Caught

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.

Firstly, its not a documentary. The clothing/hair/make-up and music I believe are extensions of the characters persona not so much the exact time and day of the era. A flashback is how someone remembers it, again not an exact replica of the position of the sun on that specific day in time. How ppl easily forget fiction often reaches beyond the borders of realism to illuminate the context. Keep up the great acting!

The ability to take the written word to screen and have it become achingly alive is a tribute to the writers. Some unexpected twists in the plot leave you upset and wanting revenge. You know that what they are doing is wrong but can't help hoping Slaney will get away with it this time; feel the intensity and join in the thrill of the chase. The contrast between Hearn with his riches and Slaney's grittiness is obvious and poignant. Hearn and Slaney were best friends but are they destined to be enemies? The lighter side of the 70's with head bands, flower power and bell bottoms are what I remember growing up. Caught shows us the underbelly of society that we want to pretend wasn't there. This series is going by too fast!

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.

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