Diggstown

This CBC drama is superb. I am have practiced law in Halifax, and their depiction of lawyers at Legal Aid, the "big" firm, and the law school are dead on. The treatment of the black and indigenous issues is nuanced and compelling. The actors are great, the characters are developed and Halifax, Dartmouth and Martinique Beach are shown to advantage. Having binged all 17 episodes on CBCGem recently, there wasn't one that was weak or contrived. Bravo Floyd Kane and the CBC!

While it starts slow by US standards it is not all blood and guts and infighting and that is refreshing I think it has promise and there is a lot to build on

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.

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!

Wow! I was startled to find how well done Season 2 Episode 2 turned out to be. The acting by everyone was terrific and the script was so well crafted. Last year I thought Diggstown was a pleasant but run-of-the-mill lawyer drama but this year has a lot more going for it.
