Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

concours-13531 Not sure where all the great reviews come from. While I'll give you the show is quirky and different that doesn't necessarily relate to good. For me the comedic timing for the most part was way off and the acting as well.I'm guessing there was a reason why it didn't last more then the number of episodes that it did. I guess there will always be someone that likes this type of production but it sure wasn't our crowd.I'm guessing that this was someone's first attempt at writing and or producing as it had the feel and look of an amateurish production throughout the series. As well I am also not sure why IMDb requires so many lines of text for a review. Sometimes less is more in my opinion.

Fortune_Sparkles I really like this quirky little show. I hope they make more but it doesn't look like it.The show revolves around a young man who is a cop that is given an assignment in the boondocks. The residents of this location are a bit eccentric. Therefore, the calls he receives are out of the ordinary. When I say eccentric and out of the ordinary, I mean the type you only find in the Twilight Zone. However, even though the calls are strange they turn out to be hilarious.For example: A man eats so much chicken he turns into one, A commercial jingle hypnotizes people into mowing lawns continuously, A long dead murderous cat comes back and continues his serial killing where he left off.I found this show on Hulu so I watch the episodes over and over.

kuuk3 The first thing that hits you upon watching the pilot is how strong their accents are. You know instantly where this is set and the tone of the show. To label it as a comedy would be inaccurate, but thats the closest genre it fits in. There is no laughter track, and the music is subdue. You can tell they are trying to be funny with the situations and plot, but then the ruin it with ridiculous character actions that a police officer, or even a fellow human being would not do. It feels very much like a Tuesday afternoon cable TV show, shot on a tight budget with a limited cast and crew. The beach surroundings are given limited screen time, as shooting at night they found was cheaper and had less problems. Thats fine, I suppose. But makes the show dark and the world quiet. Its hard to get absorbed into a world that you barely see or hear.But our main character is barely interesting enough to hold your attention, being depressed for most of his scenes. His night guard / partner has his moments though and together they make the show watchable. But the way they portray the police department is embarrassing at times and how they disrespect their fellow officer is not funny. I will say this show deserves a chance. Watch the pilot and decide for yourself whether its your cup of tea or not. I have to give the show a rating, but honestly this is one of those shows thats like marmite. Some people will love it, while others simply wont "get" it. But it ticks a lot of the right boxes and you can see the people making this have ambition to at least try and make it work.

narellejoyc Have to love Toby Truslove's sympathetic portrayal of Officer Toby Banks, perhaps the only sane person in the eccentric town of Coolum. The series manages to be very funny and truly bizarre, at the same time as evoking real empathy for the hapless Toby.Barry Crocker and Patrick Brammall don't hold anything back in their deliberately off-putting characterisations of Gregor and Sgt Lloyd, creating great foils for Truslove to work with/against.The sections that show Toby responding to the miscellany of inane, strange calls are a highlight. The show reminds me of a grown-up "Round the Twist. It also has shades of series like "Twin Peaks" and "Northern Exposure".
