Hudson & Rex

As a child, i allways watched -Komissar Rex- a european tv-show running for several years... so i am getting nostalgic watching this show. the show its not a masterpeace but good enough while relaxing after a long day.

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.

Nice scenery, decent acting and good production value. Overall an entertaining pilot. Anyone who complains about the plot and script is entirely missing the point. This is not supposed to be an Emmy winning show, it's made to entertain and that it does well.

As someone who grew up watching the original Austrian Kommissar Rex, I didn't really hold out much hope for Hudson & Rex as KR was exceptionally well made yet I've found myself pleasantly surprised!

Rex is a gorgeous German Shepard, Charlie Hudson is a gorgeous cop, they make a great pair. The whole team, Rex, Hudson, Jesse, Sarah, and Donovan work well together and it's a really nice dynamic which is always good to see.

That said, I do find the storylines a bit predictable or far fetched and occasionally the dialogue can be a little stilted, like a lot of information that's not really necessary being dropped all at once. It's not often enough to make me stop watching but it does pull attention from the story at times.

Overall, it's a good show, more lighthearted than a lot of procedural cop shows, probably thanks to Rex being the goodest boy. It's a really good show to watch when you're not looking for something that requires full brain power, I like to watch while I'm playing animal crossing, one eye on the screen and one eye on my island life.

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.
