Da Vinci's City Hall

Even better than Inquest. Can't take your eyes off the screen for a minute, there's so much going on.

Nov. 1 episode blew me away. When was the last time you saw four women police officers conducting a bust? That and cultural diversity makes this show for all people. Nobody is left out.

I, too, miss Donnelly Rhodes. What a great character actor. Maybe they could bring him back from time to time.

And what happened to DaVinci's secretary (when he was coroner)? I'd like to see her again.

This show proves once and for all that Canadians can do drama as well as or better than anyone else. The only other drama that comes close to this is The West Wing.

Congratulations to cast and crew.

I have been a DaVinci fan for years since the first episode in fact. But this new season opener just blew me away it has to be the best yet.

I have never, to my knowledge seen a show so full of biting socially relevant issues in a drama format before. This is not season 8 of DaVinci's Inquest, this is the beginning of a whole new form of Television Drama.

I liked the way that there was no long drawn out explanation of how Dominic DaVinci got to be The Mayor of Vancouver, And that he was thrown to the LIONS on his first day in office without even having unpacked his stuff. I have lived in and around Vancouver for 25 years and have seen some of the Social and economic hardship that exists there.

My hat is off to all Cast and Crew and Production team you have outdone yourself once again.

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!

This is my favorite show period not just ON Canadian Broadcasting. I have long been a Nicholas Campbell fan. Remember Diamonds? I thought the change from coroner to mayor was a great idea and the first episode did not disappoint. I could feel the great story lines waiting in the wings! My only problem: no Donnelly Rhodes! I am really going to miss him, and hope he returns, after all. Ian Tracey was really good as a cop, I hope he has some good things going on as the new coroner. So far, it seemed like he mostly agreed with people. I didn't like that! I recommend this show to everyone who is tired of the American conveyor belt of TV shows... it's like I can't believe the WB canceled Just Legal, the new Don Johnson show!! It was just too fresh for American viewers, I guess, TOO BAD for us.

There is a soundtrack for this show. I took me a long time to find it but it was worth the wait. Its caiman.com. Actually they say to contact them, it is info@caiman.com.The name of it is DiVinci's Inquest: The Sessions CD (Soundtrack). I have had it almost a year and still listen to it several times a week. If you love the show you'll love the CD. I still watch the show every day and never fail to see something new each time. You will recognize the music as you watch the show and of course both the beginning and the ending are there. You will be pleasantly surprised at how great it is. The soundtrack I believe won the Gemini one year also. The cover has pictures of all the musicians,and Chris Haddock and of course, NICK. FYI janelouadams@aol.com
