Quarry

Rated at 8.2 yet cinemax didn't renew? Silly silly studio. I think had this show been given due promo opportunity, we would be looking for ward to another great season. this viewer is sorely disappointed! !

Shows set in 1970 are hugely popular, and Quarry is no exception. Love love love the plot twists!

This show totally took me by surprise....I think I've watched every important series,but this grabbed and didn't let go till the titles ran. Where did it come from? Why hadn't I heard about it? Trust me,it's awesome.... Logan Marshall Green seemed to have practically disappeared since Prometheus,but here he shines.Of course the script helps.Sharp twists and turns reveal some very unexpected plot twists, and that's just the first episode. It has a darkness which is reminiscent of True Detective,but the reality of The Wire. Totally believable actors,and some British and Australian actors pulling of some seriously good American accents. I have finally found a show to fill the gap that 'the night of' left....in short I'm one very happy viewer.

And certainly the most overlooked. Where did this come from? There is a continuous shot in one of the later episodes, roving through a Vietnamese war zone that is about as daunting a televisual pretension I've seen. But episode after episode, the cast and crew pull it off. Logan Marshall-Green's performance echoes across screen, whether he is on it or not. It's a show about him, his grief, his drives, his regrets. And one look at his face tells you all of this. This hits the mark as True Detective season 1 did; a valiant venture in scripting, directing, acting. Fortunately it stays with you because it isn't coming back for another season. Hey, at least Family Guy is being renewed for its 207th.

I just discovered the show and was mesmerized from the beginning. Only Homeland captured my attention so quickly and I'm still a loyal fan of that show. How Cinemax could give Quarry the axe and let this talented team of actors, writers, directors and all dis-band is impossible to understand unless their intent is to lose viewers. I've tried watching "Banshee" and "Strike Back" but both, especially "Banshee" lack depth and palpable reality like "Quarry" had. Every character interacted so well with each other with a natural flow and chemistry that is rare. And the subject matter, both unique and fascinating. I'm only sorry I watched the 1st season without knowing they'd leave us hanging and not re-new. Very disappointing and more than outrageous that incompetent children seem to be the modern day executives in television programming.

I really enjoy Quarry so far. First two episodes have told a story nicely. Everything that the main character does makes sense (for a broken lost soul).

I highly recommend this show. It makes sense. I hope that as the deeper story unfolds, it maintains it's intelligent story telling.

The end of episode two left me worried about the course of the story, but I will just have to wait and see what happens like everyone else.

So far so good though. I rated this a ten and hope it lives up to the confidence I have in the writing.

Also hats off to the main characters acting. Top notch!! Logan Marshall-Green and Jodi Balfour are fantastic, but the cast is filled with great talent all giving the performances of their lives. No matter what I know they (and everyone else) will look back on their work in this series as some of their best.

Direction is seamless and the production moves along at a nice pace as well.

Again Top Notch best of the best TV... so far.
