Pretty Hard Cases

I can't understand the level of vitriol targeting this show - I mean, it's a pleasant little Canadian cop show, people need to relax a little. I also wasn't too impressed after the first episode but wow, the show has grown by leaps and bounds since then and I now look forward to it each week. Yes, of course the American actress is the best actor on the show, but what would you expect? Everyone else puts in a good effort and I think after this rookie season the show will be as good as any other cop show on TV, in fact, much, much better than the usual US fare. If people don't like it, they don't need to tune in, but I'm enjoying it immensely.

The two leads are complex, vastly different styles and it's been fun to see them clash. And both are great at holding their own rhythms and are written and played with truth. They feel like real humans. The supporting all have hints of depth and I'll be interested to see where they take this cast. The stakes got good and high in Ep. 4 so that has me bought in. It always takes a series most of first season to lay a foundation and then writers can play with all the connections. Hopefully they go for surprising and not by the book for this sort of cop show.

I'm really liking this show. It's pretty smart. Well cast. Entertaining and different. Comparing it to Law & Order SVU the 2 main characters remind me of Iced Tea and Munch - arguably, 2 of the most interesting characters on SVU. The women talk to each other like real people and both define and defend their quirkiness without coming across as fake. I'll be marathoning it.

Love the chemistry between the 2 leads, Meredith MacNeill and Adrienne C. Moore. The former's wackiness and the latter's coolness make for truly hilarious, laugh out loud moments. The show is very well cast, well-acted and very entertaining. Kudos to the writers, keep up the good work!

I've watched all of Season 1 now and have really enjoyed it. There aren't a lot of shows I watch anymore on network tv, but I have really looked forward to watching this each week. The leads are fantastic and the support characters are all great. Love seeing the Toronto backdrops as well. I'm hopeful it will return for a second season!
