Tueur d'état

I think this show was exceptionally well-made both in production values mirroring the down-and-out locations used and in the everyman-wish to see the "bad guys" dealt with after having dodged a cumbersome hands-tied legal system.

It's a shame that a couple of reviewers tried to put the boot in instead of dealing with their own obvious issues.

I find that I keep checking every few months to see if the Powers That Be (PTB) have decided to extend The Fixer in the same way that they practically forced Spooks to continue because fans refused to let them bring to an end what was probably one of the top television shows ever made ON EITHER SIDE OF THE Atlantic.

Truly enjoyed the characters on this show & the synergism they had together. Andrew Buchanan was especially talented & I am happy to see him in more upcoming movies. Just sorry this show wasn't renewed.

It's has been ages since a show with good casting and writing has been produced in Britain. Normally you only see this kind of writing style some of the mini series produced by the BCC. This kind of show is what is needed to compete with that of what we have to watch from America. The dialog is good,funny even when unexpected, the character establishment is just right. there is enough action. Evin in the first episode the characters are not only established for who they are but also some of them have their own personal revelations. after watching the first episode I am satisfied that foundation concept for this show will unravel into a very charming story. A must see!

Good characters. Decent structure. Fine array of villains. Competent scripting. Action a bit restrained for this type of series, with too much of the essential violence occurring off-camera.

Season 2 ends as if they were confident about a renewal. They blew that call. The result was a final fade to black that wasn't as satisfying as the previous 11 episodes had been, a/k/a Paybackus Interruptus. As long as that's not a deal-breaker for you, enjoy the gritty crime drama that preceded its untimely demise.

... there's some of us no matter how good the programming just cannot tolerate very closeup camera work... whatever it is it just gets more & more distracting-annoying... it doesn't take long & you know you're-out.
