A Masterpiece!

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Sorry to say, I'm adding this after the show has been canceled.There are those who have given the show a less than stellar rating, based on its comparison to its Aussie counterpart; that is unfair.Barely out of the gate, having just developed the characters & story lines that make us love them, FOX pulled the plug.RAKE is smart, intelligent & funny. Greg Kinnear's Keegan Deane is the guy you hate to love. Loved John Ortiz' great character development of Ben Leon, coming out of the shadows after the death of his father. With a combination of wit & reality reminiscent of Ally McBeal & Boston Legal, RAKE is the best show to come along in years.FOX is doing itself a disservice by not giving the show its full support, and time to build its audience. With a commitment from cast & crew, some of the finest in the industry, and with a growing audience, FOX should have extended the same commitment to the show and to its viewers.I really encourage FOX to bring back RAKE, give it the support it deserves, and ride the wave of success this show will attain!

Rake is awesome! We look forward to watching it every week. This is the first series that we've have seriously considered since Seinfeld. If you like that slightly off sense of humor, you will love Rake. Some people just don't get it! We DVR it every week just in case we can't watch it. We laugh, we are excited to see what comes next and if FOX cancels, after moving it's time slots around too much, they are are stupid! Greg Kinnear is a great comedic actor! I used to tape Talk Soup back in the day when he was the host and this is great, just like that was! No one has hosted that show like he did. Look up old versions if you're not familiar. His timing is impeccable!

I have enjoyed the Aussie version for 3 seasons now. And though similar story lines, I have quite enjoyed the American version and twist. At this point Clever Green is still my "fav" but I am a fan of Kee and hope it does well.I don't know if the creators intend to mirror the oz version or not but it would be nice to see them deviate and take a truly USA twist. Some may argue it has, but I am a huge fan of the OZ version and want the popularity to grow so they can keep the character going! If you are even mildly amused with season one - just hold on because you wont believe what is going to happen next to poor poor Kee... Let's hope they don't scrap it before it hits its stride. I believe it could be bigger than House. To bad the USA censors are still locked in the 20th century! hint hint

You know, people have almost a religious view on remakes - it's a human trait to do this - I LOVED the Swedish "Bridge" and the US "Bridge" - the remake was familiar, but in the end, it stood by itself, and while some of the changes we're unexpected/annoying, the show was great.Likewise with Rake - It look me a few watched to get used to the Aus Rake in 2008 for me, and found the US like that too, and to expect the US Rake to be anything other than it is, is ODD... it's great, they have kept most of the really excellent sub-plots (such as the son's love life), and re-worked the crimes plot lines really quite successfully (considering how different the US legal system. So - US viewer - watch and love, Aus viewer who can't watch this within it's context - stay away, and let the US fall in love with a wonderful character and complex plotting (as in, nice use of shelving between episodes).
