Da Vinci's Inquest is the finest crime drama on television, where there is an abundance of crime dramas. If you enjoy shows like "Law and Order" and "NYPD Blue" it will not take you long to become hooked on this one. The only negative thing to say about "Da Vinci" is this: Once you get hooked on it, every other crime drama will seem inferior.
Nicholas Campbell plays the title character Dominic Da Vinci, a Vancouver Coroner, and the series revolves around him and the cases he has to deal with. The premise is very simple, but the show has so much to offer.
Every episode is interesting, and real. It deals with important issues such as prostitution and drug abuse, and the writers don't hold anything back. All the characters are interesting and likable, and the actors who play these characters do an outstanding job - especially Nicholas Campbell. Campbell is brilliant as Da Vinci. The Dominic Da Vinci character can be a real jerk at times, yet he is very likable, probably more than any other character.
I have recently noticed that this show is starting to play in other countries and I do believe that it will do well outside of Canada. The stories are universal; drugs and prostitution are problems within just about every country. Aside from the fact that show makes reference to Canadian cities (they always mention a lot of towns/cities in British Columbia, and places like Calgary, Toronto, Montreal and Regina) viewers in other countries don't necessarily need to know that the show is Canadian because they can relate the story lines to issues present in their own country.
Truly, a superior crime drama.
