Reading the numerous pretentious quasi-critics among these reviews is more sad than funny. I like Canadian-style writing, particularly in their crime dramas, but I don't confuse them with the US/Hollywood spawn. Canada isn't the US, regardless of what that might or may not mean to the shallow US market, US-Canada are different societies, actually, as another form of diversity. As British drama varies from its US counterpart, Canada has its own style, and different isn't really a basis for better or worse, actually. Some of the best drama streaming on the internet is Canadian...with less chaff among the wheat than the US TV/movie market. It's often more entertaining with less neurosis than British or US counterparts. "The Murders" is quite good within its boundaries. Vancouver, BC, isn't Toronto, or Los Angeles, or New Orleans, which is not a good or bad thing...it's Vancouver and that works for this crime drama.
