Readers,

I always see a pilot as a place to break new ground and suck in a new breed of viewer. This my TV lovers is not one of those shows and all the funky ass time lapse street driving shots are not ever going to make it one.

I just watched the first episode and have to say this show is as ordinary as it gets. Especially with what's out there nowadays. With in the first 5 pages we already know our Heros past and couldn't care less about it. I'm assuming, the flashbacks of the troubled characters past they will add in future episodes won't help kick start this snoozer either.

Is there really going to be a witless battle going on between our two newfound partners in every episode? And will it be as uncomfortably acted as this? Even the writers sprinkling in some sexual tension, followed by drunken one night stand will help get this beaver tail renewed.

Clichéd as it gets, it is average on every level, plot, characterization, dialogue, locations, music, featured talent, the list goes on.

Is Canadian Episodic Drama ever going to eclipse Degrassi or Catwalk?

With all the funding the government gives out you hope to think so.

Maybe in another twenty years, as thats how long as it's been.
