Reviews

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
maximroy Train 48 was incredibly boring. People doing bad improvisation and trying to be dramatic or funny or even worse dramatic and funny at the same time. I don't understand how a show this boring and poorly produced could ever make it onto TV, they didn't even have a writer for crying out loud! Actually I do understand they did it because it was incredibly cheap and a Canadian produced TV show. It doesn't matter that it was horrible and boring it just mattered that it was produced in Canada and gave money to some bad Canadian directors/writers/actors/producers. Then the show finally gets canned and they move on to the next horrible Canadian produced show that has no hope of success and no hope of finding an audience that actually would want to watch it. It was on every day and must have taken about three minutes to write. The problem is when you don't have much going on and you let all these actors "improvise" all their lines you end up with pointless scenery chewing and overly dramatic scenes that nobody wants or needs to see just to fill in the extra time.
ljfreebairn While I was visiting in Ontario, I happened to watch Train 48.Loved it. I can hardly wait for it to come out on DVD, it would be great to have the series.I found the humor amusing and the acting real. I got caught up in the lives of the train riders. I found their experiences something I could relate too and found it humorous. Dry humor, very Canadian.I liked the show so much, I tried to get Canadian TV here in Tucson, of course it didn't work.I'm just waiting for it to be released.
Rtousi Train 48 is a concept show. The entire program is ad libbed by the actors from a rough outline given to them by the producers. The show revolves around a set of unique commuters on a train from Toronto to Burlington. The show is taped each afternoon of the evening performance so the show is topical and up to date. The show needs a couple viewing to truly grow on you. Once you get to know the people and get over the hard to swallow concept that these people would actually become so involved with one another when all they share is a train ride home, the show becomes real fun.
kcompeau I'm a loyal viewer of Train 48. Haven't missed a single episode. While it was a little rough going the first couple of weeks, as the cast tried to iron out the quirks, habits and eccentricities of their characters, they've all now settled into their roles and are no longer the one-dimensional stereotypes they were in the beginning.I appreciate that the entirely improvised show is sketched out and performed early in the day, then edited and put on the air at 7 or 7:30 pm across Canada, Monday through Friday. They even did a show on Canada Day! Now how's that for being dedicated professionals, eh?This is a great concept. Very well executed. And while it is only a 13 episode series, I sincerely hope it comes back for another 13 this fall or early next year.Kelly J. Compeau
