Da Vinci's City Hall

My husband and I were so sad to see Da Vinci's City Hall go!!! We have been huge fans since Da Vinci's Inquest! Nicholas Campbell has been excellent in both roles. He really made the Da Vinci Character believable. It was so wonderful having the two series filmed in Vancouver that were actually set in Vancouver!!! It use to be so neat to see all the different places that they would use to film around the city. We hope to see either a made for TV movie or mini-series to properly conclude Da Vinci's City Hall. It was just left hanging in the air. Chris Haddock brought two brilliant series to CBC. We wish all the actors, writers and film crew the best!!!

I was a fan of both Da Vinci's Inquest and if anything this incarnation was even more intense and captivating than the first Da Vinci series. If you want to know how people wheel and deal and want to see how politics really must work, this show really delivered the goods.

In politics and in business (really the same thing) as many personal agendas as well as corporate and social interests as possible must be served and this show was all about that. I loved watching the trading of favours and compromises that occurred in order 'make the deals and move ahead' and both wanted and had to watch carefully in order not to miss the intrigue.

It was a thinking person's show and for those who wanted cerebral versus physical action this was the best show since The Sandbaggers. Perhaps Da Vinci's City Hall was too intellectual to survive the test of ratings alone and needed time to collect the requisite viewers before cancellation but I hope that viewers will find a way to watch and appreciate the 'dance' that it portrayed so well.

Well Mr. Haddock, what's next ?

It seems they took everything great about Da Vinci's Inquest and really downplayed it and they took everything boring about it and they made this show all about it. It's not a bad show but it doesn't hold a candle to Inquest.

Being American, the first thing that jumps out at you is the different accents, cadence, expressions of the characters. The show is based in Vancouver and you really get a feel for a distinct area (never been to Vancouver or even close so don't know if its authentic, just unique).

The show is extremely fast paced with a large number of plot lines that move slowly throughout the show. Its really the kind of program you need to follow, now that its in syndication on WGN I've taped it daily so that's easier to do. The characters are very well developed and the plot lines intricate.

Show also has a nice soundtrack and is very well produced. Recommend it highly!

DaVinci's City Hall is a great show, there is just one huge problem - I could enjoy it much more if I could see what is going on . Why oh Why is it so dark. Each week I wait for some light to come on, but it never happens. We even got a big new 44 inch TV, it helps some , but I am still in the dark. The show is my favorite, the plot has me following and interested and looking forward to it every week. Perhaps it would be better as a radio show. Thanks for listening to my rant. I hate to make an unfavorable comment about a great Canadian show, but there it is. I wonder if there will be another season, and hope there will be.I have come to know all the actors in their parts , and look forward to seeing the development of the story lines and the characters .
