I liked this movie. I enjoyed seeing some of the original cast members continue the story of the original film. A simple, if somewhat Dickensian story line, with a made in Canada feel. I think some part of me hoped for the look and feel of the original, i.e. low budget, grainy, gritty story. But probably not realistic to assume the director would try to capture the feel of the original, technology has changed too much. Loved seeing the same actors gather to finish the story they started so many years ago--though the time-lines seem a bit off if the original was 40-odd years ago wouldn't the "young" actors be playing people in their 40s?

We Canadians need to tell ourselves our stories. This is a good one and worth seeing with the original. More Don Shebib please, more of his DVD's, more main stream Canadian cinema.

Funny to read all the other reviews and see that I was not alone in loving this show. I would have only been about 12 years old, but it made an impression on me. Simply put: it just wasn't anything like other shows. The violence was low key, the acting was sublime. The "cowboy" hero road on an old motorcycle. The lead man was shot out of know where on the last episode. I mourned the end of this show. It was an early "alternative" show, almost like a European film. I've been thinking of this show for years but finally got around to checking up on it. Thanks to all those others who shared their love of this show.

Wonder if somewhere there are copies?
