Hip-Hop-Legend This show is AWESOME! It never should have ended! The characters were really fun to watch, and the situations they got themselves into were hilarious. I remember watching this for the first time and thinking "where did this come from"? The concept was really pretty original, which is hard to do now days. Zombies, Vampires, and Werewolves start becoming real! Genius! I can't figure out why it would have been cancelled. Everyone I know loved the show. I guess they figured it wasn't getting enough views. I REALLY wish they would bring it back! You Listening MTV? We the fans want more Death Valley! Please make it happen!

jaddison10 This show caught me completely off guard. When I was given this series as a gift by a friend I didn't know what to expect. Since then I've finished the first season and it's amazing! Imagine a Reno 911/The Office crossed with a more action filled The Walking Dead/True Blood. Brilliant comedy mixed in with great action and a little drama. Yes there are some plot inconsistencies as far as the whole story about the camera crew following the cops but this show is so very different than anything else out there. While comedy shows are great I often find myself bored after watching a couple episodes in a row. Drama's are also pretty good but are actually a little draining if you watch them all the time. This show has just the right mix of everything to keep you laughing, engrossed, and entertained. The characters may be unbelievable at times, but any good comedy show has that. Look at Community and The Office. The point I'm making is if you're trying to find a series that is 'serious'and has a really rock solid plot line, this isn't for you. But if your a guy (or girl!) who loves action and comedy with a back-story and a little drama, this is definitively a show for you. Cops, Zombies, Vampires, and Werewolves.... What more could you want?

PaulVilla On TV, what I like to see are interesting characters who have great interactions & decent evolutions. To my surprise, this show is delivering all of that! Forget all the gimmicks other reviewers are highlighting. This show is more fiction than mockumentary - the camera-crew are actual characters in the story and they have dialogue. The gore & supernatural elements aren't the reason for the shows existence - they're used to create a humorous & surreal environment.'Death Valley' IS a great "buddy cop" show. The characters are so charming. Each one is "fleshed out", with his/her own beliefs, quirks, skills. When they start interacting, it's just some of the best television you'll ever see.The charm of this show is that the comedy is derived from the friendships between these characters...not artificial & annoying conflict. Because of their jobs (& the acting, & the writing)...you see a group that has a believable family bond. But because of their unique cultural, moral, & even sexual baggages...you get hilarious interactions & reactions whenever those baggages are brought up.Compare this to say...'The Office' (American version). In that show, all they do is parade out any number of ridiculously annoying mental handicaps (Michael, Dwight, Andy, Kelly, etc.). Their unsubtle stupidity & artificial conflicts are supposed to generate comedy.Another thing I'd like to highlight is that this show actually has numerous arcs!. Everything from the macro (police vs. demons) to the micro (Carla vs. John John) evolves as the show goes on. It's all done subtly, but by the end of the season...there are pay-offs on all these fronts (sort of!).When you add this show to 'Awkward', MTV starts to look like a formidable & respectable network. This is praise from someone who's never...ever...thought highly of them.

moviemonkey81 I feel like this show should be good. It has everything in place to be an interesting take on both horror and comedy genres. However, I think the writing is where it all falls apart. The actors aren't bad, completely unbelievable at times though. All the characters are extremely flawed, so to imagine them lasting on any kind of police force is pretty far fetched. I know, ironic considering the subject of the show, but still. An example would be the captain, who is so far over the top ridiculous. He's like Michael Scott from the Office, but even less believable, and he most likely ruins the show for me more than anything else.The show itself, the major flaw is the fake story lines. Most segments do a good job of reminding the viewer they are watching a documentary. Other scenes, like the high school party from episode three, should not have been "viewed" as there was no film crew there to capture it. There were a few scenes from episode two that felt like filler. The captain and the rookie trying to kill a rat at someone's house? That went on for far too long and was not even close to being funny.I would love to say this show was great, as I like mockumentaries and (some) horror films. If the show was simply just COPS with vampires, werewolves, and zombies, I would totally watch it. The writers and producers need to just watch COPS, and then insert their characters into the same situation. The end of episode one used that idea, and it was pretty funny. The cops pulled over a guy in the middle of turning into a werewolf, who was interchangeable with a typical drunk driver. Funny stuff. Too bad the rest of the show isn't like that.On a side note, I'm really surprised this show is on Mtv and pretty graphic. The blood and gore are intense, on par with your standard horror flick. And when did Mtv stop showing music videos?
