Allegiance

The hero is perfect, instinctively comes to the right conclusion by guessing and always manages to get to the heart of the criminal to have them surrender. It would be okay if the supporting characters were there for any reason except to be a soundboard for her brilliant thinking (and minutely helping to connect the dots) or showcasing her superiority over her peers. There is a lot of talent that is not being used to full potential. All of the actors are good but the script is too predictable, the only character that is developing is the main character, and she is turning so cheesy perfect that she really is not likeable. I think they are using the same Artificial Intelligence script writing for Departure, another show that I initially thought would be interesting.

Enjoyed the first episode, it was engaging & interesting. The characters felt believable, the story line was something that felt plausible especially in this current climate. There's some veteran actors here who carry the story nicely, and for a Canadian show it felt like something more interesting that has some weight to it. I don't know much about Surry (sp?), but have watched many shows filmed around Vancouver, Canada and recognized some of the area. Hope the show can stay focused on the issues facing policing, and not get too bogged down by the personal lives which I also feel drags a show down. I also appreciated seeing more diverse stories in a cop show format - I'll definitely be tuning in to see what comes next.

Great police drama in a tv famine.

Canadian series with rookie police agent in her Surrey hometown.

Rookie good acting & captured my interest thru out.

Surprising find that engaged me completely from ep.1 thru the complete series.

Pretty much binged the series as so enjoyable.

Good acting & loved seeing my old Veronica Mars favourite ie. Enrico Colantoni in this series.

Terrific that each episode complete & engrossing.

Over arching theme re her father's own problem.

Hope to see Season 2 as a definite watch.

Recommend this series to others looking for well acted, produced police drama...

Immediate comparisons to the Hollywood show "The Rookie" which is a somewhat ridiculous show partly because the rookie is the lead in all things and the crime world somehow revolves around the rookie. The same thing occurs in this Canadian production. The rookie solves all crimes and seemingly needs no training at all. So, it's silly from that point of view. Exactly the same storyline's could have been used with a seasoned veteran and would have made more sense.

The upside is that it's well made and well acted so it is certainly watchable. It does look like it will rise above a certain bland level but it'll occupy you pleasantly for an hour or so.

I am from Canada, and normally programing for shows can be not so good. With this show it has it all, Drama, Crime, Gangs, Child theft, and much more. They touch on issues that show what has happened in Canada's past, showing crimes in perspective to wrongful doing. This show gives you great acting, great indepth story lines and Characters that have deep connections. I am proud to say that this is one of Canada's better shows. Well done to the full cast and crew making such artistry.

The show itself is quite indepth, a big story line with its twists and turns and weekly smaller story lines with all the drama that leaves you wanting more.
