Carter

What the hell is wrong with the average person writing a critique about Carter TV show. For heavens sake, "Jerry O'Connel was over the top, a prohibited hand gun, its not like Castle, barrel of gun prohibited, improper police procedure and the ranting goes on and on.

ITS A FUN SHOW WITH A LIGHT PLOT WITHOUT REALITY BEING INVOLVED, NO VIOLENCE, NO COARSE LANGUAGE, FUN CHARACTERS AND AMUSING PLOTS.

Everyone well almost everyone writes like they were expecting the duplication of success like BIG BANG THEORY. For craps sake guys just sit back and enjoy and stop fixating on every stupid little detail.

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.

This is my favorite Canadian cop dramedy since Republic of Doyle. I watched both seasons in one week and want more. Surprisingly good and worth the watch.

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.

Jerry O'Connell plays a Hollywood actor named Harley Carter where he had his own TV cop show in which he played a TV detective named Charley Carter. Due to an off screen street brawl with his cheating wife's lover his show was put on hiatus so Harley decides to take a break from acting and he heads from Hollywood California back to his hometown of North Bay Ontario. In North Bay Ontario Harley teams up with his two old teenage friends, Dave Leigh (Kristian Bruun) who runs a truck catering business and Sam Shaw (Sydney Tamiia Poitier) who is now a detective with the local township where Harley, Dave and Sam all grew up.

Jerry O'Connell is a very likeable and natural actor and his role as a TV actor sleuth who gets involved in solving real life crimes with his two childhood friends in his hometown in northern Ontario Canada brings back memories both good and bad. The pilot episode was well balanced introducing us gradually to the three amigos, Harley, Dave and Sam who remind me a bit of the old Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mysteries. We also find out that there is an old unsolved mystery pending which appears to be Harley's mothers mysterious disappearance according to the newspaper clippings that still hang on the wall of Harley's old childhood home.

Although this new television series Carter is a summer series I think with Jerry O'Connell as the lead actor it will lead to a much longer series run than even the producers expected. Add to that the credible acting of Kristian Bruun and Sydney Tamiia Poitier as Harley Carter's partners in their crime solving up in northern Ontario and the producers just may have a hit show on their hands.
