emmetlang-42622 How did Canadians put up with this for 6 years? Holy Crap! Is there any cliché that isn't used in this first episode? Every character is a cliché, every situation is a cliché, every relationship is a cliché, and every line of dialog is horribly clichéd. Ugh! If this were made in the '70s, you might say it was original, or at least a light hearted ripoff of the PI shows of the day. But this is absolute warmed over drivel.

fogliad I love this show, being a mainlander it is rich in NFLD culture just like when I visited.Allan developed a great Canadian series. it is right up to par with American TV series but set in lovely St. John's, NFLD.Allan came up with great shows each and every week for all the seasons. A great cast with interesting guest stars. We also loved the convergence with Murdoch mysteries.Even my children loved to see the episodes after school. We are all very sad to see it go and still watch the re-runs on CBC.There is little from the great east coast that runs on regular episodes but this was the best.The theme song by great big sea is just the cherry on top of the east coast sundae.

Bert B. I really wanted to like this series so I tried watching it again and again and again and again. And again, but it just is not good enough. I do not like the actor who plays the lead, his face has no expressions. The acting is not good in general.The stories are messy. This may be caused by the very bad editing, incomplete shots and very bad stunts. Furthermore this series is supposed to be funny, well I never laughed.Not in series 1. Not in 2 nor in 3.What's good about this is is the scenery,.I will not watch this again. Ever.

temerrity One of the greatest shows ever to come out of Canada. We'd rate it right up there with "Seeing Things".Fun and fast moving. Only "Psych" rates higher on our must-watch list. Unfortunately, the programs will be shown at the exact same time starting on January 8, 2014. Thank God for DVD recordings and "on demand" from cable-TV. We can't understand why one of the U.S.A. networks hasn't picked up this series.The cast is well chosen, and the characters they portray are down-right "classic". Because CBC started re-running the show at 1:00 pm daily, we've seen every episode. And there is hardly a week one in the bunch.
