Saint-Pierre

This show has me scratching my head, and partly at my own response to it. There's definitely something (or a few things) not quite right, but I'm not sure if it's the occasionally disastrous acting or actors (the actor who plays Arch's boss Marcus is abysmal, with one and only one facial expression in his toolbox), their inability to rise above sometimes mediocre and/or clichéd scripts, or simply bad direction. So I don't want to blame it all on the writers or actors, because direction has got to have something to do with it. And yet despite all that, I watch the show religiously every week and continue to be entertained by it. Maybe it's the earnestness of the leads, IDK, but I still enjoy it and I hope they can work out the problems for a better S2.

This show has me hooked and there have only been 4 episodes so far. The plotline of a cop/detective entering a new working environment and working with new people is something that I always enjoy watching.

In this series the two lead characters are very likeable and interesting as they both have background stories that we want to see. The stories of each episode are also very interesting and you never get bored.

I would love to see many more episodes of this show as the characters have a lot of chemistry and there is also a very fine balance of drama, action and comedy that makes it so fun to watch.

This is worth watching. The setting is great and Arch and Fitz are good characters that seem well anchored and with room to grow. The mysteries are on the cozy side, but without the main characters being ridiculous/camp, though there is a sense that things are going to get more serious.

I like that Arch is smart/capable - she holds her own and isn't dressed ridiculously. Fitz is a bit of a curious mix - in exile and aware of past decisions that were bad or questionable. He has an air of regret, but also an unwavering belief in his own instincts.

We are slowly getting to know more about the characters and I find myself wanting to know more about them. Looking forward to the rest of the season.

I like Allan Hawco and Josephine Jobert.

I like the back drop of St Pierre.

I like the bilingualism.

I want to like this show but until episode 6 it is one cliche after another.

But it really redeems itself in Episode 6! There may be hope for this show!

Up until episode 6 I thought this:

This is wIf you are a fan of cozy mysteries you will recognize every single plot of every single episode at the beginning of the show. Even the side stories are cliches. It is only the music that creates suspense.

Surely between France and Canada some writers with some creativity could be located...

Maybe send these two detectives out to comb these two countries and find a creative team capable of coming up with a plot worthy of the actors and the location.

I see that the current rating is 8.1 which this TV show does not deserve, not by a long shot. There is nothing new here, a bunch of stereotypical writing, I kept hoping that my prime suspect from episode 1 is not going to be the one who actually did it but of course it was and when that happens, I kind of tend to lose any interest in any new episodes. It's not fun guessing 15 minutes in who did it, is it? I also had a feeling of watching Death in Paradise but then I realized that the female lead was in it (quite frankly didn't recognize her). I am not going to continue watching, but kudos to everybody who is, just not worth my time.
