    To me, this movie is perfection.

    This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

    I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

    Lemme break it down for you left-brained folks out there. It is a comedy western. 2 genres in one ! I love improvisational comedy a la curb your enthusiasm, and QD is just as funny. John Lehr is really funny, and I give major props to all those involved with the series. I am a huge fan of Netflix and Hulu for their caliber of programming. It's almost as if they think their viewers are more intelligent and would appreciate quality programming. I binge- watched all the episodes, and paid for it by showing up sleepy-eyed to work the next day. What else can I say ? Watching this show will make you happier than you have ever been in your entire life !

    I found this show to be hilarious. The main character Is super funny and witty. It is a super funny concept and one could only that this is how it was back in the day. The little drinking game you can play while the show is genius. Finally someone makes a truly comical western TV show. I was a really big fan of there previous show 10 Items or less. Bob Clendenin is super comical as the undertaker. His comedy is subtle yet absolutely hilarious. I have been waiting for them to come out with a new show. Nancy and John Lehr have done it again. I had a blast watching this season and can only hope for another. My fingers are crossed.

    I decided to watch "Quick Draw" after seeing the trailer on Hulu. The concept is hilarious: a frontier town has a new sheriff, but his only law-enforcement experience comes from his Harvard criminology degree. The show name-drops some well-known Wild West legends, and all the typical Western tropes reappear in a new, quirky guise. Unfortunately, the show fails to live up to its potential. First, while the trailer focuses on smart, "Office"-esque lines, the actual show relies more on goofiness and innuendo. Still funny, but not quite what I was expecting.Second, in a tightly-scripted comedy, every line has a job. Some lines provide big laughs while others are only mildly amusing, but EVERY line plays a role in advancing the plot and making people laugh. The same goes for well-done improvisation like "This is Spinal Tap." In contrast, "Quick Draw" has a lot of throwaway time when characters either pause or repeat the same joke while thinking of what to say next. The laughs are widely spaced. And, because the dialogue advances the plot so slowly, not all that much happens. Finally, a lot of the action takes place at a bordello. It was funny in the first episode or two. After that, I realized that the show has NO female characters who aren't whores. It has no male characters who aren't johns. I know the whole bordello thing is done for laughs, but eight episodes' worth of sexist laughs is too much. Similarly, in S1E6,"Nicodemus," the show's only black female characters, in their only scenes, talk about nothing but sex. These women talk much more coarsely and explicitly than the (white) whores ever do. Sexist AND racist: Check.To sum up, "Quick Draw" isn't a bad way to kill some time on slow afternoons. But I doubt I would watch these episodes a second time.

    No idea what to expect from this, but definitely enjoyably weird.Basically it's the humour of Curb, Spinal Tap et al transplanted to the Old West.The set up has an Ichibod Crane feel to it, urban educated sheriff brings his city ideas to the backwards west, but it really works. All the cast play it nicely, lots of sharp, deadpan lines, with the undertaker (Bob Clendenin) especially good.The whole thing has an almost homemade quality to it, which is great. It doesn't feel like anyone tried to get them to soften the edges and it's all the better for it.Amidst all the bland stuff out there I do hope it lasts.
