One Dollar

Only two episodes available at the time of this review.

This show is interesting as long as you're not an impatient millennial who wants a simple slasher/thriller. It has details. And a plot. And characters that have more than one layer. All good things, in my opinion.

I have no clue what an earlier reviewer was spouting about a bashed dog. Didn't happen. Unless the idiot got so mad about the storyline that he went out and killed his own dog. Or maybe he has access to later episodes and the killing he described has yet to happen, but the rest of his review sounded like he'd only seen the first episode. As I said, no clue.

Worth watching.

A really well done series that captures not only the feel of post-recession middle America, but also weaves the lives of disparate characters together in a seamless story. It's a morality tale for our age, where good and evil are perhaps more complicated, but they are still there. Some of the episodes stray a bit far from the overall theme of the series, but they are certainly fun. Very well written , acted and directed. Up there with some of the best series being produced today.

Despite it's low review, I went with my better judgement and decided to watch One Dollar as the storyline intrigued me. I'm so glad I did as It's one of the better shows I've watched this year. From the start the viewer knows a crime has occured but wonderful writing allows multi character storylines to develop in a way that the crime itself becomes the backdrop and it's the personal stories of individuals that are the focus of the show. This can only be accomplished by great acting and original storytelling. Thoroughly deserves a better score than it currently has.

This is the second made foe CBS Show I've watched( the other was interrogation) which was also really good. I was really surprised by these. Great story, direction , Dialogue, acting. Really liked this and the story. I got worried when there was only 2 episodes left they weren't going to wrap it up but they did and did so nicely which probably means no second series. I would have liked that as I really liked most of the characters which is rare. I usually watch UK series but this was one heck of a series. I totally recommend.

Sometimes IMDB really makes me question the sanity of some of it's reviewers. Anybody who visited this site and searched this show would see a very low score and probably not bother with it, the kicker is that this is a very, very good show! Pretty original drama, a few twists and turns, pretty decent casting and decent paced story line to go along with it. My review is based on the first 2 episodes, I would recommend giving this show a chance, it deserves one, it's a real hidden gem.
