Sorry, this movie sucks

Simply A Masterpiece

Excellent adaptation.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

I could barely make it through the first episode, but I'm glad I did. I find the show consistently entertaining and full of humor. Gradually, a depth of heart is revealed. The characters become real despite the somewhat tongue-in-cheek nature of the series.I'm hoping that there will be a next season. I really don't want to write 10 lines. I don't have that much to say. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog's back. Hi diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle. The cow jumped over the moon. I doubt it. I've been on dairy farms. I haven't really seen a lot of jumping in the old cow corral. Although, I, myself, jumped when I saw a bull heading my way. Up the lazy river in the noon day sun. The lazy lazy river ... blah blah. I was born this way do do do. If I just keep typing, eventually it will say that my review is now ready for submission.

Backstrom is all you need to watch. Grumpy detective, who get into a person and find out with his eyes how he/she is, and how get to any situation. It's starts with a rainy day, red cape and a big cigar. Backstrom looks like he is disinterested of his cases, and love to hunt the suspect, get into their point of view to figure out how they made it. His ex fiancée, let him feel that he could have a change but let him down, when she refused him and tel him about her new boyfriend. His father is a big crag he have to work on it, and by hunting his father he find dirty background of his family. Just kidding, but she should at this point not forget valentine, his roommate, a friendly gay guy who keep his mind up to new ideas. Watch Backstrom, I try not to spoil to much. Enjoy it, you will love it. Who else would miss to watch grumpy detective.

Backstrom is described as a character-driven police procedural but it really is outside of the box. This show has strong cult classic written all over it. Whether it will be allowed time to achieve its market potential is, as of this writing, up in the air (as far as I know ;)What is its magic? It includes: * A fabulous cast of actors creating believable multidimensional characters within excellent, non predictable plot lines. * Really smart direction, cutting, costuming meticulous for each character, and the absolute beauty of endlessly wet Portland. * Huge diverse multi generational market potential. * Irreverence. Really smart irreverence. The show is funny, and in many scripts in this first season, took excellent aim at some of the sacred cows of television stereotypes; non-heroic firefighters, anyone? Just get it done justice? Perhaps the most charismatic believable preacher ever to strap on a gun? The cutest pair of brothers ever to share television housing? (If you quibble on that - take the average.) Even the romantic pairings are beautifully weird; the relationships can't work, they are doomed - and they work perfectly to mesmerize. The turns and twists of the social commentary in this contemporary Don Quiote are perfectly aimed; it is the empathy which irresistibly grows on the viewers as the series develops which keep us laughing, nodding and shaking our heads; it has THE hallmark of a really excellent long term series.Let's hope the people who make the decisions see the remarkable potential in this show.As a side note - I am amazed at the number of negative user reviews posted in January of this year - before the episodes aired. Mostly these reviews compared the show to other comedy-drama procedurals, poorly. Too bad those reviewers didn't see the series - but they prove: this show is different. Beautifully and a little disturbing different.

In this world full of political correctness.. without being a truly offensive character,he has all the both mental and physical faults rolled into one that I have come to expect in detective character reading and shows, and yet refreshing, still very funny and entertaining. A great supporting cast of odd balls that just seem to work .Loved Rainn Wilson in "The Rocker"and plays this part like he owns it. Disappointingly Low viewing figures for Fox USA, but it will grow on you. Sell this to sky Atlantic, I like this more than Castle and even the mentalist,both have dried up.Even criminal minds has run out of plots.Gothams so Dark..Please grow this one on ,its got more to give I am sure.
