I watched each and every minute of Harpers Island. I thought it was well done. SOME really grose ways to kill people, after Henry’s brother died, I guessed it was him..I didn’t want it to be him…. but having all the clues leaning toward Jimmy was a dead give away. Henry was nuts but he didn’t look it. I was glad to see Madison and her mom servive and Abby and Jimmy. If they put the series on dvd I would buy it.

Does anyone else think that Henry looks like Hitchcock’s original psycho Anthony Perkins from the movie “Psycho”?

Ridiculous dialogue, emaciated women, characters you couldn’t care less about, dumb, dumb, dumb. I was disappointed.

I happen to love the old slasher style who-done-it movies and I was totally into Harper’s Island I loved it and I know every main charater from something else which is awesome. I am into iHarper’s Island all the way and cant wait to watch the next episode. Fun TV !!!

@Ace: I agree (in fact I think all of the big five would be smart to follow this lead), but I think CBS would benefit most because it would allow it take risks it doesn’t normally take, possibly giving leeway to shows that aren’t procedurals.

I for one am excited about this new model for television (new for the US at least). Kudos to CBS for trying something different right now, since the other networks are stuck in a stale tv rut. I’m really looking forward to the show – it will be good entertainment and not something you take too seriously.

Also, there is an online companion series “Harper’s Globe” that reviewer forgot to mention. It’s a great supplement to the tv show and has already given us a lead on the mystery and characters. Check it out at http://www.harpersglobe.com.

I think it is NBC that should be exploring the 13 and done model, not CBS. They seem to be doing just fine with their procedurals .

Jacob,

Just to clarify, because sometimes it’s easy to miss the byline and I wouldn’t want to take credit for Aleks’ great review. theTVaddict.com’s TV reviewer extraordinaire Aleks Chan wrote the review! But glad you like it.

Great review, tvaddict. I was planning on watching this anyway but it helps to know it isn’t as bad as I was expecting.

And I definitely agree we need to adopt the British one-off standard of producing shows. Fewer episodes means less filler and less time to muck up great shows.
