calgarywino This show is being rebroadcast on Bravo every morning at 8 am and I am hooked again ! I wish to dip my oar in the water and to reminisce, compliment and commiserate the show and the fact that it is gone, but, I guess all dogs have their day and time moves on. Shows like this that rely on intelligent scripts driven by characters that are superbly acted and seem like real people warts 'n all. This cast was a dream cast, not afraid to use facial expressions, make wrinkles, use vocal inflections and nuances to help me feel involved. In fact all of Da Vinci's characters and situations feel real and less like I am observing a specimen in a glass bottle or a thinly veneered facade. The scripts were captivating and made me yearn for the next episode and the threads that ran through the series episodes added to rather than detracted from this series. I am not a fan of jingoism but love the quality of shows like the Da Vinci's incarnations, Intelligence, Flashpoint and others that highlight the 'Canadian way'. We revel in the concept that force does not make right and may not be necessary nor best way to achieve things and that intellect versus thoughtless and impulsive action is the best course of 'action'. Our writers seem to be able to captivate, intrigue and respect the intelligence of viewers and aim UP to them, making us reach for and think about what we are watching. I hate having things handed to me on a platter and appreciate writers who treat me as an adult viewer, not as someone with a 14 year old mentality. Let's hope that sponsors and politicians will recognize and support the quality of the craftsmanship here before it slips away. Why must we wait for the recognition of other countries before we see the quality of our arts ? If I was allowed to say something to the Canadian script writers I would like to say "Good job, thank you" and "You have my attention, please write well so that you can keep it." and "If you do, I will not let you down either."

sandyneck The writing, videography, acting - this show is excellent. There are always several cases and situations that are on-going, along with the weekly crime-to-solve. They often make statements about how to deal with certain crimes that will never go away, like prostitution. They clearly use a lot of improv. The series is addicting but frustrating because it is only shown in the middle of the night. There has been such a void in quality television and there are so many reruns due to the writers strike, that I purchase the first two season of this show on DVD. But they haven't committed any others to DVD.HOW do we get the local cable companies to offer us this show at reasonable times!??

Deran_Ludd I am lucky enough to get the CBC out of Vancouver down here in Seattle. Da Vinci's Inquest had much better writing generally then we get in American TV dramas. It may be just me, but I love how mostly each episode drops in to a story, the story develops, and with each ep we get more and more character backstory and ongoing story. And then the ep ends with a suggestion (or several possibilities) of how that eps plot might wrap up, but with out our being burdened, like American TV, with the simple-minded requirement that with each ep everything has to be completely wrapped up. And the acting is top notch. And of course Vancouver is a tremendous location, and I am so glad to see it used as Vancouver, and not just a as a prop to pretend to be some US city.

Leland I do not think I've missed seeing more than a few episodes and the one's I've seen are, over all, very good to excellent. This is in casting, editing, directing, acting, character development et all! This was my introduction to Nicolas Campbell and I was very impressed with his work. I was delighted to catch Stuart Margolins performance as a disgruntled business partner who holds a body hostage, but was not surprised to see his other contributions to the series. He is a particular favorite of mine and his Evelyn 'Angel' Martin is my all-time memorable character. To this day I cannot think about his FBI Rat out of Rocky without rolling on the floor.I look forward to finally seeing the Davinci City Hall series on US television but I can't see a man who is so obviously hooked on spiritual currency lasting more than one term as Mayor.Leland
