I am not a Russell Peters fan and never will be - but for some reason I enjoy the Seinfeld-style wooden acting, the evocative music and scenery, the too-gorgeous-for-Russell-Peters actress and the mostly patchy dialogue that doesn't quite settle on a genre. I'm right up to date watching it, which argues to me that I must be having a good time doing so, although I cannot say precisely why.
Really enjoyed this Peters is funny and has some pretty good acting chops, Shatner is fantastic for a normal stiff he show top acting as a heavy.
The indian girl is just to beautiful to not like and she's a decent actress, this was left a little open for a 2nd season but not that the 1st was compromised.

WOW the reviews on here are harsh to say the least....I guess a lot of these people don't watch enough bad TV to know the difference been something decent and inventive to real garbage. I am not a huge Russell Peters fan but I did like him as a cop in this series, it's got drama. comedy, action and an interesting story line concept - and I love that it takes place in Canada and India. Very cool!!! Can't wait for the continuation of what happens next...stay tuned I guess!
Yet again a great show that didn't get picked up! The show is charming, witty, sarcastically funny and entertaining as hell! I hope somebody with some influence watches it feels the same way and decides to make a new season!
Not sure about the cultural implications, if any. But for an outsider the series was interesting and cosy detective series - like. Seen it a while ago, so details may be less clear. An indian detective, as the title says, goes back to his father and gets in the middle of some events that need investigating, with leads that take him to a powerful businessman, if I remember correctly. The main character has to adjust to being targeted by corrupt villains, and to the street ways, which are different from what he knows about doing his job. He is naive here and there, due to the rough environment. The father is intriguing and funny, the love interest left me waiting for the second season, yet to come to this date. The lead actor comes from standup and has an attractive, particular style. A series to try if you like lighter, atmospheric detective shows. And comedy.
