The Oath: O Juramento

I wanted to like the show as its not set up like the generic Police shows, (it is an anti hero bad police show) and I could of liked it if they hadn't over done the shaky camera shots, to be honest at time it was more like watching a TV show in the middle of an earthquake. I believe as an earlier reviewer said they were trying imitate 'The Shield' going for gritty realism .The difference is in The Shield it was a real effect they had cameramen taking shots with hand held cameras. In The Oath they have used a tripod then created the effect in post production and they have over done it. There is also a problem with the amount of edits, they are constantly cutting from shot to shot. I get that they are trying to keep it fast paced but having so many edits takes away from the acting, it is a failure to show or give the actor the chance to act. So overall it had potential but it has been spoiled in post production

Who invented this shaky camera filming? He should be banned from filmmaking for the rest of her/his life. It is horrible and makes me a headache. This would have been so good with descent directing. Now it's awful.

Watched because two of my favorite actors, Cory Hardrict and Sean Bean are in it. The 1st 3 episodes are very confusing as you try to piece what's going on, who's who, which is normal. Then I was hooked and can't wait for season 2. It's no Power but definitely worth watching.

I hope the show is fiction, because if it is true... Can't wait for season 3

I'm still trying to figure out why Hammond's mother has two sets of eyebrows. Her own, and a permanent marker set drawn above them.

Why is it that these 'cops' spend all of their time doing gang stuff and almost zero time doing cop stuff?

The shaky camera stuff is trying to emulate The Shield, which grinds this crap into the ground and stomps all over it.

I was hoping that with Sean Bean starring it would have been worth watching. Sadly, I was wrong.
