Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
moviecop180 Between the smart writing, great guest cast and leads in Madssen and York this should have been a classic but unfortunately it didnt get past episode 13. On a positive note it means the show didnt last long enough to hit a bad patch but honestly it is one of a small number of shows I wish had gotten a full series/ mlti series run. Great msic and temendous promos which can be found on youtube
moviez101 I'm going to be the first in line when this comes out on DVD!! Though the show is reminiscent of the 1985 Series, STINGRAY with Nick Mancuso, (which also suffered the SAME only 1 season, no renewal curse) it stressed less on clothing and a cool car, and more on devilishly delicious plots, scams, and every twist in the book in order to nab the bad guy all the while messing with their heads and even sometimes there lifestyle/livelyhoods. Every episode had their evil deeds displayed to them in the most original, moral dilemma, make 'em squirm, way that makes Mr. Chapell's "One Liners" more enjoyable than a Schwarzenegger flick that only Mr. Madsen can deliver. "I had my fingers crossed. The whole time. The entire time. (moves his fingers to normal) OhhH!! I was beginning to cramp!" Or the ending of "Dishonorable Discharge" about how he feels about his job "Yeah, its very rewarding, even when you don't get to see the results in person" as the scene cuts away to the criminal taking his first shower in prison and a moment later 4 bald tough regular prisoners enter the room, bullettime slow motion, with the music "It's Raining Men" Halaluya!!! This was just a sampler of what each new episode had to bring to the plate. Storyline over guns and ammo, thou they were used time to time to when it helped move the story forward. A well placed dead hooker here, and a briefcase switcheroo there, and justice was almost always served best, in reverse for the villain in the end. Sometimes using the very tools that got them off scott free, against them, confusing themselves and the viewer to ask out loud "What are you talking about?" just to see the final dominoes all fall in place in the nick of time. Making an exit that usually meant that the "Favour" was payed in full and...."I'm out of your life...Forever" answered back with "THANK GOD!!" Or the one million dollars...... ;-)
sideways8 My wife and I thought this the best ever TV show we've ever seen. Chapel was clever, witty, ruthless, unflappable and inexorable in his desire for justice for the afflicted. You could not stop watching this show. ABC confirms the rock headedness of the average TV bigwig. They just don't get what really grabs us. Putting it on opposite Friends and Frazier (both drek) just confirms that they wanted this series to fail. I got my DVD copies from the listing at the bottom of it's IMDb.com web page and they are not bad. Go get 'em.Oh by the way, TCM showed "The Public Defender", Richard Dix (1931), and if you look at that you will see that Vengeance is loosely based on the ideas expressed in that flick.
esrogs This show was great. I think I only saw two episodes, but they were fantastic. I wish this show was still running. It was fun, exciting and suspenseful. I don't know why it was canceled. Maybe the time slot, maybe the name turned people off, maybe it wasn't hyped enough (I just remember finding it whilst surfing one day).
