Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
notanaxkiller-107-287911 A good show. Maybe it can become a VERY good show. Great concept, the struggle to resist widespread evil, or maybe even at times the desire to embrace the banality of life, with fine characters, and a good cast. I found it subdued, yet powerful, and am looking forward to the next season. It will be interesting to see how much the characters can rationalize their actions, without losing their core beliefs. And finding out what their core beliefs REALLY are. Nicely done.
lmastromartino I started to watch this series after watching the previews that recently aired,the story line seemed to be very unexpected and I thought I would watch an episode to see what it was all about. The story has so many levels which truly makes it an excellent watch and I found my self sitting down on a Sunday and watching all the episodes that had already aired..long after the last one was viewed it stayed in my thoughts as I went about my work week.. so I wanted to share my thoughts with you.. This is not simply about a drug dealer who has the thirst for power over a small community not only in Canada but of one man who has affected the lives of those that are forced to work for him in Mexico as wellif you dig a little deeper and as the plot unfolds you see a man that has his own demons to bear,, The pastor and his family who have lead a sheltered life and who have a true belief in their chosen faith are tested and tested again,, which raises the question at what point does a family shatter or a persons inner belief become in question this story has all the elements of an excellent story ready to be read or witnessed thru the viewers eyes, we all must walk on the path of our own road of life and the journey and experiences that we encounter along the way truly shape us into who we currently are and by choice who we choose to be. My thanks to the writers the producers and to the fine actors that have brought this to life,, well done !!
Rob Macleod Member of Mennonite congregation gets bumped up to paster. Meanwhile another senior member of the sect, who also went for the paster role is running one of the largest drug importation businesses in the U.S. on behalf of the Christian based Mennonite MOB. As the local police somehow stumble upon finding out that the group are also premier league drug distributors, the paster ends up being the defacto leader of the Mennonite local mob as they arrest the previous leader. Acting is good, screenplay, direction and everything delivers entertainment. But please, half of the membership ultra religious Christian sect also are drug dealers while the other half don't know anything.
TheMysteryLover Review of CBC's new show, PURE!: Canada's into hockey, NOT HOKEY!!! By Dale Friesen (Mennonite researcher) When I first heard of the potential and premise for this new show back in 2016, no doubt I was greatly intrigued. Who wouldn't be if they were in my situation. Coming from such an unusual situation, myself, (and ironically with the Mennonites being from a "subdued" history), I had worked my way into mainstream entertainment and media ventures, thus I have seen so much of what the "real" world is about.Now I wasn't expecting a high budget masterpiece of a show, but somehow I felt that "Canada's MAIN media broadcaster, THE CBC, could somehow "executive produce" something more realistic.I love stories, especially fictional where the abstract can have it's free reign to carry a person's imagination to any height or direction. And so who's ever fault it is for (especially) the really unlikely aspect of a drugged out and on probation cop (detective), solving this mystery in the way he has been so far is inexcusable writing or directing (or as mentioned, even from the CBC, itself).Now as much as people may want to "roll their eyes" at the premise of a show like this (a Mennonite mob), well imagine this cop, (who "entangles" himself with a "prostitute" - I won't give away spoilers, here), also "flukely" finds a "Bible" at his crime scene of the wrecked car, "bumps" into his old buddy from high school ... meets up with the daughter of his old high school flame (who's also involved - because of his son, no less), and then in totally hilarious fashion, "drunkenly" falls into a lake in search of a clue, from the little boat he's in - that just so happens to be near by?????? What else can possibly get crazier, yet, in the remaining four episodes? I always try to be overly optimistic in all circumstances, etc., throughout life, but in all honesty, should I be laughing or crying as to what I've seen so far?But not to be too hard on CBC, here, yet to sort of counter all of this with the "American" drama put out a few years ago called the "AMERICANS" (Russian spies who fake being Americans), this CBC show can't be all that bad. In my own opinion, "The Americans" had such a good premise as well, but also failed with it's hokey antics,too, and they had a much larger budget. Now "The Americans" show is still running and I've managed to keep my interest up with the premise of that show, so maybe I'll still manage to stay with PURE too, as it may get better ... hopefully. ... Anyway, if the lake can stay frozen long enough, I can go play some hockey, now.PS. Some great scenic shots of the country side, though!
