Wild Roses

Wow. I must say I was blown away by what I found to be a really appealing cast. It's one thing to be good looking, but none of these characters brought the usual smugness that so often comes with the looks. It was so refreshing. The acting was really solid. And just when you think you've figured the story out, they throw you a good twist. I was really impressed. I mean, the story is simple enough, but they seem to have somehow warped the formula to make it more than the sum of its parts. It felt almost sincere. Especially for a Canadian drama. Could have fooled me. Better than most American ones, AND it looks great. So rare. Way to be CBC. It was my first episode but I'll be back. In fact I'll have to go backwards to see what I missed.

I may be addicted to this show. Its like a new Canadian 'Dallas' - a little more sex, better scenery (cause its in Calgary) and some really good actors. First and foremost - Gary Hudson - aka, JR, aka the patriarch of the McGregor family. He plays that character so well. I have seen him in a number of shows and never disappoints. Great facial expressions, lines delivered really well and he is going to be one of those characters that you love to hate - and hate to love.

Maggie is also a great character - as are her daughters. And the youngest is an up and comer for sure.

Looking forward to watching every Tuesday!

I just finished this series. It was well acted and very entertaining. I am so disappointed it ended without closure. After 2009 no one could agree on its continuance? Shame on the producers. If this was an act of greed as was pretty much the subject of the series, shame on you!

I just recently discovered this show. I binge watched the whole first season. With all the below par shows on TV recently I was unpleasantly surprised there was not more!

This was such a good show. I don't know why they didn't do a second season. Now it's sad to watch because nothing's wrapped up.
