Crappy film

An action-packed slog

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I stumbled upon this excellent series just recently; having only seen the original 1933 film, BBC TV adaptation and the clever 'Memoirs' 1992 film.This is a very solid, thought provoking adaptation and closely aligned to the original premise.The mono solarisation effect to show the world through Darien's eyes and that when he sloughs off the quicksilver are well constructed and the visually support the story line well.At the time of writing, I am only 2 episodes in to the series but the characters are well established and it is interesting to see how Darien's initial reluctance to have any involvement with the Dept. of Fish and Game has now been tempered by his wish to help put right various 'wrongs'!

a series who remembers many S.F. productions, crime and mysteries. but it seems be little more than resurrection of classic recipes. interesting for the smart use of old pieces. and for the good performance of Vincent Ventresca as a character between worlds. the humor, the precise construction of characters - ambiguity is basic ingredient - makes it familiar and , in same measure, different. a film who not gives really something new but seduce. a cold charming chef, a strange couple - in long tradition of deep different cops who makes great team - , the nuances to old story by Wells and, sure, the action scenes , the naivety and dialogs are inspired parts of a good work.

As part of the I-Maniacs and a member of both the official and one unofficial bboards, I can't go by without commenting on HOW GREAT THIS SHOW IS! This show has interesting storylines, an (as far as I know . . . or care) unprecedented premise, and great character interaction. That has to be one of my favourite parts. The banter between Darien and Bobby makes it seem almost real. You get the feeling that these are real people and not wooden actors reciting what they memorized on a piece of paper. Oh, and SCREW YOU, SCI-FI CHANNEL! See, they didn't renew it for a third season which makes NO FRELLING SENSE WHATSOEVER! With a huge fanbase and great ratings, it was their number 2 show. If any network that might even be slightly game is out there, just know that this wonderful show is looking for a home. Over 600 willing fans will follow this show to the ends of the earth. I'm sure we'll check out some of your other shows, too. Okay. The end.--Her Majesty Queen Tragos of the Goats, all powerful queen who could have you executed at her slightest whim. Do not anger the goat queen for she will order her loyal goat minions to throw you into the Pit of Doom which holds one, slightly angry, female chupacabra and one recently added Greek chef.

This series is great and not to mention fun. The goofy persona of Vincent Ventresca's character Darien Fawkes is refreshing and realistic. I like that the character is so offbeat, It's nice to see a series that isn't so sedate. I have to give the creators snaps for coming up with an excellent spin off of the original film. I look forward to watching every week.
