19-2

It's refreshing to finally see an English language show that's filmed in Montreal actually be based in Montreal storyline wise. This show steers clear of the stereotypical cop characters and shows us many shades of grey rather than the standard black and white we too often see. I love the cold blueness of the shots.

Seems like this might be shot with no filters and I love that look. Looking forward to seeing how the show plays out. It almost feels like we're getting a behind the scenes glimpse into the day to day lives of police officers. The show seems to be staying true to The French version and that's a good thing since I also really have liked that show too. Good stuff!

I LOVE 19-2 and I'm bummed that the fourth season is the final season. I wish it would go on forever. There is a special quality to this show that is rarer than rare, as if all concerned are concerned with just doing their jobs and keeping it real, because real is the operative element here. I am going to watch this series again, it's that good! The only series I've watched twice are The Sopranos, when I got a big screen TV, and Prime Suspect, which is amazing. Come to think of it, it may be time to re-watch a few more of Lynda LaPlante's series. Acorn TV has them, as they have 19-2. TV is ten times better than movies now. We're all very lucky.

This show seriously deserves the great reviews, a brilliant show with incredible actors who give outstanding performances all through the series. This show surprised me on a grand scale, with impeccable story lines and even better executed characters. The character development throughout the show keeps you second guessing everything you are ever told about the shows' protagonists and have you yearning for more. The portrayal of street life is what I imagine it to be like in the real world. 19-2 has amazing twists and turns, it shows that even the black and white cases have some grey areas. The cinematography within the episodes themselves is beautiful and seriously warrants recognition. Each and every episode tackles a fresh angle and perspective on a story which is both realistic and completely fictional, through the balance is not perfect, it does come close.

I was semi-surprised I suppose, to see the negative reviews. I waste very little time on TV these days, but there a few shows which I am very much drawn into.19-2 is certainly one of them. Along with Ballers, Game of Thrones, Ray Donovan, Bosch, (quite like the one with Lucifer on regular cable too) 19-2 is excellent. And, it's Canadian. The first time I came across Jared Keeso was LetterKenny. Classic for sure, if you played hockey in this country (Canada)! But wow, dude is a solid actor! He, and Nick Barron (not looking up his name right now) are excellent! I've been literally shocked by a couple episodes over the few years, and that rarely happens. Very real, and gritty, really good show! Honestly don't get what the haters are hating on. Unless it's compared to the French version which I just can't speak to (much love to my French Canadian brothers)! Give it a watch. I suspect you won't be disappointed!

I really didn't like this show at first. My first bad impression was "Montreal Police that speak English, with most cops having zero French accent... lame"

Well, everything else about this show out-weighed that obvious flaw.

I'm not a fan of slow paced films, but this one did it very well. The sound was on point with the tension, directing and cinematography perfect, and the acting spot on!

What's even more intriguing, how Jared Keeso has evolved from a serious playing cop to his character in Letterkenny... wow.

Props to all those involved for yet another top-notch Canadian production! 9/10 from me
