Tin Star (2017)
Canadian nature creates a completely unique atmosphere here, one that I haven’t experienced in any other show. Maybe it’s due to the fact that I expected a standard crime investigation show and after watching 10 episodes of season one, I could describe this show in any words except for crime investigation. Tim Roth is playing an incredibly strange and enchanting character who will definitely not sit well with you and will surely feel very strange. Especially when the demon of alcoholism wakes up within him. On the other hand, this is the originality of the series itself, creating a unique story of the supposed new sheriff of this Canadian town. I wasn’t the only one who was deceived, it was the entire police station, too. They were expecting a new boss and they got a man whose past is likely to haunt us for years to come. I definitely liked it a lot. Some of the scenes were so enchanting that I couldn't even breathe. At the end of the first season, I thought that the creators were really exaggerating with the drama, but the final scene still managed to do it and I can't wait for the second season. So, let's be surprised. One thing is clear, however. Tin Star is not and will never be a classic crime investigation show. On the contrary, expect a unique drama from Canadian nature that will keep you awake and draw you into the world of local bikers and natives from the Cheyenne tribe, who complete the atmosphere of this unique Canadian world together. And Tim Roth puts it all together perfectly.
