ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Vonzy I do like this version of "Backstrom" Even if it's based on the Swedish book series by Leif G. W. Persson about Bäckström, but there is nothing that actually are related to this books. The film-company bought the rights for this books but could not handle it, and out of this they made some sort of Bäckström light version. In February 2012, the American production company, 20th Century Fox, has bought the rights to the novel novel about role figure Evert Bäckström from Linda - like in the Linda word and the one who kills the dragon, and that the books would be a television series in the United States. Persson stated to Dagens Nyheter that for his part it was about a hundred million on the bank. After the television company CBS first failed the pilot section, the television company Fox broadcast 13 episodes of 2015 with Everett Backstrom, acting as a police at the Serious Crime Unit in Portland, Oregon. Series creator and partial scriptwriter where Hart Hanson and the lead was played by Rainn Wilson.

starmovie2000 Backstrom is all you need to watch. Grumpy detective, who get into a person and find out with his eyes how he/she is, and how get to any situation. It's starts with a rainy day, red cape and a big cigar. Backstrom looks like he is disinterested of his cases, and love to hunt the suspect, get into their point of view to figure out how they made it. His ex fiancée, let him feel that he could have a change but let him down, when she refused him and tel him about her new boyfriend. His father is a big crag he have to work on it, and by hunting his father he find dirty background of his family. Just kidding, but she should at this point not forget valentine, his roommate, a friendly gay guy who keep his mind up to new ideas. Watch Backstrom, I try not to spoil to much. Enjoy it, you will love it. Who else would miss to watch grumpy detective.

kimbelsey In this world full of political correctness.. without being a truly offensive character,he has all the both mental and physical faults rolled into one that I have come to expect in detective character reading and shows, and yet refreshing, still very funny and entertaining. A great supporting cast of odd balls that just seem to work .Loved Rainn Wilson in "The Rocker"and plays this part like he owns it. Disappointingly Low viewing figures for Fox USA, but it will grow on you. Sell this to sky Atlantic, I like this more than Castle and even the mentalist,both have dried up.Even criminal minds has run out of plots.Gothams so Dark..Please grow this one on ,its got more to give I am sure.

matt-silesia I hesitated checking out Backstrom because of the bad to mixed reviews I've read about it but for Rainn Wilson sake I gave it a try. And was not disappointed.I've seen the first three episodes and I've enjoyed all of them. I agree that the writing could be better but the cases were solid and solved in a believable way (no C.S.I-stuff). The dialogues and Backstroms monologues are quite fun and I laughed a few times during each episode. What I didn't like was that all the flaws and character traits of all the main characters were way to obvious and were introduced within the first 30min of the show.It's not The Wire but then again hardly any crime show is but in my opinion it is right up there with Mentalist, White Collar and shows like that. No flawless depiction of police work but a fun show with an edgy main character and an outstanding cast.In conclusion, yes the self-destructive, grumpy, jerky main character is hardly a unique idea and Backstrom sure does resemble Dr. House and yes the writing is sometimes a bit blunt and may also be factually wrong at times. If those things bother you, the show is not for you. But if you can overlook these flaws you'll have fun with Backstrom. And not to forget: Rainn Wilson!
