yikes

Where did you watch the episode i have been looking all over. I don't live in canada but im a huge linda hamilton fan and want to watch jujst for her.

You know nothing .

I disagree with you who say it's appalling and guess you're missing the fine line between the drama and humor. While The Wire (overrated, as The Shield is the best police drama ever of its time)The Line can be seen as its slightly, lighter counterpart. I cracked up at the tough-taking drugs dealer, Carlos (Cle Bennett) who can verbally abuse girlfriends but can't stand up to a local vicious drugs dealer and is prone to accidents! Yes, it reads like a Police Squad send up in ways, but thanks to strong acting, it actually works. Plus, we have the gorgeous Sharon Lawrence still looking HOT after her NYPD Blue days and great support from Ron White & Daniel Kash as a mismatched pair of cops. In fact, the rest of the ensemble are just as good and I for one, am looking fwd to the next episode.

It's good to see that Canadian film & drama is trouncing on some of the tried-and-tested US stuff..Cavemen, anyone?

AS a canadian,
The US kicks our a$$ when it comes to any form of Action or Drama and especially crime shows. We make some of the worst TV on the planet, bad production values, god awful dialog. Talented Canadians (and their are many) move to the states, that why what gets produced here, is usually no better than a "C".

"You bled my Momma, You bled my Popa, Won't bleed ME!"

This show is dumbed down. The writing is extremely poor, and there's a lot of overacting. The characters are dumb.... literally. The acting is so bad they might as well just say how they feel instead of acting there ever emotion is so obvious.

As for The Wire vs. The Shield, you can't really compare because The Wire isn't just a cop show it's about the city as whole and issues it encounters. Whether that be bureaucracy, drugs, the political system, failure of the education system etc...
