Review of Single-Handed

Single-Handed (2007–2010)
Addictive.
27 September 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Surprisingly addictive.

Ugly humanity set against beautiful landscape.

The stories are almost unrelentingly bleak. People here don't magically turn around and do the right thing when push comes to shove. Instead they continue to show their true colours. No neat endings either.

Welcome change from most dramas where writers always try to force redemption etc down your throat with all the subtlety of a shotgun blast to the face.

No car chases, no csi voodoo, no sped-up hand to hand combat or parkour.

Just a cop trying to do his job and still have something resembling a personal life. Sounds boring and yet the characters are so engaging it's hard not to get caught up in their struggle.

Wish them well.

Thank you.
