Most helpful review John From Cincinnati

  • Really different US TV Drama

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer from Bristol , 23 Jul 2009

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This is a great US TV drama that follows in the best traditions of HBO. Its about a family of surfers and the strange events which happen when a stranger from Cincinnati arrives in town. HBO pulled the plug after the first series which is disappointing given that this is really original. However, its still a worthwhile watch, despite there only being 10 episodes.

    This is terrible. Not up to HBO's normal high standards. Unbelievable and dreadful acting, flimsy story line and annoying characters.

    A very strange show all in all and I think this is probably the reason it didn't go past a single series. It could've developed nicely if allowed as it has an almost Twin Peaks esque quirkyness about it. There seem to have been a load of analytical articles written on the web about the show and its allegories, meanings and methaphors. The fact that this is the case stands it out as worth a watch if only for interest purposess, you may need a couple of views to understand it and even then the lack of real character depth will probably make you feel a bit undernourished.

  • Surf's up

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By ClockworkOrange (29 reviews) from Maidenhead , 25 Apr 2010
    Wonderfully off-beat, cool and decidedly weird, although it wears a little thin quite quickly, esepcailly as the title character ditches dysfunctional aloofness in favour of inpenetrable borderline-religious gobblydegook. There are some lovely set pieces, that at times might remind you of Little Miss Sunshine. It doesn't quite pull off its initial promise and the story - such as it is - seems to disappear, leaving you frustrated.
