Summary
Reviewers say 'Mad Dogs' offers a blend of friendship, crime, and adventure, with strong acting and suspenseful dark humor. The exotic setting and cinematography are appreciated, though some find the characters' decisions unrealistic and the plot inconsistent. Comparisons to the original British version are common, with mixed opinions on the remake. The show's mix of drama, comedy, and thriller elements is noted, but its execution receives varied reception.

I tried more than once, and finally stuck with it for more than a few minutes and got hooked. One of the things I liked about it is that generally the elements of the story are plausible. Believable. I am not a fan of stuff like Squid Game. Funny. Suspenseful. Terrific cast. Loved it.
Judging a show off of just seeing the pilot is usually tough (some quality series have started out with a mediocre pilot emerging into an awesome show...)
However-Mad Dogs nailed it!!
Intriguing plot kept my attention throughout the entire episode, while trying to figure out what might be coming next/what direction they might go with the series.
Fantastic cast!!! Owning their roles in the first episode.
When can we expect the full first season to be released?!
Leaving us hanging, Amazon!
Must see more - STAT!! :)

The only thing I knew about this show was that it starred Romany Malco and Billy Zane and it was about some guys in Belize.
After seeing the pilot...I was blown away. The quality of the show is excellent! Drama, Comedy, Sex, Mystery, Intrigue and more!
The story is easy to follow yet mysterious and intriguing. You want to know more and more as it progresses.
This pilot gives you that feeling you had when you first watched a show and were instantly hooked after one episode. We all have shows like that, this is one of them.
WATCH THE PILOT and I guarantee you that your jaw will drop and you will say, WHAT just happened?!?

- It is well filmed - The sound is great - The actors on spot on! Nothing seems fake, it all seems very real.

I REALLY wanted to like this. It started off with a bang. Such great characters and good moments of comedy. But overall, the story meanders from one escapade to the next with no clear focus, so as the series winds on, you may start to lose interest.... Like I did.
I really like it. It's well produced with snappy writing and a good cast....just like the original British series. Ben Chaplin from the original series is actually in this version too.
Wikipedia - Mad Dogs (TV series)
"Mad Dogs is a British black comedy and psychological thriller television series, written and created by Cris Cole, that began airing on Sky1 on 10 February 2011, and ended on 29 December 2013 after four series and 14 episodes"
Which brings me back to the advertising on Amazon. This is billed as an "Amazon Original Series"....WHAT PART OF IT IS ORIGINAL?
Are we to assume that because Americans haven't seen it before, it is original?
