Perfect cast and a good story

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

OK, I understand why many people may like this series. But with so much great television and a desire to minimize tube time Quarry will never make the cut.At 50 years I demand that old racial tension baiting themes that have been a brutal and pointless drum beat since I was 6 and "Roots" came out have lost any ridiculous charm in the half century... the BS must end. Unsavory low of lowest hanging fruit. Lets move on with fresh material or racial harmony... I am over-saturated.All films or television with racial subjugation are now over-exploited, seriously boring and maybe quite harmful as a society that needs to unite. I want to escape! And not be beaten or bored with non-sense of poo stirring stupidity.

So shame that such a powerful series was stopped just after the first season. It exploded in the air. Just a beautiful piece of work, describing characters in such a way that you are glued to your coach. This show has also the particularity for nearly each episode - except between the seventh and the eighth - not to have cliffhangers at the end of one ep. I will talk about this TV show as a lost gem. So shameful. Some violent moments, such as this one in the last episode, where one character has his mouth, lower face, blown up by a bullet.

The writing, acting, production, pacing, texture, city, music: it all works beautifully in this amazing series.The only disappointment is that I have now completed it.Season 2 should be in the bag. It would be great if it is green-lit for more, because this has legs.The subplots and twists that have luxuriously unraveled throughout are truly entertaining, and every actor is giving the command performance that is truly a joy to see. Very human and believable.Quarry is a series that will stick to you in a good way.

It is like a bunch of millennials sit around patting themselves on the shoulder thinking how can we insert our millennium into other history. That result is just painfully convoluted as it tries to hit every demographic, but completely misses any point. That point was Crime set in the 70s, the music was good when it had its beats, but you tell me that demographic and that market, and there is no amount of fake news going to tell me otherwise. Not some new age marriage counseling trying to hit couples, gays, children and who knows what else.This show was wrong, it failed on many of its expectations towards that content, because that message got obscured into something else completely different, and there are a million other shows doing that other job. There were so many times throughout this series where you literally get so annoyed at it, shouting shut up, or you simply turn it off fast forwarding it onto the next scene.I didn't even watch the ending episode, I fast forwarded all of it, because it had run out of crime, so it then jumps to war, mixing up that genre to make a father Christmas, or a guardian general and I couldn't even tell you what that was about, because I simply didn't care for its beach bum, that's right built their own swimming pool.Yawn and Yawn. But if some how you like taking the missus to a crime show, and then getting bombarded with counseling, go ahead and enjoy. If not, avoid it at all costs, because this show simply isn't going to be your genre.
