Diggstown

I've never been a fan of legal dramas because most are set in the States and feature horrific crimes that are often based on the same horrific crimes that occur in the States. I personally don't find that enjoyable. I thought I would give this show a try because we Canadians don't presently have a legal drama of our own that is set in Canada. Another reason I watched I watched is because of Vinessa Antoine, who is a great lead. I've watched her in supporting roles before (I LOVED Being Erica and when I'm off on Fridays I often check out what's up on General Hospital (the new Jordan was a poor casting choice and can't act, but I digress) and Vinessa is showing that she can lead a show. I'm glad I watched and will continue to do so. I've even learned some things about Nova Scotia that I didn't know! Only one thing would make the show better, a better production budget, because it looks like they've only spent a few thousand dollars more than the Canadian shows I used to watch when I was a little girl. But then again, this is on CBC, and I don't want my taxes to go up :)

Unfortunately it is lacking the chops to get there. EVERYTHING: photography, acting, writing, directing . . . everything is far too weak to get it there. This is a big solid NO.

I really enjoyed this show last season! I tuned into watch the premiere of season 2 and was not disappointed! It's refreshing to watch a show with so much multiculturalism and based in a Canadian city. Vanessa is a fabulous lead and the story lines are intriguing. I look forward to watching the rest of this season hope they do more than 6 episodes moving forward!

Saw the title and thought sweet they're gonna do a Diggstown boxing series. Nope just another run of the mill legal drama mulling over cases; law & order have already closed. New faces, same reactions. It's kinda like watching the Kardashians, it's fake as hell, but you already know the story

I've watched a lot of good legal dramas in my time and this is as enjoyable as most of them. I like the characters (one of the character's parents do some cabaret singing), the heart and the Canadian setting.
