Under Arrest

Get ready for massive mullets, Denim Garys (You know, cause they're Canadian, eh?), bar brawls over being called a "goof" (...yes, really), and lots and LOTS of knives (mostly steak). Have some beers, enjoy some whacky tobaccy, and get ready to piss yourselves. I recommend watching it in a mixed season manner. Start with season one, jump to eight, back to two, up to seven, and so on and so forth because there is one officer in particular that is sort of tall, lanky, and nerdy (you'll know exactly who I'm talking about) who starts out in season one mustacheless and full of hope, excitement, and eagerness and by the eighth season he is fully mustachioed and understands that this is going absolutely nowhere and has just about given up on humanity - Absolutely priceless. A MUST WATCH.

I fully enjoyed watching this TV-show, as I love seeing some of the things the police deal with in the cities around me, I like seeing how the police deal with some of the under pressure moments and some of the random moments that occur while they are on duty. If you enjoyed the American based TV-Show 'Cops' then you will also enjoy this, as it was made in a similar editing and recording style. If the producers plan on making another season please do so, because I will watch and enjoy every moment. The only thing I suggest they change for the next season or episodes is add in what city and police department they were filming with, it would save some of my focus on the curiosity.

Awesome show that really gives you an idea of what police have to deal with on a regular basis. It will give you an new respect for the type of garbage they have to deal with day in and day out. People commenting excessive force, well as a non liberal crybaby I can only say, these losers probably should stop resisting arrest. These Canadian police are absolutely top notch!

Under Arrest is a spectacular reality cop show. The cameras really showcase an in-depth look into the street side of things in 90s western Canada during the crack and heroin epidemics. Some scenes get a little too crazy and they don't censor too much; for instance, a woman hung herself in a Vancouver motel room and the camera actually showed the body hanging. It's not for the weak stomached, sensitive or easily offended so take that into consideration before you watch. This show is raw! You'll get a few fun scenes such as the police closing bars in Surrey full of rowdy drunk people just having a good time screaming "hi mom!" into the camera, or the police doing street checks at 3am and dealing with a drunken funny guy. But not long into the show you may connect with the police officers you relate to the most, or even whomever they're interacting with, because they could be your neighbours. This show debuted 25 years ago, I was far too young back then to be downing pints at the Dell Hotel on King George Blvd like in the show, but every one of those faces you see has a story and I wonder where they're all right now. All I have left to say is when will Netflix release the next few seasons?

Is everyone in Canada completely hammered? Nothing but drunks getting locked up.
