Shoot the Messenger

Bad writing. Bad theme. Bad acting. Bad show period.

Across the board every facet of this show is top notch the writing, casting, acting, directing, production! This show is certainly relevant with all of the political scandals of recent years. As many high-profile politicians have been known to be caught up in corruption scandals. Also, just an overall big fan of Lyriq Bent, he was fantastic in this!

This is story is the quintessential thriller but rather than your typical Bourne Identify male lead, the main focal point is a female protagonist who is a flawed but truly compelling character. As a the main character, Daisy is driven and ambitious but you root for her success ( and safety) as she navigates a world that is seedy and interesting. The pace of each episode moves at a good clip, keeping you on the edge of your seats and I love how each episode ends with a cliff hanger that keeps you wanting more. I appreciate the rich tapestry of life that the series highlights as you get a glimpse into the variety of communities that you can find in major metropolis, from the high roller basketball players to the low key family home of people of faith. What I really enjoy about this series so far it's that it's a complex thriller where I haven't figured out exactly who are the bad guys (killers) and who are the heroes...so far, it's not a transparent plot and as such it deserves a kudos. In short If you Iove a good story, dynamic characters and a top notch mystery series then you too will enjoy this really great drama.

Finally, a Canadian drama that's actually good! My wife and I have been looking for a binge-worthy series to watch during the holidays and STM was the perfect Christmas treat. Every episode had us wanting to watch the next one right after, but we had to try and space it out. For some reason there are only 8 episodes?? We highly recommend don't know how I missed it when it aired but thank god for iTunes!!

Stumbled upon this show by accident, I was looking up a good crime podcast on iTunes and this came up and I decided to download it. Got around to watching it on plane ride back from Chicago, the guy seated next to me kept looking over to watch too lol. I ended up telling him the show name, he was surprised it was a Canadian!
