    Joffé drops the thread before it gets anywhere, distracted by another shiny object or revenge-thriller reference. Though it has some lofty goals, the shine quickly comes off of Tin Star.

    Tin Star's attempts to out-bloody its predecessors backfire because the brutality is too cartoonish to take seriously. ... The more blood the series sheds, the less weight the violence seems to carry. ... None of the female characters are given much depth in the first five installments. But their struggles are still preferable to the umpteenth iteration of "Blokes Behaving Badly."

    With a tin ear for nuance and a heavy hand with characterization and plotting, this contrived and unconvincing crime drama set amid the splendor of Canada's Rockies reminds us how easily show like Fargo or Ozark could go off track if we ever felt a step ahead of the predictable action. [2-15 Oct 2017, p.15]

My husband stopped after episode 3—"I'm sorry. I don't like anyone in this show." I was still intrigued (and am also a sucker for the dark comedy element, British accents, gorgeous scenery and Canada in general), so I watched the rest of it. When it became evident that gallons of cheap whiskey=superpowers and that "comedy" was missing from the "dark comedy" bit (unless you find kneecapping funny) , I still held out for some kind of twist. I should have listened to my husband. The whole thing was just ... off. Rowan Joffé needs to attend Coen Brothers 101.… Full Review »
