Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

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

stevegill-44313 Poor acting and writing plus ridiculous plots. The show is so intent on banter and being cute that it is ridiculous. Situations are not believable. Too bad, such a great subject with so much history deserved better treatment. Pinkerton Agency was professional and serious and should not have been portrayed in this flippant manner. If you watched the show, dis it resemble history? See below.Pinkerton, founded as the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, is a private security guard and detective agency established in the United States by Allan Pinkerton in 1850 and currently a subsidiary of Securitas AB. Pinkerton became famous when he claimed to have foiled a plot to assassinate president-elect Abraham Lincoln, who later hired Pinkerton agents for his personal security during the Civil War. Pinkerton's agents performed services ranging from security guarding to private military contracting work. Pinkerton was the largest private law enforcement organization in the world at the height of its power.During the labor strikes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, businessmen hired the Pinkerton Agency to infiltrate unions, supply guards, keep strikers and suspected unionists out of factories, and recruit goon squads to intimidate workers. One such confrontation was the Homestead Strike of 1892, in which Pinkerton agents were called in to reinforce the strikebreaking measures of industrialist Henry Clay Frick, acting on behalf of Andrew Carnegie. The ensuing battle between Pinkerton agents and striking workers led to the deaths of seven Pinkerton agents and nine steelworkers.The Pinkertons were also used as guards in coal, iron, and lumber disputes in Illinois, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia as well as the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 and the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921. The organization was pejoratively called the "Pinks" by its opponents.The company now operates as "Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations, Inc. d.b.a. Pinkerton Corporate Risk Management", a division of the Swedish security company Securitas AB. The former Government Services division, PGS, now operates as Securitas Critical Infrastructure Services, Inc.

morgan-659-312842 The train was great and the initial setup looked impressively realistic but from then on it was all downhill. Pity there wasn't a real train crash rather than the metaphorical one we had to ultimately endure.This was like a poor remake of a mediocre 1950's western. The dialogue was stilted and dull, lacking any interest and completely failing to contribute to the development of the characters, such as they were, being one dimensional and very, very wooden. Little touches such as the attempts at humour in the boxing of the son's ears or giving him a female boss and just watching his pained expression were just out of touch with the demands of modern drama. It would have been better and more fun if the good guys wore white hats and the bad, black. As it was it was necessary to spend a few seconds reminding yourself that he was OK, he was naughty and he was very unpleasant but unlikely to hurt anyone. Awful.

kmaloneyus I like this show. It is not mind numbing or contain morally objectionable content. There is really not much on television that you can watch with your family. I like how the charters interact with each other. I am not sure how historically accurate it is, but, there are a lot of shows and movies that take license to write what they like.I would compare this show to Due South - if you remember that show - Murdock Mysteries and The Republic of Doyle. Please note these are all Canadian shows! (Not a Canadian.) I look forward to seeing more episodes on Netflix in the future.

mjcrow I love this show. Fresh new characters, good plots and every other word is not a swear word. Non violent and period correct add to a most enjoyable show. A touch of humour also add to the fun. Way above much of the junk we are dished up with on TV today "The Pinkertons" are now under "Securitas" wing but have an admirable history of respect and fair play. The characters gel together well and are most likable. This show hits the button.It makes you think and the twists are always there. Destined for a second series I hope as it should prove popular here in the Uk as well as over the pond. As I said at the header "A breath of fresh air"Do not pick holes with it sit back and enjoy the ride.
