Jay Woodland *** This review may contain spoilers ***A Foot in Mouth: Brutally Honest Review.***Contains Spoilers***When I first discovered this show I genuinely thought, this is a TVS show about an ambulance driver who is a telepath who help the police solve crimes and murders, what were the writers smoking? But I was interested because it sounded so strange, no more odd, no more surreal, no err more orange, sorry.I was right to like this show because it was fantastic. Toby our protagonist is a very likable character, he is very well portrayed along with his best mate Oz. These two characters are the heart and soul of the series. As the show develops and grows their relationship shines through. The concept of the show is interesting and opens up a world of possibilities. Sadly the show was cancelled after season 5, but I encourage you to see it as it is brilliant with some very interesting story lines and some excellent character growth. I really enjoyed this program and would love it if they brought it back. The chemistry between the characters and the performances are very well executed along with some beautifully funny moments along with some dark and sinister plots the balance is handled very well.

Ben Kyven I started to watch this show recently. To tell the truth, I didn't expect much. Initially I thought this is just another streamlined crime solving series by the super being, but it didn't turn out that way. Instead I see someone exploring on an unique venture, with gift and 'real' life troubles. That interested me like reading a biographical novel. I kinda really like it. But the pace is really slow, I didn't hook up until episode 3.Actually, later these homicide cases becomes a burden to me. I can't help wondering, why this PARAMEDIC only help victims of crimes. Why he must go to the police station for help in each and every episode.Despite the stuffed crime scene, and the death of his cop friend, I think season 1 ends well. Then comes the season 2 which is a full-blown under-the-cover different series. The figure is gradually shedding off his identity as a paramedic. The show is morphing into another per episode crime solving series. Maybe its the way I appreciated this series had changed. The loopholes suddenly become glaring. I still remember the way the new actress's cat-walking in the passage of a hotel followed by his sneaky assistant in S2E1. Call me lack of humor. Though S1's plots have flows, anyway, Charles still acts like a cop. and this new cat-walking detective is so unbearably fake. Sadly you have to bear with her, while watching through the second season. Her and her sneaky tech savvy assistant steal more exposure from Toby. And Toby is being detached from his paramedic life. His paramedic setting seems artificially stuffed in there. And the interaction with his friends from season 1 is nearly set to be redundant.I haven't watch Season 3. I hope this show didn't morph into an CSI copycat work. If Toby lost his paramedic setting, and becomes the police's exclusive mind reading machine. I kinda lost his show. Screw it!

darcikroes They are trying to make her look goth or something like that this season and have given her "helmet hair" (damaged with extensions) that is very unbecoming on this actress and definitely does not fit the character she is trying to portray. They have worked hard to develop this show and would like to see it succeed, but it seems they need stylists that are up-to-date with current styles or at least what looks good. Anyway, just my two bits. ---- -------- ------------- ------ ------- -------- ------ -------- -------- -------- -------- ------- ----- --- ------ -------- ------- ----- ----- ----- ------ ------ ------ ----- ---- --- ----- -- -- ------ ---- ----- --- ---------- ----- ------ ----- ----- ---- -------.

calgarywino So far I have only seen 3-4 episodes but it is different from many main stream shows and seems to have good characterizations and decent writing. The acting is fine and the people seem real, not too pretty, slick or glib. I prefer seeing people who look real and not like models; it is much more believable when there are wrinkles, flaws and wear and tear on the faces. Canadian and British casting seems to be very good for that. The world and time worn Gordon Pinsent is on one episode, he is an underrated and not well enough known actor who adds so much to everything he does. Doubtless his choice to stay in Canada was to his careers' detriment. I hope I am wrong but it looks like this show was not renewed, typical for many very good shows here in Canada, unfortunately. We suffer from a national inferiority complex which means until things are recognized outside our borders we don't really feel like it is "good enough" to merit our support. If the show was renewed I would love to know.
