Truth Seekers

Was looking forward to this series due to it starring nick frost & Simon pegg some aspects are funny but don't expect it to be the typical sean of the dead humour this is very different for the pair also anything supernatural is a plus in my book just wished the episodes were longer but its worth a binge

This show was refreshingly original. It had a great concept and is definitely bingeable. I would have loved a chance for this show to grow and develop, really find its legs. A perfect mix of quirky and funny which always made how dark it could go really unsettling. A good mix.

I just caught this show on Amazon Prime and I am watching through the episodes of the first series, and for me it's annoying that anything remotely decent is buried away on an Amazon TV channel.

It's got a great collection of wonderful characters and actors, with the legendary Malcolm McDowell, Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, and Julian Barratt.

Nick Frost is Gus Roberts by day No 1 internet maestro for Smyle and co, and by night ghostbuster extraordinaire of The Truth Seekers. Simon Pegg is Dave the Head Honcho of Smyle Inc, replete with a truly fright syrup.

Malcolm McDowell is Richard Gus Roberts dad, or is he really?

Julian Barratt is Dr Peter Toynbee is the self proclaimed guru of the paranormal, but is there more to him than meets the normal human eye?

I have seen a few reviews here of this show and of numerous episodes, and the negative comments frankly are from those souls who have somehow managed to miss the entire point of the whole programme.

This show has a blend of elements historical, supernatural, paranormal, enwrapped in comedy, a totally different blend of comedy drama than I have hitherto seen.

Of course comparisons are inevitable and for yanks the default may invariably be the X Files, but frankly that's a somewhat erroneous comparison.

To my mind Truth Seekers is not attempting to merely replicate the X Files, instead its going in a far different and a much more personal direction.

I hope that show goes beyond one series to allow for further character development, as well as eventually being picked up by a different TV provider like Netflix.

This Halloween I had the urge for comedy horror and was thinking of watching Shaun of the Dead again. This show was perfect timing. It combined a good mystery with the paranormal, merged with modern technology. Of course, with a good bit of British humour added in to the mix. Simon Pegg was almost completely unrecognizable in this show. Not only does he look a little different, but his acting was completely unique to this character. Many of his older characters seem the same, both in personality and tone, but this one was completely different in style.

Our favourite British bumbling buddies reunite for an X-filesy/Ghost Hunters inspired horror comedy that is perfectly packaged for a Halloween weekend binge-fest. This is really Nick Frost leading the charge with a couple of new faces, Elton John and Astrid, as sidekicks. It wasn't hilarious but it was fun and smartly written. I continue to be impressed with Amazon's entertaining originals. 8/10
