So..
..What did everyone think? I enjoyed it, and hopefully it will stick around. I hope the CBC won't pull the plug too soon.
Nobody dared touched Danny, he was the son of a Liberal Senator, and therefore immune
I'm just half way through watching it but it seems OK. Pretty well done.

Just finished watching it. Good start; better than most pilot episodes. Good snap to the script and the characters. The editing seems a bit choppy in the first half. Maybe I need a larger TV to appreciate the pacing. :) Didn't buy the bearded drug runner. Performance was lacking. Ditto the female constable. Her character needs more of an edge or better definition on some level. Maybe that's forthcoming in the series.
Still gave it an 8 though. I'm sure that it'll only get better
BTW, definite thumbs up for Sean Majumder's performance. Odd (but good) to see him in something that doesn't involve laughs.
Very patchy. Loved the St. John's locale, but the production values seemed really cheap. There is little chemistry between any of the leads, especially between Doyle father and son. The dialogue was really awkward, and the acting was pretty bad at times. Hope to more of Shaun Majumder, though.
All in all quite disappointing after the big buildup.
OK, I'll take back what I said in my previous post about the Constable Leslie Bennett character. Just finished watching the second episode and Krystin Pellerin performance puts the lie to what I said previously based on the pilot episode.
Again the script has a lot of snap to it and is thoroughly entertaining. Best waste of time on the box (and I mean that in the nicest way possible). :D
OK. What I said initially? Please feel free to forget it in its entirety. Shot from the lip, I did. Just finished watching episode 3 and her character just keeps developing.
And I reiterate what I said in my previous post about the show being the best waste of time on the box.
