    i stumbled across this series while filling my netflix que i almost passed it over i thought it was a reality show about terries as the title implied,not trying to be funny thats for real!, also mentioned as a series of FX network again i thought not for me probably a sci-fi/ zombie dog/reality type show, then i read the netflix bio and thought i will give it a shot as a big fan of columbo, rockford files series(very cleverly written shows) i figured if it sucked(being from FX) i could delete the series.i watched the first 13 episodes i was entertained/impressed, i scrambled back on-line to load second season only to find out it had been cancelled, i could not beleive it finally a show that was not so outrageously fake like modern family, how i met your mother, among other shows that might seem clever to a simple minded person or a child, in my opinion this show was on the wrong network or the wrong title or both, Terriers was 1 of the best kept secrets on TV! come on cast ,crew, producer, go talk with HBO, SHOWTIME somebody get this show back on the air, if not its back to PBS, 60 Minutes, Dateline , The Middle, Boardwalk Empire, you knows shows where the Men are not so hen pecked or so effemanate(is that how you spell that) anyway throw the terriers a bone! please do not relegate us male veiwers to brainless dribble currently showing on most networks, not trying to be macho just entertained!!! texasrocksmoreless

  • Two friends, one a divorced ex-cop and recovering alcoholic, the other a burglar down on his luck are brought together as a private detective duo. They constantly find themselves in trouble as they solve crimes by using cleverness and street savvy.moreless

    I have to agree with everyone here, Terriers was one of the best shows on TV. Which of course means it HAD to be canceled. I am sick and tired of getting to love an excellent, well made, fun and entertaining TV show only to see it get the axe after only one or two seasons. It is my belief that the North American general public has little or no taste in TV shows and they do not want to have to think about what they are watching. Instead they prefer to be shovel fed all that mindless drivel that somehow manages to survive season after season, after season, after season, after season,.......moreless

    Superb acting by a magnificent cast. This is the best show on TV since "The Shield". There are some familiar faces but most of the cast hasn't been recycled from other programs. Most of the plots entail a believable premise and the writing makes the dialog sharp, intense and honest. The actors make the characters remain true to themselves. There is not "cute" dialog. There is a gritty and honest conversation and reactions. The two lead actors portray characters that are grounded and honest to each other. Each picks at the scab of their own frailties and exposes flawed but genuine characters with their own senses of honor. I hope FX gives this show a chance to make the grade. This is a show worth watching and I hope it gets picked up for many more seasons.moreless

  • A great show to be considered by fans of Lost's first two seasons, where the backstory was key over the later mataphysical junk. Otherwise an intersting show which requires a minimum of suspension of disbelief to enjoy. Here's hoping it comes back.moreless

    Terriers is an interesting new show which should be considered by those who were fans of the first two seasons of Lost, where the backstory was more interesting than the later metaphysical mumbo jumbo. Terriers has included two episodes of backstory to the relationship between Hank and Britt, and is the first who I have found to do it in the fashion originally emplyed by Lost. Three years ago, Britt was a petty criminal who was a witness to a murder being investigated by Hank at a time when Hank was an over-the-top alcoholic police detective destroying both his job and his marriage. He is also pursuing the wton man in the murders. Though the right man was ultimately found, the beginnings of the relationship between Hank and Britt was left at that. Viewers can expect a continuation of the backstory to the relationship, and perhaps some others, when Terriers hopfully returns next season. Otherwise, the story is interesting and leads one to wait anxiously for the next episode. The stories do not lend themselves to a high level of scrutiny and are a bit too contirved for real life. A limited amount of suspension of disbelief is required to enjoy the show but here's hoping the show goes on.moreless
