The Calling

Finally!!! A crime drama with a twist! I binge watched this series with my family over the weekend. From the start I was captivated by Detective Avraham's character. I wanted to know more about how his mind worked, where his darkness and light came from, his background. He is such a complexly written and performed presence. Avraham's partner's quick wit and energy are great complements to his deep thinking and flashbacks. They are a great pair.

Whatever happened to Avraham's father must have been terrible. I like the flashbacks and how they're presented mystically. The child who plays Young Avraham is adorable and well-cast.

The Calling's story is gripping, and the acting is phenomenal. I'm desperately waiting for news on Season 2!

... have only just come across-started-watching Peacock's The Calling... after three episodes main thoughts center around, how in the world can there possibly be five-more-episodes-remaining, it seems like it took forever getting through just these three... going to give it a '7' for now, with the expectation that it will continue-coming together more once E4-8 are done, and maybe achieve a higher rating

... one written review mentions overall rating would be higher if it were on Prime or Netflix... surely there would be more than 3K-ratings, but 'much-higher'.. we'll just have to wait-see what the remaining episodes bring... acting-script-production-values all pretty-solid... look forward to finish-watching rest of season-1

... 2nd half of season a-full-180, like a completely different show... when the 2nd half episodes have changed majority of story's characters-plot, you must adapt readily, but that requires the new & different characters-plot measure up with those of the 1st half episodes... here they don't initial-viewing, script-plot never was good in this 2nd half of the season, continually just-going-thru-motions-mediocre.. hoping to raise rating, instead had to drop it down... should there be a 2nd season, it's gotta be more like 1st half of S1... maybe watching it again would make it better, but right now don't really want to... possibly will watch the four of them again before S2 airs... if S2 airs.

I dont know if it's only me but I find Avi a little creepy. I know it's supposed to be intensity but his facial expressions and mannerisms freak me out a little. He is a handsome man but something just feels odd. I'm just finishing the fourth episode. Maybe I will get used to it in time but it is a little off putting.

The other actors are doing a good job. I like the banter between him and his partner and the other male detective is good for comic relief

It's a nice change from the usual police drama but I dont love it.........yet. Time will tell if his creep factor decreases or it I give up watching all together.

Thoroughly enjoyed the show ,very different to the "all Hollywood and little substance." typical cop shows

Love the dynamic between each of the characters and how they all balance each other out, you want to get to know the characters story and lives. It has the perfect balance of their lives and actually fighting crime.

The fact that its an angle of compassion, patience and understanding, rather than "shoot first ask later " is really refreshing. Not copy paste drama but a human element to it.

Hope there is a season 2 would really like to see where they take the story and what else they come up.

Refreshing, inspired, quirky, engaging, new kind of cop show. The cinematography of the city is great(how could you not be pulled in immediately upon seeing the Brooklyn Bridge in all its glory). The characters are fascinating, the acting ever intense and amazingly real. The dialogue is reminiscent of a David Mamet screenplay. The stories are dark and completely compelling. I preferred the first case to the second, but both are excellent.

I see that as of now, The Calling has not been renewed. I, for one would be extremely disappointed not to meet these characters again and watch their relationships to themselves and each other evolve.
