Truth Seekers

Was looking forward to this series due to it starring nick frost & Simon pegg some aspects are funny but don't expect it to be the typical sean of the dead humour this is very different for the pair also anything supernatural is a plus in my book just wished the episodes were longer but its worth a binge

Our favourite British bumbling buddies reunite for an X-filesy/Ghost Hunters inspired horror comedy that is perfectly packaged for a Halloween weekend binge-fest. This is really Nick Frost leading the charge with a couple of new faces, Elton John and Astrid, as sidekicks. It wasn't hilarious but it was fun and smartly written. I continue to be impressed with Amazon's entertaining originals. 8/10

I just caught this show on Amazon Prime and I am watching through the episodes of the first series, and for me it's annoying that anything remotely decent is buried away on an Amazon TV channel.

It's got a great collection of wonderful characters and actors, with the legendary Malcolm McDowell, Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, and Julian Barratt.

Nick Frost is Gus Roberts by day No 1 internet maestro for Smyle and co, and by night ghostbuster extraordinaire of The Truth Seekers. Simon Pegg is Dave the Head Honcho of Smyle Inc, replete with a truly fright syrup.

Malcolm McDowell is Richard Gus Roberts dad, or is he really?

Julian Barratt is Dr Peter Toynbee is the self proclaimed guru of the paranormal, but is there more to him than meets the normal human eye?

I have seen a few reviews here of this show and of numerous episodes, and the negative comments frankly are from those souls who have somehow managed to miss the entire point of the whole programme.

This show has a blend of elements historical, supernatural, paranormal, enwrapped in comedy, a totally different blend of comedy drama than I have hitherto seen.

Of course comparisons are inevitable and for yanks the default may invariably be the X Files, but frankly that's a somewhat erroneous comparison.

To my mind Truth Seekers is not attempting to merely replicate the X Files, instead its going in a far different and a much more personal direction.

I hope that show goes beyond one series to allow for further character development, as well as eventually being picked up by a different TV provider like Netflix.

I almost stopped watching this series. I didn't think it had a real interesting story line, but it came together. It was entertaining

Things get moving after a bit of a jerky start. Nick Frost is an extremely likeable actor and once again portrays a somewhat dark, melancholic character in a positive light. Great cast rounds it out a fun mystery.
