To be the first to write a review at this late date.

Not a cop show to redefine the genre but better than most that pass for a cop show these days.

No unique powers. No personal quirks.

Just intelligent,observant and experienced people going about their job.

Relief to see a female character that doesn't go from being a winner in her professional life to a whiner in her personal life.

This TV idea of women who spend all their free time obsessing about men is not very realistic and decidedly unattractive.

They cast the lead right. Amy Price-Francis plays a strong woman who shows a certain levelheadedness, both on and off the job.

The rest of the cast is uneven. With some better than others.

The cases are middling as are the personal trials and tribulations.

Nothing groundbreaking here.

Unspectacular but not unwatchable.

They got a second season so clearly enough people agreed.

Wish them well.

Thank you.

Second season. Amy shines on. Cases are still middling. Support is still spotty.

Canadian politeness is a standing joke but these muted, polite screams are embarrassing. Woman with dog, woman at card game etc all shrieking with such admirable restraint. Needs better casting.

-----

Cancelled.
