I have now watched two episodes hoping the second would be an improvement on the first, opening night jitters I thought. Never like to judge on one episode alone. Sadly, the second wasn't much better. It's stale and has little new to it. A show can get by with a reliable formula but this particular show has 3 terribly bad points. It's very boring, the writing seems clichéd and lazy and the acting. There is no chemistry between the actors and the actress who portrays Danielle is particularly bad. They ensemble cast look like they are acting, nothing is natural. I struggle to find how this show found it's way to TV. At no point did CBC stop and say "This is awful, we have to change this". If this is the best that was on offer I really worry for the future of Canadian TV writing. The good points. It's polished(Although i do prefer gritty) and there is a good core idea there. It's been executed very badly though. And i won't be giving it a third chance to find out if it improves.
