stevie-25606 I really enjoyed and was totally scared by this show. I've no doubt why it got cancelled. Same reason they cancelled the "Intelligence" tv show years ago. The 'powers' that really run the world were more scared than I was. Gosh only knows what and who the show would have targeted in Canada to expose in subsequent seasons. To everyone who did the show - big congrats on terrific show, 10 stars well done.
jpb-67861 I stuck it out but this series was poorly written, acted, and delivered. I'm not surprised it wasn't renewed.
maureenludford A nice body of Canadian Drama! Keeps you wanting more... I had the pleasure to work on the project and the dedication of cast and crew was exemplary. Jennifer, Sudz and their team worked very hard to create a body of work to be proud of, glad CBC picked it up. Look forward to second season.
sutda Shoot The Messager, out of what I have seen so far, is a phenomenal show! I have seen the first who episodes, but I eagerly await the rest. Here is a summary. A young journalist is going to meet someone in a park, she witnesses a fatal shooting at that park. She decides to write a story about it but she somehow messes it up. She prints the story but has to correct her mistake, her boss gets really angry at her. No matter how she tries she can't let go of her story, and suddenly, he life is all a mess. She works with Somalian community, she is in a conflict on interest because her boyfriend is the head of detective on the case that she want to know more about.
