Hudson & Rex

This is getting better as it goes. I feel like people/networks/studios do not give series a chance anymore. Yes it is a little corny, and the acting is a bit wooden sometimes, but I still like it. I do agree I wish the show would embrace it's location and people more. So many Canadian shows barely acknowledge they are in Canada.

Embrace where you are shooting and from. They all seem to have no accents, unless someone slips, ( like ahboot, for about). I am American. I watch shows from all around the world and I enjoy it. This show is rated G, the dog is great and the plots remind me of old Murder She Wrote, or Rockford Files. That type of murder mystery. There is always a market for that kind of show.

The show is practically 100% Canadian actors. Update- They have embraced being in Canada. The show has improved, and I enjoy it. I am glad it has been renewed for Series 6! Good job.

I quite enjoy this show! Perhaps it's the dog, perhaps it's the handsome lead actor, perhaps it's the enjoyable writing & supporting actors! I look forward to it each week, & often pvr it to rewatch later! I've recommended it to dog owner friends because the dog is a big part of the storyline! We been to Newfoundland & enjoy the scenery around the city as well! Hope it continues many seasons! A little romance between the lead characters wouldn't go amiss!

Long, long time Kommisar Rex fan here. The first episode was a nice tribute to the original show. Sure, it's not the best written (or acted) drama, but neither was the original. It was fun, though, and entertaining enough for my taste. I'm also an old Republic of Doyle fan (as well as Little Dog), so I like playing the find-the-filming-location-on-Google-Maps game. (Hint: MUN) Like I said, it didn't suck. I'll be watching.

Watch it mainly due to the great acting from the Dog, who pretty much saves the day! ** Re: Episode "In Pod we Trust" "Camilla wants me to be the change that we want in the world..." - I must state that it was the great Mahatma Gandhi who said this, which became his regular practice of his existence.

Nobody said that all hour long TV detective series had to be filmed in California, Chicago and/or New York, and not everyone wants to see shirtless lead detectives (Aka) Steve McGarret from Hawaii Five-O, or hot looking and young detective babes like Kensi Blye from NCIS: Los Angeles. Hudson & Rex provides an alternative to the high testosterone fueled smash/crash/blow 'em all up and make the arrest in the last two minute cookie cutter crime series.

Detective Charlie Hudson (John Reardon) is partnered with his loyal German Shepard dog Rex who adds a lot of family interest to the story lines because most TV viewers are also animal lovers. The scenery in Newfoundland Canada also adds to the value of the weekly storylines and is a perfect backdrop for Hudson & Rex to entertain their viewers each week whilst solving much more simpler crimes than the other big budget crime TV series tailored more for fighting ISIS terrorists, and/or major drug cartels.

Sit back, relax and just enjoy how Hudson & Rex work together to solve crimes in the blue collar province Newfoundland, Canada. A respectable 7 out of 10 rating.
