Quarry’s knack for conveying moral ambiguity and its mastery of setting reminds me of another very good show that took forever to catch on; it was about a cancer-stricken chemistry teacher in Albuquerque who started cooking meth to make money.
There’s a lot of raw material for Quarry to draw from. Mixing Rectify patience with Banshee action is a tall order for any program, and while Quarry isn’t there yet, it gives the feeling that it won’t take too long to reach that point.

The best thing to fill the void after Banshee and Justified. Excellent storytelling, action, fist- and gunfights, boobs... you name it. And moustaches.

SEASON 1
Para mí, ver 'Quarry' supuso una grata sopresa, tenía espectativas, la vendían como el mejor estreno de la temporada. Y la verdad, no defraudó, de principio a fin te absorve en esa ambientación muy 'True detective'. Enseguida te das cuenta de que estás viendo una serie pura HBO.
La trama es interesante y durante toda la serie te estarás preguntando que aquí algo se te escapa, tranquilidad, la serie se va desarrolando muy muy bien con grandisosas escenas y unos personajes, para mi gusto muy buenos, empatizé rapido. Muy buena de guión, madurez, de nivel técnico...
Para finalizar, destacar ese último episodio, ese brutal episódio 8. Y el famoso plano secuencia increíble al nivel del de 'True Detective', aunque a mi, me gusta mas más porque es mas crudo y es Vietnam, ya lo verán. 100% recomendada.

SEASON 1
If the main character at the center of Quarry is familiar and one prone to viewer fatigue, Quarry works because so much of the rest of the show around Mac is so rich.
All together, Quarry feels like it would be a solid ensemble series if it chose to be, but even then Mac would feel like the weak link. As a lead, he’s a nearly fatal flaw.
Some viewers may find Quarry’s atmosphere oppressive and unrelenting, like Memphis in August, and a few more moments of levity would be welcome, but just as many are likely to be seduced.
While the show creates a distinctive setting and has a few characters worth meeting, Quarry never quite makes the case for why viewers should care about the sullen Mac’s increasingly desperate plight.
The show strikes a particular note with great variety, but there are 87 other notes on a keyboard and you start to miss hearing them.
Thoughtful, violent, great music ,beautifully shot. Its a crime that more people don't know about this. The mood and feel exist in the space of Fargo/True Detective/Justified/Breaking Bad, if you like any of those shows or similar I am fairly confident you will love this show.

SEASON 1
Excellent dark drama about the perils of the Vietnam war and its aftermath. Well acted, wonderfully directed (the action sequences especially, as few as there are), and well written to the point that you'd think you're watching an HBO show; it has a True Detective season 1 atmosphere in parts. The finale is a thing of beauty. "Quarry" is only 8 episodes long and is definitely worth the journey.

SEASON 1
If you're a premium TV native that owns and adores HBO's sister network Cinemax, you're in for a terrific treat for your viewing pleasure tonight! This new show by Banshee director Greg Yaitanes is one helluva show that you seriously have to check out. Trust me, it's like you're watching True Detective and Banshee combined but set in the 1970s and trust me you'll definitely feel the burn
Fun fact: Did you know that Oscar Winning Producer Steve Golin did True Detective, The Revenant, Babel, and Spotlight is also involved making Quarry so gripping that this show feels like we're watching an HBO show!

SEASON 1
Wow! First episode of new Cinemax series Quarry is every bit as top-notch as I intuited from the trailer and then some. First things first, the creators of the series have both written for Rectify and one has written for HBO's eagerly anticipated Westworld in October. We know we are in good hands. Then, add in a fantastic lead who will surely rake in some nominations if he maintains his ace game as he has in the first episode. Logan Marshall-Green is one incredible new-er actor on the scene in a league with Tom Hardy (See The Invitation Asap). He's mind-blowingly talented and is extremely sexy, as well. The story is excellent, the camera work is beautiful, there are a handful of incredible non-verbal encounters/moments that speak volumes, the violence is startling, the issues go deep into well-developed character psychology, most of the other lesser known cast are excellent, and the guy playing "Buddy" is just the right amount of quirky and levity the show needs to keep itself from getting too serious....because it really, really is a gritty, serious drama at the core. Riveting, well-crafted and it hooked me in from the first few moments.
First episode is A++++++ I sense a new obsession here. Here's hoping each week builds brilliantly from the extraordinary foundation laid here. Two enthusiastic thumbs up! I am betting this is going to be a series to keep on your radar.

SEASON 1
This series is like watching paint dry, and the finish is not the picture that you wanted to see, or had ever imagined. It labels a premise, that it simply is not.
How many people in this show's intended demographic sit there watching Crime with the GF. None of us do, we open up a brew, switch on an action film, or the sports, and that's the entertainment that we want to watch here. So at which point did we want an earful of something else constantly moaning and murmuring all throughout this series, it takes its clothes off, but it didn't shut up, taking away from all of the settings and turning this series into a complete and utter drag. They also added something else for all the other demographics as well, and this series might as well have been your family soap opera. It was utterly pathetic.
