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.

Memphis, Tennessee, 1972. Mac Conway and his friend Arthur have just returned home after serving in Vietnam. They reconnect with their families and try to find jobs. However, work is hard to come by for Vietnam vets. Conway gets contacted by a man known simply as The Broker. He recruits hit men for assignments and believes that Conway would be ideal for this sort of work. Conway is reluctant, but is drawn in once he discovers that Arthur has already accepted a similar offer from The Broker. The Broker gives Conway a code name - Quarry.Interesting, gritty, intriguing series. Wasn't always that way though, taking several episodes to find its focus and rhythm. While the first few episodes of any new series are always scene-setting, the scene initially being set wasn't very engaging. There was enough intrigue to keep you coming back, but there was a good chance that you could give up at any time (and I came close on more than one occasion).Then, from a point, it suddenly got quite interesting and engaging. The plot found direction and Conway's character became someone to root for. What followed were some great, gritty episodes, filled with action, plot development and character development.Looking forward to Season 2.

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.
