Jesse T Pretty good story line and acting but feel the writing lacks any sort of structure. I'm not homophonic but the extremely graffic sex scenes are a little much. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Buck W Outstanding TV noir. Great acting. Atmospheric and it stays with you. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Stuart G Stayed with it because of a couple of my favorite players. But it wasn't worthy of my time. Too much gratuitous sex that didn't move the plot, and an altogether disjointed story line. Two stars only for Jeff and Maura, who are good troopers for taking the roles. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Cyndi B Cast is good. Plot is ok. The story of these people is depleting, they have nothing. Their support is so shallow. Sex, drugs, the consistent relentless language-gees. It would be refreshing to see another side-maybe some kind of hope. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Carl C I watched the first episode a couple of years ago but didn't continue because it wasn't free. When it came back on Prime (with minimal commercials), my wife and I started over. This is a series that doesn't adhere to the typical formula of modern American crime shows. Although there are some young actors, they don't look like some clever TikTok influencers from southern California--they look and act like real people. Having lived in SW Pennsylvania, I thought the producers did a great job using the landscape and moody feel for that area and the sense of loyalty that develops among people who are hurting. Even though the main characters screwed up (in some cases big time), they stayed true to each other. The only reason I didn't give this show 5 stars is that there is too much unnecessary violence. There is also a plot line about fracking and water contamination that is left hanging at the end. I'm sorry the show was canceled. The last episode left so many things up in the air that I thought a 3rd season was inevitable. Those of us who like the show can hope for a resurrection. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review Karen P I’m very selective with a show I will start and finish due plot setting characters voice suspense along with the actual writing Many shows I will start and not finish I found the series worthwhile and entertaining I will be disappointed if there is no season 3!
