While The Red Road is not quite in the same league as "True Detective" or "Broadchurch," it is better than most, and it succeeds at drawing dramatic tension not from lots of plot-twist fireworks, but from the long-simmering resentments, private shames and historical injustices embedded in a community few viewers are familiar with.
This is a great show, it gets more exciting with each episode, cant wait for season 3, just wish it wasnt on Sundance but one of the national channels. Hope they dont kill of Marie, she is great, if so I may have to quit watching. It is a FANTASTIC show and hope more people gets to see it.
Certain characters are extremely annoying at times (not hard to figure which I'm speaking of).. but it has an interesting plot with some stellar acting as well.. will continue watching to see how it develops.
The Red Road may not be SundanceTV's strongest drama, but it has a hypnotic power, a strange rhythm of dread that makes it far more interesting than most network dramas.
It’s exciting to watch Momoa and Henderson give riveting performances, so it’s not like there’s nothing to recommend here. It’s just that in watching them do it, you wish the story was giving them more fodder and not bogging itself down in side arcs.
It's truly a world within a world of utter emotion ... Really grabs you, pulls at the inner workings, dynamics of the soul & the world in which we live. Complex relationships (enlightening & provoking)Superb Cast,Great Chemistry between Characters. The Red Road is nothing but straight... It's filled with plot twist & turns...Hills & Valley's & occasionally arrives at the crossroads... That place deep within us that we all question at some point along our journey... "Which way is the way Home??" The path to a better me? A happier place? Follow The Red Road... It's surely to make a difference!
After one episode, it's clear that things are off to a good start, though the pattern has been firmly established these days with Top of the Lake and Rectify. Dead body, local population upset, protagonist struggling with a troubled loved one. In this case, Jason Momoa seems like an exceptionally well-cast lead. I'm a little concerned that the cop-lead isn't going to be able to hold his own from a dramatic acting level. We'll see!
Good acting but the story just isn't believable. I really wanted to like this show but I keep shaking my head saying, "There's no way I/they would do that."
