Seule contre tous

Pleasantly surprised by this one and can't wait for the fourth season.

The plot with the sick girls is only the first season. The main characters, location, and much of the supporting cast doesn't change though as the lawyers continue to tackle emotionally and legally challenging cases. I wasn't sure I would like it even after the first episode but I've grown to love watching these characters fight for justice in this unjust world. They're interesting and real. The acting is great. I can barely look away from the screen.

But one of my favorite things is the season finales. There's no big cliffhangers or a bucket full of unanswered questions. It wraps everything up. There's always room to continue the story and stay interested in the next season but you don't have to wait a year to finish the main storylines. And, if it doesn't get another season, the end of the previous one feels like a good end to the story. It's satisfying and much less frustrating than most. They did a wonderful job.

It would have been nice if there were more episodes in a season though. I feel like they could have explored more of the side characters if they'd had more time to do so, especially in the first season. Instead, there's a lot of important characters to the cases that barely get five minutes of screen time.

The second season started slow and took a while to get to the point but the third season was better. There's some writing issues and some lose ends that just don't seem to have time to get tied up. But, overall, it's one of my new favorite shows and I will be eagerly awaiting season 4.

Okay, I am a HUGE KK fan. I have watched all her stuff and that is why I had to check out Burden Of Truth. When I read the description and heard the creators comparing it to Erin Brockovich, I was super pumped to see this because I loved that movie.

Season 1 is not a high octane thrill ride. It's more of a stroll down the parkway with some mysteries along the way. It takes it's time, BUT, give the material, I think it was quite appropriate in doing so.

There are some odd story lines that weren't needed or weren't properly inserted into the show, but it still delivered entertainment wise.

As the lead, Kristin holds her own, and Peter Mooney is a fantastic co-star! The two play wonderfully off each other. Supporting cast rounds out the body of the show quite nicely.

Would I recommend Burden? ....I sure would! Some writing issues, but overall, the story was interesting, acting was on point and the cinematography was absolutely wonderful!

I am very excited for Season 2!

This is a legal show with a personal touch with difficult themes such as betrayal, loss and abuse but not presented in too heavy a way.

I find the over emotive behaviour that occasionally arise irritating but otherwise an easy to connect with and very watchable series.

This is what more Canadian TV should be like! The story is well delivered by the strong cast. The locations are beautiful - it's nice to see a show that actually had real scenes outside rather than always in a studio. I can't wait for more!

For being filmed in small town Manitoba and using many locals for numerous roles; it is surprisingly well done.

Great story and even touches on some taboo topics to do with white vs indigenous history in Canadian Prairies
