Fresh off the stagecoach from Harvard, Sheriff John Henry Hoyle faces an uphill battle in his quest to introduce the emerging science of forensics to an unruly Kansas town. Though the citizens of Great Bend, Kansas are generally unimpressed with Sheriff Hoyle's educational pedigree, they come to appreciate his sharp mind and sharper shooting as he and his reluctant Deputy Eli hunt down robbers, murderers, and the dangerous riffraff that have plagued the town for years.

Nancy Hower (Co-Creator/ Director) admitted in an interview that because of the completely improvised script of the show, she will keep a camera focused on John Lehr (Sheriff Hoyle) at all times during a scene. This allows her to capture all of Johns performance as he has a tendency to move around a lot.

No idea what to expect from this, but definitely enjoyably weird.

Basically it's the humour of Curb, Spinal Tap et al transplanted to the Old West.The set up has an Ichibod Crane feel to it, urban educated sheriff brings his city ideas to the backwards west, but it really works. All the cast play it nicely, lots of sharp, deadpan lines, with the undertaker (Bob Clendenin) especially good.

The whole thing has an almost homemade quality to it, which is great. It doesn't feel like anyone tried to get them to soften the edges and it's all the better for it.

Amidst all the bland stuff out there I do hope it lasts.

I can't get enough of Sheriff Hoyle and his crew of misfit characters.

John Lehr and Nancy Hower have created truly funny show that brings you back to the days of Waiting for Guffman and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Anything can happen and there's a surprise around every corner.

John Lehr's wit and timing keeps you laughing all the way through. In fact it takes more than one viewing to catch them all, they go by so fast. The whole cast riff of each other with equal abandon and have successfully created quirky characters in equally quirky situations. What comes out of there mouths is crazy and sublime. It's fun and witty and fresh all at the same time. A definite must watch.

I found this show to be hilarious. The main character Is super funny and witty. It is a super funny concept and one could only that this is how it was back in the day. The little drinking game you can play while the show is genius. Finally someone makes a truly comical western TV show. I was a really big fan of there previous show 10 Items or less. Bob Clendenin is super comical as the undertaker. His comedy is subtle yet absolutely hilarious. I have been waiting for them to come out with a new show. Nancy and John Lehr have done it again. I had a blast watching this season and can only hope for another. My fingers are crossed.

Quickdraw is a great new original series from Hulu. The show is not an "authentic" western in any sense. It is a contemporary comedy set in the "Old West" of Great Bend, Kansas. If you like "The Office," you should like Quickdraw, as well. It has a similar feel of improvisational comedy (although The Office wasn't improvisational, it certainly had that feel to it). The comedy is quite funny, although it contains humor that may be inappropriate for younger viewers.

Casting for the main characters is fantastic. The show stars John Lehr as Sheriff John Hoyle. Lehr reminds me a lot of Jason Bateman in Arrested Development. He is a Harvard graduate who has taken the job of Sheriff in the small town of Great Bend, Kansas. He is like a fish out of water, as the saying goes. His character is very "book smart" but without a lot of "street smarts."

Nick Brown plays his deputy, Eli Brocias. As of the first few episodes, this character hasn't been fleshed out very well. What we do know about him is that he seems to want to have nothing really to do with enforcing the law. Apparently, being a deputy only pays the bills. He tries to avoid criminals and arresting anyone as much as possible.

Allison Dunbar plays a bartender and prostitute. She is something of a love interest for Hoyle.

Bob Clendenin plays the town undertaker, Vernon Shank.

A brief word to the reviewer who stated that "the Kansas scenery is realistic." Uh, no, it isn't. I actually live in Great Bend, Kansas, the supposed location of this fictional series. Great Bend is located in one of the flattest areas of Kansas. There are no mountains within a three day ride by horse, let alone in the background of the town. In fact, if you had stood in the center of Great Bend when the town was just getting started, you would not have been able to see a hill, either. The sagebrush is wrong for this area. The rocks used in the series are wrong for this area. Nothing about the scenery fits the real Great Bend, Kansas. However, that doesn't distract from this charming show. It still has an "Old West" look and feel to it, even if it doesn't match reality.

This is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen in my entire life! (I was literally bursting out with laughter several times each & every episode),

This hilarious 1875 Western (Kansas) comedy also has a good/solid narrative underneath all the slap-stick, raw humor as well as talented actors & actresses.

While it does not have a content rating, I would say 17+ years of age is a safe bet.

Quick Draw is a refreshing oasis of humor in an overly scripted and strained world of sitcoms that are either trying to hard, or not trying at all, but simply rehashing the same overused formulas that were funny at first but have grown repetitive.

Quick Draw jumps out of the gate with exceptional chemistry between the cast members, who are all improvising their lines in every scene! You can tell how much they enjoy their roles by the extent to which they truly delve in their characters and bring them to life. Improv acting takes infinitely more talent than reading off a script, and it shows in the results of this fantastic series.

Trust me, you'll love this show as much as I do. You'll be glad you gave it a shot!

Lemme break it down for you left-brained folks out there. It is a comedy western. 2 genres in one ! I love improvisational comedy a la curb your enthusiasm, and QD is just as funny. John Lehr is really funny, and I give major props to all those involved with the series. I am a huge fan of Netflix and Hulu for their caliber of programming. It's almost as if they think their viewers are more intelligent and would appreciate quality programming. I binge- watched all the episodes, and paid for it by showing up sleepy-eyed to work the next day. What else can I say ? Watching this show will make you happier than you have ever been in your entire life !

