Caught

Watched the pilot seems good so far. Interesting characters and the plot looks like it will be entertaining

This show has caused me to contemplate a seemingly grey area between the line of guilty and/ or innocent. The need to resort to alternate methods of income acquisition in order to efficiently provide for loved ones is a relatable yearning. This show effectively depicts the inner conflicts and outward criminality and judging of marijuana. After watching the first episode I was hooked and continue to be.

Ten leagues above it. I don't care what decade that the songs came out... where is it written, that every one of them had to have been released on the very day in time that is depicted ? Good music is timeless, and this TV show, of all things.... has the best music soundtrack EVER put to film, let alone television. So, lay that to rest.

There's the multi-layered stories... none outdone by the incredibly compelling estranged relationship / inescapable feelings between Slaney and the lovely woman and her child.

There's the real to life characters. Paul Gross.... just ROCKS ! No, definitely not a perfect hero cop... a true imperfect human being.

My favourite television program of all time, is of course, "The Fugitive" from 1963 - 1967. CBC's creation of "Caught"... is a VERY close second !

70's clothes, 70's music, hot girls, hot guys,action, phones with cords, and the underbelly of life in that time that we may not have known about,that's what you're going to find in the new series Caught! Two friends, David Slaney (Allan Hawco) and Brian Hearn (Eric Johnson) decide to go into the drug running business together. Slaney gets busted but doesn't rat out his friend. After 5 yrs in the pen, he escapes with the help of a broken cop (Paul Gross), who wants nothing more than to take down Hearn, who has fled Canada and has set up shop elsewhere supplying North America with drugs. Things go from bad to worse when Slaney ends up hooking up with his old partner for one more big score! Adapted from the book of the same name, Allan Hawco, Perry Chafe, and John Krizanc, script a series worthy of the book itself. Produced by some of he same people that brought us Republic of Doyle, Caught is a multitude of action, bravado, betrayal, love, loss, and lots of weed! Slaney is a character, that despite his actions, you believe that despite everything he's a good person and you can't help cheering for him. The cast is phenomenal and each breathes life into their characters that you can't imagine anyone else portraying them. This show is a wild ride that I most enjoyed!

I've watched the first 4 episodes now and so far this is one of the better shows I've seen in a while. There are some little niggles here and there but over all I think it's very entertaining, too bad it's only a one season show.
