrigued and wondering whats going to happen next.

What I really liked about Hit & Miss was that the storyline comes across as realistic, which ultimately gained my interest in continuing to watch the series further.

So far i've seen 6 episodes and am left wondering when the rest will be released as they seem to have ended in June.

Im looking forward to the season 2... if it is ever to appear..

I think this show is amazing and surprised me in so many ways. I have many friends from all walks of life and though I am straight, I was intrigued by the script and the roles of the actors. I do not find the ratings biased as I know many straight folks such as myself that were also drawn in by the characters and script. I must admit I wanted to reach through the screen and knock a few of the characters out in the beginning of the first few episodes but this is partly what drew me in and I am assuming this was the writer's intention. knowing that Chloe was the main character is what initially brought my attention to the show; the fact that she was trans-gender just drew me in more. I wanted to see if the show could be believable, and to me it was. Great actors, great acting and very gritty story line. I really enjoyed this show and hope there are more episodes. There are so many tasteless shows on T.V. these days with horrendous acting/actors. it's time people open their minds a little bit. This doesn't mean you have to change who you are but this is a great show, very real, very gutsy

This is not a typical series - characters are not all likable, there are no neat bows to wrap things up, and the look/feel is dark and gray.

Is it worth watching? Definitely.

The acting it top notch. The story lines are complicated and take you in unexpected directions.

Chloë Sevigny has always taken chances with her work and this show is no exception. She once again proves that she is of the top tier of actors working today. This makes me wonder - what will she do next? So if you like things that are not your typical TV drama, then watch this show. Just don't be surprised if, like the characters themselves, you end up with mixed feelings.

One of the users said that the people writing excellent reviews are biased because they're not heterosexual and are just giving it good reviews because of the nature of Chloe's character. Well I'm a heterosexual female and I enjoyed this series.

Yes I do agree with some users that a lot of the characters are not likable. I especially don't like the snippy attitudes of Riley and Liam. But well you wouldn't expect teenagers that grew up like that to be nice and sweet anyway. I just wish that their characters developed more through out the episodes and started warming up to Mia and stopped being so rebellious all the time.

I hope this show gets a second season
