Truth Seekers

This show was refreshingly original. It had a great concept and is definitely bingeable. I would have loved a chance for this show to grow and develop, really find its legs. A perfect mix of quirky and funny which always made how dark it could go really unsettling. A good mix.

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

This is the kind of show that has been missing for awhile now. The acting is perfect (Malcolm McDowell steals every scene he's in), the writing feels familiar but fresh, the humor is organic and natural, and if you loved the monster-of-the-week type of episodes, that's what you're going to get, but with its own mythology arc running throughout.

On my second watch already, and it's only been out for two days!

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

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.
