19-2

I really didn't like this show at first. My first bad impression was "Montreal Police that speak English, with most cops having zero French accent... lame"

Well, everything else about this show out-weighed that obvious flaw.

I'm not a fan of slow paced films, but this one did it very well. The sound was on point with the tension, directing and cinematography perfect, and the acting spot on!

What's even more intriguing, how Jared Keeso has evolved from a serious playing cop to his character in Letterkenny... wow.

Props to all those involved for yet another top-notch Canadian production! 9/10 from me

I've never seen the original french series, so I can't speak to how it compares to that, but I can say that it holds up on it's own as a great drama series.

The show is not action based in the way that you might expect from a show about a police squad. Sure there is a fair amount of action, fights and gun play, but that's not where the shows strength is. Instead the show is about the characters and the drama between them. This is not typical episodic TV where the characters face a new challenge at the beginning of every episode, and then resolve it by the end of the episode so everything is back to being the same. In 19-2 the storyline stretches across multiple episodes. If you start watching the series he middle of the season it will take you a few episodes to get up to speed, probably a good idea to watch the earlier episodes online first.

The cast of 19-2 is fantastic and the story unfolds more like a feature film than TV.

if you're looking for a shoot 'em up action show then there are other shows you might like better, but I can easily recommend 19-2 to anyone looking for a deeper drama series.

OK I have read the other reviews and agree that this show can be depressing. I'm not even sure why I started to watch this but I then discovered each of the characters had their own crosses to bear, whether self-inflicted or through a series of circumstances and events, they all fight the daily fight of life, and the fight to stay alive in their jobs, stay faithful to friends and just do the right thing. The storyline makes this really hard and that's what makes this show so compelling. The actors are good, the script more realistic than most other police shows because people in real life have personal problems and jobs to cope with at the same time. I know this is set in Monteal and was a show in french first but my french is so rusty I would have given up after a few minutes, so, thank you for letting us poor English speakers into the world of 19-2.

It's refreshing to finally see an English language show that's filmed in Montreal actually be based in Montreal storyline wise. This show steers clear of the stereotypical cop characters and shows us many shades of grey rather than the standard black and white we too often see. I love the cold blueness of the shots.

Seems like this might be shot with no filters and I love that look. Looking forward to seeing how the show plays out. It almost feels like we're getting a behind the scenes glimpse into the day to day lives of police officers. The show seems to be staying true to The French version and that's a good thing since I also really have liked that show too. Good stuff!

This show seriously deserves the great reviews, a brilliant show with incredible actors who give outstanding performances all through the series. This show surprised me on a grand scale, with impeccable story lines and even better executed characters. The character development throughout the show keeps you second guessing everything you are ever told about the shows' protagonists and have you yearning for more. The portrayal of street life is what I imagine it to be like in the real world. 19-2 has amazing twists and turns, it shows that even the black and white cases have some grey areas. The cinematography within the episodes themselves is beautiful and seriously warrants recognition. Each and every episode tackles a fresh angle and perspective on a story which is both realistic and completely fictional, through the balance is not perfect, it does come close.
