Movie Reviews of Eureka: Season 3.0
Movie Review: This is the funniest whackiest show
Summary: 5 Stars
I was sorry to see the ratings of this incredible funny, fast paced, sometime almost slapstick show brought down by reviewers who are upset because of the split season need to buy the show in two separate, dare I say, tranche. The reviewers do not address what a great and entertaining series this is. Although the network runs it at odd times, like 6 months apart, it is well worth the wait for the next season, be it part one or part two.
That said, Eureka takes place in a mythical town financed by the Department of Defense to develop weapons and technology for use in defense as well as the betterment of mankind, however the later use somehow always ends up like a weapon and threatens to blow the town apart. Jack Carter, the sheriff, is hilarious in his role as the stumbling cop lacking the brilliance of all the Nobel laureates in the town or the understanding of the technology that nearly kills him in each episode, much less his ability to ever pronounce it correctly. However, in every episode he is the one that puts all the parts together to prevent near Armageddon when the technology runs amok and he saves the day.
His interactions with Zoe, his daughter and the various characters at Global Dynamics are well played and full of subtle and not so subtle irony as this non-technocrat saves the day while the rest of the cast looks like a scatter pattern. The writers and directors have done a brilliant job of taking something that is borderline science with a lot of fiction and making folly and fodder out of what we would like to think are brilliant ideas and inventions.
There is a serious side to the show that forms the backbone around which all the antics take place. Season two was the most serious with the death of Henry's wife. I found some of the episodes to be a bit on the dark side but this was all undone in season three. Attributing malicious intent from one of the major characters towards Carter and the town just did not work for me.
If you have not watched this series do give it a try and take it for what it is, a slight drama with a lot of comedy, some just plain whacky stuff.
