The Pinkertons

I love this show! This is an interesting and educational television show. I found this show by accident and have not missed a week since my first viewing. The actors/actresses are great, no cheesy roles. This old fashioned setting and reality based show makes my do not miss list on television. The Pinkerton's remind me of an old fashioned Perry Mason, of course with a female in the main role. I was ecstatic to see Angus McFadyen in this series. He is an amazing actor, and extremely handsome to boot. And you have to love his accent. I was a little disappointed when I realized he isn't in every show. But it is still my new favorite!

Last night was the first screening in the UK (I think) of "Pinkertons", on the relatively obscure Drama channel.

Not at all bad, and authentic-looking, with a fine-looking locomotive and army uniforms that appeared to be accurate. I'll wait and see if "Kate Warne" grows on me; at the moment she doesn't convince. (I was interested to discover that she actually existed and was a successful member of Pinkerton's before, during and after the War between the States – and possibly a lover of Allan Pinkerton's – though she lived only until January 28, 1868.)

William's mollycoddling from a distance by his mother grated just a little, as Jacob Blair was 30 when the episode was filmed. William would have been about 20 – though apparently he had entered the Secret Service when aged 15.

The series shows promise and I look forward to future episodes.

I like this show. It is not mind numbing or contain morally objectionable content. There is really not much on television that you can watch with your family.

I like how the charters interact with each other. I am not sure how historically accurate it is, but, there are a lot of shows and movies that take license to write what they like.

I would compare this show to Due South - if you remember that show - Murdock Mysteries and The Republic of Doyle. Please note these are all Canadian shows! (Not a Canadian.)

I look forward to seeing more episodes on Netflix in the future.

I love this show. Fresh new characters, good plots and every other word is not a swear word. Non violent and period correct add to a most enjoyable show. A touch of humour also add to the fun. Way above much of the junk we are dished up with on TV today "The Pinkertons" are now under "Securitas" wing but have an admirable history of respect and fair play. The characters gel together well and are most likable. This show hits the button.It makes you think and the twists are always there. Destined for a second series I hope as it should prove popular here in the Uk as well as over the pond. As I said at the header "A breath of fresh air"

Do not pick holes with it sit back and enjoy the ride.

As many shows my wife and i find interesting enough to watch past the first fifteen minutes this one is only one season long. At least that's all we can find. We really enjoy the characters ad the settings

Although this show doesn't have a excessive violence and has an actual plot without being simple It didn't seem to get a lot of publicity. We watch it closely and have enjoyed each episode. This show was starting to flesh out it characters and story lines before halfway through the season. Unfortunately to stay on TV you need lots of blood flying, stupid people and very simple plots so it's not hard to follow. This was a refreshing break and our only wish is more seasons.
