Cardinal (2017–2020)
10/10
We have a serial killer amongst us...a repeater as John Cardinal would say
26 January 2017
We have a serial killer loose who is killing young girls and boys in various ways so the serial killer's method of operation is still not clear. Lead detective John Cardinal (Billy Campbell) believes this serial killer stalks his victims and when the opportunity presents itself the killer strikes. Not much else is known about the serial killer mainly because the only one who believes there is a repeater (serial killer) loose is detective Cardinal. He is like a dog with a bone who will not let go that a serial killer is loose in their northern township somewhere in the Canadian province of Ontario.

Detective Cardinal seems to prefer to work alone but when his superior Noelle Dyson (Kristen Thomson) assigns a recent new hire to the precinct, a young female detective Lisa Delorme (Karine Vanasse), Cardinal makes it clear to her that he does not need a lap dog, and diverts her attention to another case he was working which was trying to catch a thief who breaks into peoples homes after the homeowners had just purchased a high end priced electronic such as a microwave oven or a flat screen television.

This 6 episode mini-series is dark, moody with a cast that shines. Lead actor Billy Campbell is a perfect fit to play detective John Cardinal on the hunt for what he calls a repeater, and what we normally refer to as a serial killer. My only complaint is that the six (6) 60 minute episodes should have been extended to three (3) 120 minutes so we wouldn't have to wait six weeks to see how the series ends. So far it has been great!
