As the summary notes I like this show because it excellent, Canadian, and shot in HD. Plus in Canada to find this original content on a digital channel is unheard of. Outerbridge was impressive as Detective Murdoch in "The Murdoch Mysteries" a holmeswellyan type broadcast on bravo. He performs equally here. The characters are well portrayed and are hard to put in to a box. They come across-ed as real not stiff or stereotypical. Some are definitely not hard on the eyes. Dmitry Chepovetsky is so believable as man social issues and a too huge IQ. The diverse ethnicity and backgrounds of the cast/characters adds interest and Canadian-ness to the show which I enjoy.

These genre of shows are starting to over saturate the networks. (science investigation, mystery, interesting locals) The closest comparison to be found on an American network would be "Medical Investigation". But as much as I enjoy Neal Mcdonugh the writing often stinks. I truly hope there is room time and money for mores seasons of this show.

Update: Season 2 is due in Spring of 2006. Yeah eh!

One of the reasons that I enjoyed the bourne identity (ident.) was because I expected little and was given so much. This time in the bourne supremacy (suprm.) the movie would have been better if were less. More to the point less camera movement and less action. The pacing of the of ident. was perfect. The down time worked well with the more intense sections. The suprm.'s constant camera movement and action had me wishing for the remote. Without giving away the plot, the lack of a certain element is what gave the ident. the perfect balance.

But thankfully it doesn't ruin the movie. The strengths of ident. are still there. The great locations, exposing you to varied exotic sites, the great cast and the well executed action sequences. Since the end of the cold war, there is have been a great lack of espionage international type thrillers. Let's hope their is a third movie in the bourne series. More like the original.

I enjoyed this. Nothing out of the ordinary. Great Casting. Sellect and Brimley are very enjoyable and believable. Great scenery. Nicely shot. This is a western. Black and white are the paint of choice. And after perusing the 24hr moviechannels line up I truly am amazed how many truly bad movies are made. This isn't one of them. Plus the added bonus was these actors left the "open range" pretty much the way the came in. Respectful and Gracious.
