Low Winter Sun Audience Reviews

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
coloredearth Low Winter Sun is truly different than other cop dramas - it is more realistic in the way that the characters interact. Also, the story is very heavy and fast- paced. They don't deal with too many 'side-issues' and dwell about 70-80% on the main storyline in each episode. (It always annoys me in a story-heavy series when they introduce completely inane side stories to delay telling you about what you really want to know.)I absolutely love this series and my only problem is there was only 10 episodes! However, I can see what an intense challenge it would be to create 22 or 24 episodes of this caliber. I really and sincerely hope they keep it up.
zombiebird This is without a doubt 1 of the best dramas of 2013. A compelling story spread out over 10 episodes, with complex characters, a solid storyline and a satisfying ending. What to me stands out the most about this show is the story. This is not some cheesy drama with bits and pieces stitched together or some crap show where they started off with a good story and then scrambled to fill the pages. There is no scene that doesn't really add up, or make sense in the larger story; There is no little annoying episodic arc story that only lasts a few episodes and doesn't fit in to the greater arc of things; there is no moment where you feel that a character has acted out of turn, said or done something you know that they wouldn't. All those things that make you feel like you're watching some hammy, episodic, so- called-drama which has no substance and will probably carry on for years without going anyway. No, this show is not like that, this for a change, is a good show.To go along with that, the acting and directing is fantastic. Lennie James is brilliant as Joe Getties, 1 of the most interesting characters to come on TV in the past few years. Sadly I don't think this show will get picked up for another season, as it always is, very few people appreciate a good thing. Honestly though, I don't mind, it's better to go out on top rather than have multiple season of crap. The show doesn't end in a cliffhanger, or have any loose ends, so even if it does get canceled, this season will still be satisfying to watch.In short, you'll like this if you like good, fast passed, well told, well acted, drama.(Season 1 review)
lnkhgthrb Man, is this thing convoluted, or what? Detroit homicide detectives Frank (Cop#1) and Joe (Cop#2) feel the need to murder fellow bad homicide detective Brendan (Cop#3), reasons not altogether clear other than he was involved in every corrupt felony imaginable and some of it was about to rub off on them. They drown him in a fish tank while Cop #3 is nearly passed out drunk,then handcuff Cop#3 to the steering wheel of a car which they drive into the river to make it look like suicide. So the car is fished out of the river later, and low and behold, and unbeknown to Cops 1 & 2, a second dead body is found in the trunk with head and hands sawed off. Turns out to be IAD cop (Cop#4), who was investigating Cop#3. Enter Simon, another IAD cop (Cop#5), aiming to find out what happened to Cop#4, who was murdered by Cop#3, who in turn was murdered by Cops 1 & 2. Cop#5 quickly figures out Cop#3's death was murder, not suicide and that becomes conventional wisdom. Who is going to investigate this masacre? You guessed it, Cops 1 & 2. So they they embark on a "relentless" investigation (with Cop#5 backseat driving the effort) that would remind you of Benghazi. In the meantime, subplots develop: Cop#1's prostitute girlfriend goes missing, and he suspects Cop#2 had something to do with it, which of course he did. Turns out Cop#2 was the former partner of Cop#3 and therefore mixed up in his drug deals and other assorted mischief. So was Cop#1's girlfriend, no details given. But Cop#3 orders Cop#2 to kill Cop#1's girlfriend as he is busy sawing off Cop#4's a fore mentioned body parts,threatening death to Cop#2 if he does not comply. Instead of killing her, Cop#2 hauls her across the border into Canada and dumps her, threatening to kill her if she ever comes back. So subplot 1 is Cop#1 spending his off hours trying to find the beloved prostitute girlfriend. Subplot2 emerges in episode 1 when a couple of small time gangstas rob and kill a nobody drug dealer, making off with a large stash of cocaine. Cop#3 was supposed to be there to facilitate the deal, but he is already dead and, alas, the drug deal goes bad. The adventures of the small timers enters as storyline 2, with so far little interaction with the cops shenanigans...except that everybody knows everybody in this corrupt hell hole precinct, and you can bet story lines will intersect in the near future. The verdict is not yet in on this series. Plot developments have slowed way down from the early high body count episodes, some scenes are seemingly irrelevant and do nothing to develop the plot(s). But by now I have ~ half a season of patronage invested, so I am willing to give it the balance of the season to see what happens. I give it a "7" vote betting on the come. Hope it turns out better than obama's Nobel Peace Prize.
brystonmama I watched this because I thought Talking Bad was on right after Breaking Bad. A bit of Bait and Switch on AMC's part but I digress. Low Winter Sun Stars a few actors I was familiar with so I gave it a chance. Very dark looking so much so I am remembering it in black and white. I liked the acting but the storyline seems old, overdone and trying too hard to be gripping. Showing it right after the Breaking Bad for any show would be a challenge. I have to say it was passable at best. This show should have had more originality. Cop who is out for revenge? Been there done that. The cast deserved a 7 but story a 3. Not one I will be bothering with again. Using PVR to record Breaking Bad and Talking Bad but skipping Low Winter Sun.
