Carter

Personally, I was hesitant to watch it but am glad I did. The actors are good, the Canadian scenery fantastic, writing ok. I believe the show will only get better and I'm officially a fan! Anyone can find fault in any new show but I'm betting most will enjoy season 1 of Carter.

Harley Carter (Jerry O'Connell), star of a hit Hollywood TV detective show, has a meltdown on the red carpet over his cheating wife. While on hiatus, he goes back to his hometown of Bishop in Canada. His childhood friend is police detective Sam Shaw (Sydney Tamiia Poitier). The two along with Dave Leigh as 12 year olds had caught the killer of Harley's mother. He returns to stay at the family home with his Japanese housekeepers Dot and Koji. Harley exonerates Koji for murder and then turns to crime solving.

This is a fun Canadian show. That's mostly due to Jerry O'Connell's irreverent performance. It has plenty of light fun with some fair action thriller crime solving. Jerry makes this fun. Otherwise, it's mostly a second tier production but that doesn't really matter as long as the audience has a fun time.

What the hell is wrong with the average person writing a critique about Carter TV show. For heavens sake, "Jerry O'Connel was over the top, a prohibited hand gun, its not like Castle, barrel of gun prohibited, improper police procedure and the ranting goes on and on.

ITS A FUN SHOW WITH A LIGHT PLOT WITHOUT REALITY BEING INVOLVED, NO VIOLENCE, NO COARSE LANGUAGE, FUN CHARACTERS AND AMUSING PLOTS.

Everyone well almost everyone writes like they were expecting the duplication of success like BIG BANG THEORY. For craps sake guys just sit back and enjoy and stop fixating on every stupid little detail.

Watched the first episode, and struggled with it. I found Jerry O'Connell a bit over the top, and couldn't take him seriously, and also couldn't stop comparing it to the excellent Castle. Wasn't sure whether to bother with another episode, but really glad I did. This isn't a serious crime drama, and if you can get past that it's actually pretty good. It's a little silly, it's a bit light hearted, and it's just good fun. A very easy watch.

I also find the actors were well chosen and completely agree that although allusions can be made to Castle, it's not. Many shows have an awkward uneasiness until the actors figure out their characters. I didn't find this lasted past episode 1 with this show. The characters are interesting & likeable and it is enjoyable - filling a gap in t.v. that Castle left when it ended. I also enjoy the fact that it is filmed in North Bay - picturesque and somehow familiar to most Canadians. I also hope it is renewed for another season.
