This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
... View MoreI loved this from start to finish and hope there will be another season! Great characters and plot. Unlike negative reviewers , I loved the quirky drama. Aussies do quirky brilliantly. Thanks to all concerned!
... View MoreI only watched this show in the first place, because of Ioan Gruffudd, since I liked him very much in "Forever", and since I missed him after the show's unjust cancellation. "Harrow" is a Procedural, and as one of these it is pretty formulaic, like "Bones" over its many seasons. But it has also some interesting sidelines, like a partially disturbed daughter, who plays the homeless drifter out of rebellion, or because of other reasons that have to be revealed (I am through ep. 07), and a big mystery that involves a body, sunk by Harrow himself, that lands on his own table for forensic examination.One complaint here is that there is a strong resemblance to "Dexter", which is a complete misunderstanding of the first two episodes. Remember that Dexter is a serial killer, who channelizes his need for killing by viciously executing criminals who somehow escaped the legal system. He is deeply psychotic and a sociopath, though sympathetical and, sometimes, even justified.Harrow's work isn't anything like that, it's not even as bloody or gory as "Bones" is sometimes. Harrow himself is just an intelligent, capable, very good looking, with a voice of silk speaking chaotic Pathologist, most likely as he was in "Forever", but without the immortality.Every episode is structured alike, the said body from Harrow's secret gets some attention and progress, problems with his daughter and related to his ex-wife come to light, and a case is solved. And, since the main character seems to be solo since a long time (as he is very good looking, but also a nerd), he also gets kind of a love story.These ingredients, combined with decent acting, a bit of humor, and good production values make "Harrow" one of the better shows, if one wants to be entertained nicely. The father-doughter-troubles are somewhere interesting for me as a father of two daughters.I agree on some complaints that not every script is the most ingenious, there are some strange outcomes which may or may not be facepalm-worthy, but since "Bones" did that on a weekly basis (with additional SF elements) and succeeded, why shouldn't "Harrow" do somithing like that, too ?As a German native speaker, I do also realize that Ioan Gruffudd does have an accent a bit different than most of the other actors. But I do not understand the complaints, which are very similiar to those about other productions in the U.S., where foreigners play. By the way, it is nowhere said up to now, that Harrow is an Australian or spent his whole life in Australia.I give "Harrow" show a 7, hoping that it will see a second season.
... View MoreHe is the best actor in criminal TV series. I hope that this TV series continuous for a long time. I keep going to watch the Harrow...
... View MoreWhen you dive into a story that uses Pathology as a ground base for each episode, you would expect that the script writer and effect team do some research on the subject instead of imagining how it is supposed to work/look like! Nothing is realistic, they re playing with bodies like they have no idea what they are doing (because they didn't do any research?), the plots and clues are big like a house and appear on their own, and half the medical facts/anatomy are embarrassingly wrong! i went as far as episode 3, with effort, but then got bored about how bad the story was, how overdone the acting is, and got really annoyed about the inaccurate facts. seriously embarrassing.