This show is funny, silly, and everything goofy- and it's 95% Improv! YES!!! After speaking to one of the stars (John Lehr) who also writes on the show, he told us that a great majority of the show's lines are unscripted! How talented, then, is this great cast if most of it is just made up! I will watch and rewatch this show for years to come- and you do not have to watch the episodes in order to know what is going on. It's HULU Quickdraw weekend on The Ignorance Equation: Friday at 8pm eastern is Deputy Eli Brocias (Nick Brown), then Sunday at 1pm eastern is Sheriff John Henry Hoyle himself, (John Lehr).

This was an unexpectedly good show, it's too bad it only lasted a couple seasons, if it would've been produced today I'd bet it would've gone much longer. It's a western comedy, kind of along the lines of a Blazing Saddles, but it doesn't go that overboard and revolves more around the day to day lives of the townspeople. The sheriff (John Lehr) absolutely carries the shows and there are laugh out loud moments and situations throughout most episodes, mostly based around just how different the people and norms were back in that time. If you're looking for something new to watch and you're in the mood for a less than wholesome (not appropriate for children), unique style comedy, I'd give this one a chance for sure.

I found this on Hulu while just clicking around. While most of what Hulu produces is dark and depressing, this was laugh out loud hilarious. I was devastated to learn it was only two seasons total and completed perplexed as to why it was never promoted and cancelled so quickly. This was a series that could have really drawn a lot of people to Hulu and kept them coming back, if only they'd known it existed.

Hands down, one of the funniest comedies on TV. Watching Quickdraw is like watching a great improv show. The cast members do an excellent job playing off each other; the script is witty, the jokes can be subtle and smart or in-your-face slapstick and silly. The show knows its audience and eagerly plays with the boundaries of adult humor set for a show not on HBO. The show takes on what could be difficult political and social issues and makes them hilarious regardless of where you are on the political spectrum. What other show on TV can successfully pull off discussing the dilemma of 'crotch rot' and the issue of women's suffrage in the same episode? Race, sexual orientation, women's rights, religion and sexual liberation are common show topics and Quickdraw deals with them all beautifully. The show is a modern classic in the making and a new reason to look forward to Thursdays.

I have watched all of season one and most of season two of Quick Draw. All of the characters contribute a lot to the overall comedic effect of the show. Honey and Sheriff Hoyle lead the pack, of course in lovable hilarity. I find myself thinking of their scenes often throughout the week after watching the show. The humor is quite unique, I think. However, I especially appreciate the subtle humor that crops up. Specifically, I nearly rip a gut laughing when I remember a scene where, typically the town as a whole, has messed something up and the undertaker, Vernon, says to no one in particular, "Didn't think it through". This kind of understated comedy gets me every time. Thanks for helping my through my week, Quick Draw! NGM

I decided to watch "Quick Draw" after seeing the trailer on Hulu. The concept is hilarious: a frontier town has a new sheriff, but his only law-enforcement experience comes from his Harvard criminology degree. The show name-drops some well-known Wild West legends, and all the typical Western tropes reappear in a new, quirky guise.

Unfortunately, the show fails to live up to its potential. First, while the trailer focuses on smart, "Office"-esque lines, the actual show relies more on goofiness and innuendo. Still funny, but not quite what I was expecting.

Second, in a tightly-scripted comedy, every line has a job. Some lines provide big laughs while others are only mildly amusing, but EVERY line plays a role in advancing the plot and making people laugh. The same goes for well-done improvisation like "This is Spinal Tap." In contrast, "Quick Draw" has a lot of throwaway time when characters either pause or repeat the same joke while thinking of what to say next. The laughs are widely spaced. And, because the dialogue advances the plot so slowly, not all that much happens.

Finally, a lot of the action takes place at a bordello. It was funny in the first episode or two. After that, I realized that the show has NO female characters who aren't whores. It has no male characters who aren't johns. I know the whole bordello thing is done for laughs, but eight episodes' worth of sexist laughs is too much. Similarly, in S1E6,"Nicodemus," the show's only black female characters, in their only scenes, talk about nothing but sex. These women talk much more coarsely and explicitly than the (white) whores ever do. Sexist AND racist: Check.

To sum up, "Quick Draw" isn't a bad way to kill some time on slow afternoons. But I doubt I would watch these episodes a second time.

I am having withdrawal waiting for another season of quickdraw but,I loved hemlock grove and saw it cancelled. I've read the gripes about it which come off as arrogant and silly at best. Girls.griping it's sexist ,critics saying it's too silly I'm sick and tired of.seeing great shows start and stop over and over.if you don't like it then.don't watch it and stop messing it up for those of us who enjoy shows brave enough to be different.The woman are strong characters and if you pay attention you see they are in charge.the black republican ladies are fantastic and again strong female leads.every actor plays their roles to perfection and are a joy to watch It seems as if they enjoy what they're doing and I hope the nay Sayers don't have me losing another great show.

Yes it's set in the 1880s. Great costumes, decent sets but Generation X humor. Its condescending and sophomoric on a good day and just plain BAD on others. Of you're wanting a comedy and you "get" this humor then it probably is a 9 or so. But not for me. I was terribly disappointed. The one Upsode is at least it isn't gory, thank you for that!

This show is absolutely hilarious, old west humor at its best. The Sheriff his Deputy and all regular supporting roles are well played and seem to have a good time doing it. The sets are well constructed to give it that old west feel that you'd expect. I consider it to be like Blazing Saddles meets Gunsmoke with a Maverick twist. Too bad it was never shown on network TV it would have been a hit. My dad has been in law enforcement for over 25 years and he actually said he liked it and found it funny. He always liked westerns and comedies and this show is a perfect combination of the two. I sure wish that more seasons would be made.
