    Truly Incredible!

    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!!

    Shoot the Messenger

    A nice body of Canadian Drama! Keeps you wanting more... I had the pleasure to work on the project and the dedication of cast and crew was exemplary. Jennifer, Sudz and their team worked very hard to create a body of work to be proud of, glad CBC picked it up. Look forward to second season.

    Incredible show!

    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!

    Uh, no...

    I stuck it out but this series was poorly written, acted, and delivered. I'm not surprised it wasn't renewed.

    bland start

    I'm surprised that the few user reviews here are either wild raves or, in a couple of cases, hostile slams. I watched the first episode and I just didn't care much about it one way or the other. It's not bad, just a bit generic.
