I've only seen a few episodes so far, but watching this show reminds me of watching one of those nameless European soaps one sees when traveling in Europe... except that you can understand the dialogue.
That said, there's a kind of natural feel to the show and its characters; even if the subject matter isn't all that deep (maybe even a bit sleazy) the plot moves along at a decent clip and can keep you hooked. Plus it's a daily show which is pretty impressive.
Nice to see a local (Toronto) show that's actually about Toronto and doesn't feel like it was made by some committee of government bureaucrats.
