Tin Star

Series one started well even if a little zany. Season two got very weird, not sure if the same writers but whoever wrote it got lost. Season three provides some explanations but continues with over the top performances which spoils the end result. I can't decide if this was meant to be drama or black comedy, either way it didn't work.

As is my header " That Old chestnut Revenge" that's what this is about..that old chestnut revenge.

In these days of reality it's nice to see what you might call 50's plots on our screen again.

Yes,,,you can critic plot holes and a few not so good performances...but as revenge thrillers go it's up there with the best of them.

Suspend belief and enjoy the beautiful camera work and the excellent scenery....also enjoy the savage and cartoon like violence.

Tim Roth has a great time being a wide boy in the wilderness and everybody goes with the flow...

Keep your tongue planted firmly in your cheek and just enjoy...after the 1st episode you will know whether you want to ride along or switch off...so why not switch off if you want to and stop negative reviews.

Great bubblegum entertainment that is ready for a series 2 script.

Like Marmite..you will love or hate it...i loved it!!

I've given it 7 because of the scenery, otherwise it's a 6.

The first series started of like it was going to rival some of the other thriller TV series like Ozark, but quickly proved not. A different concept: yes. Set in Canada - for a pleasant change - amidst fabulous scenery, the implausible, alchoholic, head-banging ex British cop is ridiculous.

I managed to stay with it till the end, and when the 2nd series came out I thought " this has got to be better", but it wasn't. However, I must have had nothing else to watch at the time, therefore I watched the whole over-the-top craziness again.

Now, the 3rd series is being shown on Now TV (from Sky), and I have struggled through the first 3 episodes before giving up entirely. The production values are high, but the storyline could have been written by the Brothers Grimm, it's that unbelievable. The whole thing has grown exponentially madder and preposterous.

The sooner Line of Duty, Better call Saul and Ozark come back the better.

This wasn't without some flaws but I really enjoyed the series. Fantastic performance from Roth and some stunning scenery.

I found myself looking forward to finishing work and sitting down to a couple of episodes. Felt like a good page turner book does for me. Might not be everyone's cup of tea but worth having a look.

Season 1 was great. Season 2 was good, a bit more messy. Season 3 was a complete failure: Casting issues, awful acting (or lack of direction?), dumb writing and even dumber directing. The Story had no sense at all, the character's actions had no sense, it was just a mess. I kept watching just because of Tim Roth. I'm always frustrated when they decide to cancel a series, but it's even more frustrating to renew a series for a last season with a change of direction, many different writters and a total lack of artistic and clever sense, especially the finale episode (remember the Name: Alice Troughton! I'll try to avoid your work as much as possible, you're awful! Shame on you to make such a finale episode! So disappointing!) Season 1 is 9/10 Season 2 is 8/10 Season 3 is 2/10
