Sangue, câmera, ação

An interesting film. Definitely worth the watch

From a foreigner point of view at least

Howard - 'bloke' from england trying to make living but getting crushed by growing competition amongs the other two stringers

Zak - the guy that at least exist in this world. the one that going to make your blood boiled

Scott - the one guy that knows what to do and willing to go on extra measures to get the job done

Well execute cinematography and music Overall good documentary

I have to say this is one great documentary and 8 episodes is just too few. I'm not one who will easily give a show a 9 on IMDb but this one gets it. The storytelling, the editing, multi angle shots, the map of LA are of really high quality. This together with the enthusiastic stringers makes up for a very engaging documentary. It being on Netflix makes it a great show for binge watching.

I have liked Nightcrawler. I like it better than Shot in the Dark. After all it is a finished script and this is reality TV. Yet I strongly disliked the preaching writer voice and the cheap moralistic take. And here that aspect is missing. I am aware that the temptation is strong so that makes this series quite valuable. Another strong point is that the production team was able to make every team have a personality and not treat them all as one faceless group. The downside is the perceived repetition. I know the cases were hand picked to avoid having two of the same, yet by the 5th or 6th episode I was feeling I am watching the old pieces. By the 8th episode the dullness was toned down by the conflict between the teams. So overall, it was a good TV experience.

Lots of good comments here, expressed better than I could. I enjoy the show, except for one thing. Scott. I get it that TV is more compelling when there's conflict and he fits that bill to a T. Every so often I hurl an epithet at my screen over what he does or says. But tonight did it for me... he claims it's all about family. In this episode he announced that he's having a baby. He was asked how it will affect his life, will he settle down, be a dad, take fewer risks. He said nope. "We have an arrangement. She takes care of everything and I work." When a man chooses work, or anything else, as more important than being a dad he becomes nothing more than just another absent, deadbeat father. No child deserves that, and no wife should be treated that way.

It's about video journalists that race to emergencies to be the first to get the footage and sell it to TV stations. Very interesting with lots of intense footage. I never knew these guys existed, guess I always assumed it was the TV stations getting the footage.

I hope they add more episodes soon, I'm addicted to this show.
