Allegiance

The hero is perfect, instinctively comes to the right conclusion by guessing and always manages to get to the heart of the criminal to have them surrender. It would be okay if the supporting characters were there for any reason except to be a soundboard for her brilliant thinking (and minutely helping to connect the dots) or showcasing her superiority over her peers. There is a lot of talent that is not being used to full potential. All of the actors are good but the script is too predictable, the only character that is developing is the main character, and she is turning so cheesy perfect that she really is not likeable. I think they are using the same Artificial Intelligence script writing for Departure, another show that I initially thought would be interesting.

Immediate comparisons to the Hollywood show "The Rookie" which is a somewhat ridiculous show partly because the rookie is the lead in all things and the crime world somehow revolves around the rookie. The same thing occurs in this Canadian production. The rookie solves all crimes and seemingly needs no training at all. So, it's silly from that point of view. Exactly the same storyline's could have been used with a seasoned veteran and would have made more sense.

The upside is that it's well made and well acted so it is certainly watchable. It does look like it will rise above a certain bland level but it'll occupy you pleasantly for an hour or so.

Great police drama in a tv famine.

Canadian series with rookie police agent in her Surrey hometown.

Rookie good acting & captured my interest thru out.

Surprising find that engaged me completely from ep.1 thru the complete series.

Pretty much binged the series as so enjoyable.

Good acting & loved seeing my old Veronica Mars favourite ie. Enrico Colantoni in this series.

Terrific that each episode complete & engrossing.

Over arching theme re her father's own problem.

Hope to see Season 2 as a definite watch.

Recommend this series to others looking for well acted, produced police drama...

I have been pleasantly surprised by this series. The acting is excellent, bringing the characters to life, the soundtrack is great, a nice counterpoint to the story, helping bring it alive, the cinematography is well done, the camera work and sets are all excellent, the seasonal story arc is very interesting, i love shows that have a seasonal story running in the background of the episodic stories, and the episodic stories are all great, interesting and entertaining and lastly all the characters feel real, not generic or flat, so great casting, which is good because a show is so much better when the characters have depth and realness., Really enjoying Allegiance!

I have to admit - I very often hate 'Canadian' movies and some Can. TV shows. But this show is impressive.

This is like a Canadian version of the TV series The Rookie, starring Nathan Fillion. The female lead is similar to Nathan's character in that she is competent to a impressive degree.

I've watched 2 episodes so far, and the action is great, and the show is SMART, and well filmed. It helps the main characters are pleasant to look at.

I'm not sure if I'll get tired of the show pushing the anti-racism message. It's present - but not offensively preachy so far.

I'm looking forward to the third ep. I'm already invested in the characters.
