This show is intelligent, fascinating and plain interesting to watch. Tatiana Maslany is amazing and the supporting case is top-notch. I really enjoy this show.

I'm a big fan of these genre of shows (e.g. Cosmos, Into the Universe with Stephan Hawking).  This is one of my favorites.  The narration by Mike Rowe is superb, he has a way of talking to you like a friend you've known a long time.  Not condescending or superfluous as some shows can be.  Another thing I quite like about this show is the musical score.  It's queued up very well with what's going on in the show, but maintains an air of calmness.  In fact I've come to watch this to help me fall asleep, not because it's boring (they keep it quite interesting), but because Mike Rowe and the music are so calming.  The show manages to be insightful and educational, while also being cinematic and entertaining.  To this end most shows sacrifice one thing or the other.

It's no longer on Netflix, and the visuals are very well done, worth getting BluRay for.

If you're coming to this genre of documentary after enjoying the Cosmos, Interstellar, Stephan Hawking's work, or any other similar work, this is a great show to get more content and a better understanding of How the Universe Works.

It's good to watch a series that has no special effects, no great names and yet delivers a great experience.
The storyline is intelligent and coherent, the actors are great.
I can't wait for the next season!

This show is definitely either loved or hated as most people don't care too much,as I have discovered, for Travellers. Personally I love this show. The culture is interesting and simply fascinates me. I believe this to be one of those shows where the individual viewer must decide ultimately for themself as to whether or not they love it or find it utter garbage. Like I mentioned before, I love it.
The girls are rather young when they marry which is a point brought up by people who dislike it but in our own modern day culture, girls are getting married and pregnant (sometimes just the latter) at 16 if not younger. At least these girls are raised with high morals of no sex before marriage whatsoever. That's perhaps the biggest thing I believe that would make the show inappropriate to some. Its refreshing though to get an insiders perspective into such a culture based on tradition.

I truly enjoy the intelligence of this serious, along with the transition of broken lives made into very useful protectors. I love the way they become a family and are so faithful to one another while living to help people in danger. It is very interesting , has much adventure, excitement, love, commitment, is witty and surprising. All the actors are great and so diverse. Even the dog is such a plus to the serious. I never get tired of watching this. The entire 5 serious is about 100 episodes. The best serious I have ever seen and owned.

This is an excellent show if you are interested in the science that is used to catch the bad guys

It differs enough from Greys, Fringe, Royal Pains and Touched by Angel to be intriguing and feel fresh.  The characters and dialogue seem fresh too, and the leads are likable, Jennifer Beals, Matthew Modine, Joe Morton and David Sutcliffe are all longtime faves.  Edi Gathegi is charming as the young intern.  Visually it's strikingly modern with cool settings and architecture.
It's plenty cerebral with enough jolts of magical realism to keep the viewer engaged in the hunt for answers about the afterlife, and thanks to a good mix of hard science and modern occultism it offers plenty for believers and skeptics alike.

Love love love this show.  Season Six does not disappoint in its extra features and behind the scenes info.  If you've not watched this show from Season One, you're missing out on a special, one-of-a kind tv show. It has everything: drama, humor, wit, charm, romance and family dynamics. I didn't stumble on this show until it was in it's fourth season, and was immediately hooked. Over that summer, I purchased the previous three seasons DVDs in order to catch up - what a treat!!! My husband is now hooked as well. While you don't have to watch the episodes in order, it helps to do so in order to see how masterfully the writers develop the characters and storyline.  I've watched many of the episodes several times, and see something new with each viewing. The writers are EXCELLENT. The on screen chemistry of the two main characters, Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic, is absolutely electrifying. The performances they bring to the show each week, and especially in many of the more drama centered shows, are of award winning quality. Just outstanding. Ms. Katic can express more emotion in one look than many actresses can in an entire script. She is THAT good. Mr. Fillion is charming beyond words. They are a treat together. The cast surrounding them are are gems. One aspect of the show that we especially appreciate, since it is a police procedural, is that it is not graphic the way so many police/crime shows are. You aren't going to see very much blood, graphic autopsy scenes or gratuitous sex.  Mr. Fillion's character has one of the best on screen father/daughter and son/mother relationships I've ever seen on tv. I believe if you give this show an honest try, from the beginning, you'll be hooked as well.  Enjoy!

I had never watched this show until I went on a binge and decided to give it a try. It was hysterical! This is a very intelligent, well crafted, comedy series. It has comedic timing, dead-pan, satire, pettiness, critical banter and characters that you can relate to in real life. These situations and character antics are familiar to that of a colleague, family member, leader, friend, loved one, and even ones self. The cast is phenomenal. More please!

This series is a favorite of mine. But then, I find many of the British shows turn out to be. On the surface, it's sort of a more modern Sherlock based in Canada. But Murdock is a man of many talents, mostly because he's very intelligent and very curious, and in this time period there are so many new things to 'play with'.
The show intorduces many 'name brands' so to speak, in the context of the story line, such as Tessler, and in later episodes, AGBell, and so many others.
Having a woman Dr in this time period is wonderful, both as a love interest for Murdoch and because she is also up to date on many new procedures. And the supporting cast is great.

This series blows my mind.  Tatiana Maslany plays multiple characters so distinctive its hard to believe she plays them all  She is one of the best if not THE best actress working today.  The idea of the show is so layered and interesting, the science well researched and believable, and the story-telling full of surprises.  It mixes comedy with hard-hitting drama, light quirkiness with acts of chilling suspense and brutal violence.  This show is a treasure and I cannot WAIT for season FOUR!

The world of the early 1960s ad men in New York City is brought to life in this classy and fascinating series.  The acting is suburb from every player, the dialogue stays with you, and the cinematography seems like it's from a film of a bygone era.  The series focuses on the mysterious life of Don Draper, the head of creative for the fictional Stirling-Cooper ad agency.  Don's secrets unfold as this first season goes on, surprising the viewer with each new bit of information.  It's a slow burn, but dark humor and subtle nuances in the acting and dialogue make it well worth it.  This is quality television at it's best, and very deserving of it's Emmy wins! I'm completely addicted to this show and I recommend it to any fan or person who wants to catch up on the series.

The extras make the DVD set a great value.  EVERY episode has at least one set of commentaries (most TV DVD sets only have a couple of episodes with commentaries).  In addition, there are a couple of short documentaries that fans of the show will enjoy. The simpler packaging of this set is also preferable to the novelty packaging (in the shape of a big cigarette lighter) that has also been released.
