Alicia I love this movie so much
Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
dkenthome This was one of Fox Networks first shows as I recall. I always stopped what ever it was I was doing and found a TV to see it. When it was canceled after 13 episodes I felt like I had lost my best friend(s).OH, and if "Retrogasm" is still looking the singer in episode 7 was Bankie Banx. ..... I have the Lyrics :)
Scott Amsden When Key West first aired, I was captivated from the first episode. The original characters and fun story line was truly appreciated. The show was my first introduction to Jennifer Tilly and I have enjoyed her work ever since but I still feel in my heart she will always be Savannah! If this ever becomes available on DVD, I would highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in original characters and inventive story telling. Although not terribly deep and meaningful, you really care about the people in this show. From the Sheriff and his unique way of dealing with minor local offenses to the bar owner and his uniquely Floridian pet you really feel like you would like to move to Key West. In fact, I feel that the real Key West may be a let down after watching this series. Fisher Stevens as Seamus comes across as the typical "everyman" following his dream and finding more.
jdestael-1 During the time this show aired, there were two other shows that appealed to those with a warped sense of drama and comedy, myself included. This show compared favorably with both "Northern Exposure" and "Going To Extremes". I was particularly thrilled with the setting of Key West. Having visited Key West, I could clearly envision the setting, but even for those who had never set foot in the Florida Keys, the show gave a wonderful vision to a unique place in America, not visited by most. I hope that all of these shows will eventually be available on DVD. I was particularly fond of the character Savannah played by actress Jennifer Tilly. Great show, kudos to all who participated in its production.
pickmanmike The fact that I still remember this after ten years is a testament to its quality. Little gems like this always get lost in the confusion of TV board room decisions, I suppose. The plot was unique and interesting. In fact, I always thought of Key West (the island) a little more fondly after seeing this series. Quirky and charming, this short lived, thoughtful comedy had much to give to television and was robbed of its potential. Combining sunshine, humor and free thinking as always something worth watching. Ah well, quality television is now all but completely restricted to channels that you must pay for. Obviously, interesting adventures such as this could never survive on broadcast television.
