Train 48 Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
erinedwards6700 I remember this show but I am positively definitely not at all glad that I do remember it because it sucked.Train 48 was an awful daily show with some of the worst story lines and acting I have ever sat through in my life.I saw it from the first episode and tried to get into it (it was kind of like a soap opera) and I desperately wanted to like it because there are not very many good Canadian TV shows especially comedy wise so I pulled for it but after three weeks I was done, I couldn't sit through another minute of it.You'd think after that long I'd be hooked on a story line or something but no it just sucked that much and I hated it. The writing was just terrible, even though it was mostly improvized on the spot apparently still they write the stories they don't just make everything up, and it was very bad.I tried watching again the second season but it had not gotten any better, it was a really awful show.
animal_8_5 Talk about getting the most bang for your entertainment buck. LOW budget? Try NO budget! Looked like it was videotaped inside an authentic GO Train and the actors often seemed like they are actual commuters. The first time I saw it, I had to ask if this was a real thing, or if these people were actors. The producers got not only the effect they wished by doing it this way, but saved them a trainload of toonies.Overall, I was amazed they made the idea work as well as it did and I thought Train 48 was largely successful in its goal of portraying a realistic view of southern Ontario commuters. My favorite shows were the ones with comedian Gary Pearson, but the entire cast did a great job of doing improv, with a skeleton script. And then again, I am still waiting for the DVD release of Global Television's "Night Ride" series from the 1990s.
johnyjoe I tried to watch this show. I tried to enjoy it. I watched it for a month and a half, followed the characters, never missed an episode... but I just couldn't take it. The previews made the show seem like a reality TV show where they just filmed people on a subway, which would have been an amazing idea... but apparently the creators thought TV needed another tacky sitcom.I saw another episode recently, and I was amazed at how little the show had moved since I left it a couple years before. This show is humiliating to Canadian TV. Before considering watching this, try a better Canadian show, like SCTV, Red Green, or Kids in the Hall.
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.
