I am having withdrawal waiting for another season of quickdraw but,I loved hemlock grove and saw it cancelled. I've read the gripes about it which come off as arrogant and silly at best. Girls.griping it's sexist ,critics saying it's too silly I'm sick and tired of.seeing great shows start and stop over and over.if you don't like it then.don't watch it and stop messing it up for those of us who enjoy shows brave enough to be different.The woman are strong characters and if you pay attention you see they are in charge.the black republican ladies are fantastic and again strong female leads.every actor plays their roles to perfection and are a joy to watch It seems as if they enjoy what they're doing and I hope the nay Sayers don't have me losing another great show.

This show is funny, silly, and everything goofy- and it's 95% Improv! YES!!! After speaking to one of the stars (John Lehr) who also writes on the show, he told us that a great majority of the show's lines are unscripted! How talented, then, is this great cast if most of it is just made up! I will watch and rewatch this show for years to come- and you do not have to watch the episodes in order to know what is going on. It's HULU Quickdraw weekend on The Ignorance Equation: Friday at 8pm eastern is Deputy Eli Brocias (Nick Brown), then Sunday at 1pm eastern is Sheriff John Henry Hoyle himself, (John Lehr).

I found this show to be hilarious. The main character Is super funny and witty. It is a super funny concept and one could only that this is how it was back in the day. The little drinking game you can play while the show is genius. Finally someone makes a truly comical western TV show. I was a really big fan of there previous show 10 Items or less. Bob Clendenin is super comical as the undertaker. His comedy is subtle yet absolutely hilarious. I have been waiting for them to come out with a new show. Nancy and John Lehr have done it again. I had a blast watching this season and can only hope for another. My fingers are crossed.

I decided to watch "Quick Draw" after seeing the trailer on Hulu. The concept is hilarious: a frontier town has a new sheriff, but his only law-enforcement experience comes from his Harvard criminology degree. The show name-drops some well-known Wild West legends, and all the typical Western tropes reappear in a new, quirky guise. Unfortunately, the show fails to live up to its potential. First, while the trailer focuses on smart, "Office"-esque lines, the actual show relies more on goofiness and innuendo. Still funny, but not quite what I was expecting.Second, in a tightly-scripted comedy, every line has a job. Some lines provide big laughs while others are only mildly amusing, but EVERY line plays a role in advancing the plot and making people laugh. The same goes for well-done improvisation like "This is Spinal Tap." In contrast, "Quick Draw" has a lot of throwaway time when characters either pause or repeat the same joke while thinking of what to say next. The laughs are widely spaced. And, because the dialogue advances the plot so slowly, not all that much happens. Finally, a lot of the action takes place at a bordello. It was funny in the first episode or two. After that, I realized that the show has NO female characters who aren't whores. It has no male characters who aren't johns. I know the whole bordello thing is done for laughs, but eight episodes' worth of sexist laughs is too much. Similarly, in S1E6,"Nicodemus," the show's only black female characters, in their only scenes, talk about nothing but sex. These women talk much more coarsely and explicitly than the (white) whores ever do. Sexist AND racist: Check.To sum up, "Quick Draw" isn't a bad way to kill some time on slow afternoons. But I doubt I would watch these episodes a second time.
