The Calling

Finally!!! A crime drama with a twist! I binge watched this series with my family over the weekend. From the start I was captivated by Detective Avraham's character. I wanted to know more about how his mind worked, where his darkness and light came from, his background. He is such a complexly written and performed presence. Avraham's partner's quick wit and energy are great complements to his deep thinking and flashbacks. They are a great pair.

Whatever happened to Avraham's father must have been terrible. I like the flashbacks and how they're presented mystically. The child who plays Young Avraham is adorable and well-cast.

The Calling's story is gripping, and the acting is phenomenal. I'm desperately waiting for news on Season 2!

Thoroughly enjoyed the show ,very different to the "all Hollywood and little substance." typical cop shows

Love the dynamic between each of the characters and how they all balance each other out, you want to get to know the characters story and lives. It has the perfect balance of their lives and actually fighting crime.

The fact that its an angle of compassion, patience and understanding, rather than "shoot first ask later " is really refreshing. Not copy paste drama but a human element to it.

Hope there is a season 2 would really like to see where they take the story and what else they come up.

This is not your run of the mill police procedural. It was very different and I enjoyed everything about it. The writing, the acting and the production were all very well done. Based on novels by D. A. Mishani, the plots are well-developed and the characters are unique. Each story has twists and turns that you don't see coming at you.

I, for one, hope they keep these characters going with new stories and cases to solve. There are four books in the series, so there is more material to develop.

If you're weary of the angst-riddled detectives you usually see, give Avi a chance.

Don't listen to nay sayers. Give this a chance.

So, i am half way through and just want to say this is one of the best murder mystery law and order csi criminal minds mentalist type shows to hit the mainstream in a LONG time. It is EXCELLENT. Every character every cop every story the intrigue the suspense. If this had come on Netflix instead of Peacock the world would go mad for it. Also as a UK viewer this is RIGHT UP OUR STREET. Its gritty, grown up, funny, broody. Honestly they better renew this bad boy for a few more seasons and also promote it better. The lead detective also reminds me of a young ben affleck but personality of the younger brooder new batman. Go watch it you will not be disappointed!

I dont know if it's only me but I find Avi a little creepy. I know it's supposed to be intensity but his facial expressions and mannerisms freak me out a little. He is a handsome man but something just feels odd. I'm just finishing the fourth episode. Maybe I will get used to it in time but it is a little off putting.

The other actors are doing a good job. I like the banter between him and his partner and the other male detective is good for comic relief

It's a nice change from the usual police drama but I dont love it.........yet. Time will tell if his creep factor decreases or it I give up watching all together.
