Hooten & the Lady

I thought about giving a 9, then why not 10 out of 10. I was also saddened to see reviews which thought this series "rubbish" & went further to pick the cast etc to pieces. I understand everyone is different & free to express their opinion, but what about "if you have nothing nice to say, why say it at all". May I say I love this series immensely. The way the characters bounce off each other in dialogue, the very British upper lip, the scenery, the story line all make for pure & simple entertainment which has me engrossed, smiling, happy & content for the entire program. It's sheer fun & that's what I'm sure the directors were out to achieve, no sinister nail biting high blood pressure drama to have you dangling off the edge of your seat. Lighten up people & enjoy this for what it is.

It's very entertaining show, very watchable for sure. Surprised it got axed after one season... It appears a show has to stink to get renewed!

Good watch, give it a try.

It doesn't shy away from the genre clichés and is all the better for it. Written with care and made with a decent budget, this is an enjoyable and long overdue "fill in" between the rare quality action adventure movies that 40somethings grew up on. The acting holds up, just, and the lead characters love/hate relationship has depth and seems to lay a basis for a long run on the series. Let's hope so. In some ways the TV format struggles as the stories have to be fast paced to get the story in. Or maybe we are just used to movies padding them out. Either way the format takes a little getting used to and I hope that the series develops some longer term, undercurrent story lines that take the series beyond the "Popcorn label" that I would give it at present. However a fine effort and well worth your time and sky harddrive spent.

This is probably the only show at the moment that does not have. 1. a character with special powers/abilities that helps the local police department solve crimes (Lucifer, Lie to me, Continuum, Sleepy Hollow, Mentalist, Bones and so on.) 2. a nudity (Westworld, Game of Thrones) where geeks can finally satisfy themselves with anything other than PoornHub 3. where the character is 50% of the time a CGI stunt or fighting/shooting/trying to survive some kind of apocalypse

This is one of those TV shows where you can just sit down and enjoy lighthearted story line. you know what will happen and that is the idea of it. you know that Hooten will f^&k up something somewhere... but you don't know where

Its as cheesy as riders of the lost ark, or the temple of doom... and there is nothing wrong about it.

This was really good! Why would they cancel something that lots of people clearly enjoy. It had everything, a bit of love interest, adventure, comedy the lot. So annoyed.
