    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Truth Seekers' is a mix of paranormal horror, mystery, and dark comedy, drawing comparisons to 'The X-Files' and 'Doctor Who'. Nick Frost and Simon Pegg are lauded for their performances, though Pegg's limited screen time is noted. Humor and jump scares are praised, but opinions on the comedy-horror balance vary. The episodic structure with interconnected narratives is seen as both a strength and a weakness. Homages to classic shows and films are appreciated by some, while others find it derivative. Supporting actors like Malcolm McDowell and Samson Kayo receive positive feedback. Criticisms include pacing issues, underdeveloped characters, and a lack of plot cohesion. Despite these, many hope for a second season, citing the show's potential and enjoyable elements.

    Pegg and Frost reunite for a clever horror comedy

    Our favourite British bumbling buddies reunite for an X-filesy/Ghost Hunters inspired horror comedy that is perfectly packaged for a Halloween weekend binge-fest. This is really Nick Frost leading the charge with a couple of new faces, Elton John and Astrid, as sidekicks. It wasn't hilarious but it was fun and smartly written. I continue to be impressed with Amazon's entertaining originals. 8/10

    Should have gotten a season 2

    This show was refreshingly original. It had a great concept and is definitely bingeable. I would have loved a chance for this show to grow and develop, really find its legs. A perfect mix of quirky and funny which always made how dark it could go really unsettling. A good mix.

    An Hilarious Homage To The X-Files, Through The Lens Of Jaded Middle-Ages Gen Xers

    This is the kind of show that has been missing for awhile now. The acting is perfect (Malcolm McDowell steals every scene he's in), the writing feels familiar but fresh, the humor is organic and natural, and if you loved the monster-of-the-week type of episodes, that's what you're going to get, but with its own mythology arc running throughout.

    On my second watch already, and it's only been out for two days!

    A fun little mystery wrapped in a mix of paranormal and sci-fi

    This Halloween I had the urge for comedy horror and was thinking of watching Shaun of the Dead again. This show was perfect timing. It combined a good mystery with the paranormal, merged with modern technology. Of course, with a good bit of British humour added in to the mix. Simon Pegg was almost completely unrecognizable in this show. Not only does he look a little different, but his acting was completely unique to this character. Many of his older characters seem the same, both in personality and tone, but this one was completely different in style.

    Can't believe Truth Seekers is not coming back.

    I can't believe Truth Seekers is not being renewed. Such a fun show with a great cast. So much boring stuff on Prime and they cancel this creative, interesting show. Not cool, Prime.

    • Trivia
      The very striking abandoned factory used throughout season one happens to be Welwyn Garden City's derelict Shredded Wheat factory. The factory was built in the 1920s and manufactured the breakfast cereal until 2008. A listed building, it is set to be converted into housing in the near future. The town also provided many of the locations for Pegg's 2013 sci-fi feature "The World's End".
