The only problems with this show are: 1.) It's called "Terriers" 2.) It's on FX.If this show were called something better and if it was on HBO, Showtime, or a major network, it would have had rating that were through the roof. It is one of the best shows I've watched in long time.The title is terrible. When both my wife and I saw that this show was rated highly on Netflix, we almost still didn't watch it because of the name.Donal Logue and Michael Raymond James are awesome in their roles. I really hope they end up on a similar show. Maybe this time on HBO.

I kind of feel bad rating this a 7. The story line was solid and the casting was great. I think the dialog was saved by the cast. I don't know why it got canceled because it certainly deserved to have its plot lines finished. I may just be jaded when it comes to cop/drama shows because of The Wire and Luther, but I think it's a hard sell to have to tone down what that world can look like for network TV. At the end of the day, I enjoyed watching the show, but it never called to me with that itch that just needs to know how it ends. Even knowing it's not coming back I'm left basically shrugging my shoulders happy to imagine how the plots might resolve.I think that's the problem, I feel like I could write it.

This show was so well written and the cast had such great chemistry, I still can't believe it was cancelled by FX. FX didn't actively promote the show and I think they dropped the ball here. Too bad. This was an excellent drama with great, real characters. Donal Logue is a fine actor and played an ex-cop with an alcoholic past. The character was often shown at AA meetings dealing with his problems in a very real and troubling way. I hadn't seen that before and it was inspiring. I still hold out hope that it might get new life on a different network but sadly, most TV is about cheap reality shows with insipid people wallowing in shallow, petty, mock-drama. No thanks. I like my drama with some art to it.

I was very, very disappointed to see this show was canceled. Logue and James had tremendous chemistry, and you found yourself cheering for every small victory these lovable losers achieved. Most of the minor characters were interesting enough, but a tad generic. The ex-wife who moved on with her life, the confused girlfriend who grew tired of waiting for the ring, the stereotypical villains, etc. I did enjoy Karina Logue as Stephan Dahlwork, Hank's mentally ill sister (and I'm guess, perfectly healthy sister in real-life!). I can't wait to see what Logue and James do next, although I'm doubtful either will find an acting partner who will complement them better. Logue nails whatever part is given to him, and James seems poised to be an up and coming actor, so I'm confident I will be entertained.
