Terriers is an indolent, noir-flecked drama that does wonders with the private eye genre. Go to Full Review
Chris Taylor Daily Telegraph (UK) 10/23/2018
Opting for a scruffier, darker comic tone to fit its Raymond Chandler-esque lead, it made for addictive viewing. Go to Full Review

I'll be coming back to Terriers to see how Hank fares. Go to Full Review
Joe Reid Decider 06/19/2018
Terriers, a show about private detectives, but really a show about charming characters and zippy dialogue in a sunny locale, deserved so much better than the one season and a cloud of dust that it got. Go to Full Review
Matt Richenthal TV Fanatic 06/19/2018
This is a series that can easily switch between a variety of tones, from light-hearted, sarcastic banter between Hank and Britt in their truck to sentimental recollections of a former life... Go to Full Review

05/16/2020 Amazing show that was cancelled well before it's time. See more 05/15/2020 Underappreciated at the time, this was a fresh, clever, unexpected show that deserved a lot more viewer love. See more 04/21/2020 Great characters, storyline, humor. Terriers ranks among my favorite TV shows and it is disappointing that it was not renewed for a second season. I feel that if it were on today, and not renewed, it would be successfully picked up by streaming and have a new, larger audience. See more 02/17/2014 Terriers lasted only one season, but that was enough to make it one of the very best shows that FX has ever aired. As well executed as it was written, Terriers really feels like a taut neo-noir, filled with memorable scenes and characters. It's a shame that it was abruptly cancelled, but perhaps we can find solace in the fact that it makes this one season of television so easy to obtain and digest. See more Read all reviews
