The trailer intrigued me for the scenery/pagentry alone.

If they remade Alex Haley's Roots and cast white people as neighbours to Kunte Kinte in his home town in Africa, would that be okay? As soon as I saw nuns of colour (and remember...this is 1947 - the UK was a little more advanced than the US in acceptance, but they still had limitations). I've seen this in so many shows set in the 30s and 40s in the US when in reality there was NO WAY people of colour would have been in the small towns etc in shows I've seen. Fellow Travelers is one most recent set in the 40s, 50s, Washington DC. It's an insult to the racial injustices BIPOC faced.

I might still give this a try.

Thankfully, there are not as many airline accidents as they used to be, but I'm sure there must still be dozens they could do. Certainly the recent Boeing incidents could be portrayed. I'm curious why they decided to redo an accident they had previously portrayed. And as a previous reviewer said, it is really a slap in the face to the family whose son was killed in this incident is completely ignored. I also wonder if there are legal issues that they could face if they did choose to portray some airline accidents. I remember one that happened when a 747 crashed at Narita airport during the early 80s. I haven't seen that one, though it is true. I have not seen every single episode they have made.

I was looking forward to this so much! I have seen Law and Order UK version and thought that this might reflect a little more of the Canadian police and judicial systems. Where was the order part? Usually the first half of the show is the police investigations and the second half is the courtroom procedures. There was none of that. Nothing at all, showing the courtroom part of the procedures. This particular first episode also seemed to show so many ... what do I want to say, conveniences, that allowed the leading male character to come up with some brilliant conclusions.

Bring back Street Legal.
