- TriviaIn 2017, when Netflix bought this show, John Doyle, Canada's "The Globe and Mail" newspaper television critic, commented regarding the cancellation: "At the time the show was cancelled by CBC, there was a widespread belief that the theme of political corruption was what got the show killed. In those Harper-era days, the series was in dangerous territory for a beleaguered CBC. The fact that it was superb TV, widely praised, was less important than fear of government criticism."

Featured review
why only two seasons?
Intelligence was an excellent series starring Ian Tracey, Klea Scott, John Cassini, and Matt Frewer. The series was created by Chris Haddock, who was responsible for DaVinci's Inquest, DaVinci's City Hall, Boardwalk Empire, etc.
Jimmy Reardon (Tracey) and Mary Spalding (Scott) are the heads of their groups - Jimmy heads up an organized crime business, and Mary the Organized Crime Unit in Canada.
The series deals with the work of both sides and the shades of gray in between, as Mary recruits informants and undercover workers and Jimmy makes various money laundering deals, gets into different sidelines, and seeks revenge against his enemies. In fact, at one point, Jimmy himself becomes one of Mary's informants. He also has an interesting private life - a daughter he adores, an ex-wife who is obsessed with reconciling with him and knows too much, and brothers who depend on him to keep the businesses going.
Very absorbing show with good performances. It was such a disappointment to see it end after two seasons. Ian Tracey is wonderful, as is Scott. And after a time, it's hard to tell who is good and who is bad, as different people, such as the Frewer character, seem to have their own agendas.
I caught this on Netflix streaming, and I highly recommend it.
