Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

onehundredcentre The premise of Hack is compelling, the acting breathtaking in scope and depth and the characters multidimensional and relatable. The realism provided by these flawed, admirable and inspiring characters is not,however, matched by the mechanics of how the plot is carried out.This first scene in the first episode where Olshansky tells the father of a kidnapped victim that he has rescued, 'You're going to cooperate with the police, you're going to testify at trial, you're going to make sure he goes to jail... And I was never here.' Implausibility undermines this gripping drama. A seasoned cop knows that once a victim/witness is caught in a lie, his credibility is finished, his testimony invalidated. Instructing the victims to lie is not consistent with the main character's personality either. This is one example of the implausibility of the way the "I was never here" theme is carried out. Normally, this kind of chasm between real-life and cop-drama is a deal- breaker for me. However, after just 4 episodes, I eagerly look forward to the rest of the series and rue their end --singularly due to the performance of David Morse, his co-stars and the characters they bring to life. "Stunning" is an overused word and it's a shame because it perfectly describes Morse in this role. He is a hero you root for, cry for, worry about. He is commanding, sensitive and can move a scene - and the viewer- with just a facial expression. In the final scene of one episode, when Oshanski goes to his ex-wife's house to apologize for the unnecessary roughness of their life together, his face is a world of pain. So big is his command of that scene, it eclipses the need or even the desire to see it happen. The supporting actors' "chemistry" with Morse are all poignant. They deserved a more realistic script to carry out a dramatic idea.We are hero-needy and where better than in the rawness of a cop- to-the-core driving a taxi? Even a decade later. Or, rather, especially a decade later.

thebigeasy540_ A show about a disgraced cop turned cab driver.My first reaction when I saw it?I was impressed with it's originality and refreshingly good scripts.This reaction was sustained throughout it's entire lifespan.David Morse plays a cop with warmth,humanity and depth-some one you could easily relate to and actually care about.His heart is in the right place as he helps people overcome problems they encounter,this is accomplished with the assistance of an ex colleague.a priest and a damn good conscience.We learn he's had a messy marital split,he's trying to rebuild his life after being kicked off the force.He saved his friends job in the process of doing this.Thus endearing himself as a loyal friend even in the most testing of times.Filmed entirely in Philidelphia.the locations are perfect for this show.With the aid of wonderful co stars you are receiving a well engineered,excellently scripted and superbly acted show about a man who has had to face some difficult situations in his life.No episode was ever monotonous.Unfortunately it was treated accordingly by the networks.Enjoy it on ITV3.

deanl This show is actually filmed entirely in the city of Philadelphia. When I travel through Philadelphia the Hack crew are always somewhere shooting scenes. They even had a Christmas party, for the cast and crew, at a local German Pub, Ludwigs.

Joshua Bozeman POSSIBLE STORYLINE SPOILERS BELOWHack is my favorite show of the new season. I would go further than that and say- it is now one of my favorite shows period. Mike Olshanksy is a former cop turned cabbie turned semi vigilante for justice. He was fired after he and his partner took 8 grand from 40 grand they recovered (atleast, I think he said it was $40k.) It was no big deal...they deserved it for doing their job, for taking a bullet, for being good cops and good men. Some missing money was no big deal. In reality, I agree...these guys aren't saints, but they're not exactly sinners of the highest level either. Olshansky gets caught with the money, his partner doesn't. So, now he is a cab driver, trying to drive his cab to make money. He has lost his job, is facing a felony charge, and was kicked out of his house, where he has a wife (maybe ex?) and a son it seems (they're not really totally clear on that.) Olshansky, not even planning on it, finds himself in the middle of some heavy stuff in the first episode, and even heavier stuff in the second episode. He has become sort of a vigilante, even tho he seems to be somewhat reluctant. He does miss being a cop tho, so maybe he's not as reluctant as he acts. With the help of his former partner, he is fighting crime without being a cop...using tactics that a cop couldn't use. He doesn't need a search warrant, he mentions at one point...just don't arrest him for B and E.Mike proves he is a decent man. He has a close relationship with a local priest, who isn't perfect himself. Deep down, he's got a heart, he's a very likeable character. You care about him, and you care about what happens to him. That works for this show...and it works big. You want more than anything for Mike to get his job back, tho we know he never will..so we root for him when he's fighting bad guys on the street as a part time cabbie part time hero. Mike's partner, who I believer starred in another cop show in the 90's is really good too. We care about him as well. The show takes place in Philly, and we get a lot of gorgeous shots of the city. I have never been there, but after watching the show, I feel as tho I have. We get to see the good parts of the city and the bad...even tho I have no idea if we're really seeing Philly or some area in California that doubles as Philly. Who knows. The series has a really good look to it. Very professional, very big budget looking. The direction is tight, we feel as tho we're in the cab with Mike, fighting crime with Mike...it's right on the money.The show is full of action, but it is also full of cool detective stuff, it's full of laughs (every now and then), and it is full of drama...you can't help but care about what happens to all the characters- even the crooked ones who sell taxi cabs that aren't theirs to sell. Hack is a great show, and I hope that it stays on the air for a long time. I'd hate to miss out on Olshansky's life.
