smoke0 A star athlete who wants to give it all up to be a girl, ooh, how weird. You can wear a dress and still be the star athlete, ya know? And the kids not accepting him (while embracing the weird cop's weird grade school daughter)? Kids today are more accepting than any other generation, so that was weird, and if they were religious freaks they certainly didn't behave that way, so that was weird. And most weird, what was up with all the incest, is that supposed to be due to living in a small town? Uncles and brothers, maybe dead dad too? Just totally weird, and ultimately not very interesting, which is weird in itself.

gost-68285 I would of so watched this show ...but unfornately anna needs to speak up and speak correctly...sounds like she is hiding a thick accent can't make out what she is saying ...also low volume. The series is made in alot of dark settings which is hard to watch and on top of that not being able to hear the actors is very frustrating and i'm not turning on captioning because that just blocks the view....get with it Encore and anna speak slowly and louder.!!!!!

leftover A troubled detective with a troubled past in a troubled town full of troubled people runs into trouble trying to solve two troublesome murders of troubled teens. A must see for fans of Anna Paquin, who has little trouble adapting her considerable talents to the minimal demands of this pedestrian and predictable noir flavored melodrama that never quite lives up to the promise of "thrilling and eerie." Nevertheless, the series somehow escapes the utterly tedious as the story meanders from one patch of trouble to the next toward a hammy "all's well that ends well" finale that has characters and cast literally rushing around to tie up loose ends. As Detective Ryder and her troubled family head into the sunset, one cannot help but share their relief that all this trouble might soon be behind them, and wonder what sort of trouble might be concocted in a sequel. Bellevue's Annie Ryder is interesting enough to follow into a fresh situation, especially if Paquin returns.

Mangan I really enjoyed this story in spite of all the unexpected twists and turns. Complicated, weird and even gory at times, but with so many deeply-felt emotions and a real understanding of family relationships (somewhat extreme and perverted here). The setting is wonderfully eerie too with the mine and the woods, the darkness and the snow at the end. The acting is wonderful. I had only seen Anna Paquin in the film "the Piano", and she has retained the passionate intensity of that little girl. Allen Leech is very moving in all his clumsy warmth.I didn't know any of the Canadian actors, but I found their portrayal of these troubled characters very believable. The young girl who plays Daisy is so cute and vibrant she manages to lighten up the dark mood. So much better than many popular shows, it is complex and moving!
