19-2

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 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

From the first episode 19-2 distinguishes itself as a unique look inside a unit of urban patrolmen, giving equal glimpses of their lives on and off the job. This show is more character study than police procedural-- yes there are calls to answer and nerve wracking situations, but they exist as vehicles for developing our understanding of what makes these men and women tick as individuals and partners. The dialog is extremely well written and acted--the actors speak like real people in real situations. Occasionally scenes switch from what is happening IN the moment to what the characters are thinking OF the moment, a plot device that only works if a scene is expertly written,which is definitely the case here! Episode 10 just aired this week and a major (yet completely unanticipated) revelation occurred that I suspect will shift alliances and friendships within the unit. I have no idea what will happen next, but I'm sure it will be interesting!

This series is developing quite well, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's around for quite awhile!

I feel like Canadian TV has really stepped up its game in the last few years. I was blown away by 19-2 from the first scene and have not looked back. The character development has me fully committed to the outcomes of their lives. The story line really taps into the grittiness of real life and the challenges of the not so generic population. I love that this steps away from the white picket fence middle America and expresses some serious honesty. This show could have been really typical but it has been anything but - the feeling when I sit down and watch every week is that of a movie. I would rival this show to some original Netflix series that have done very well (Orange is the New Black). I will also never complain about a Nick Barron "butt" shot or watching Beatrice throw down for all of us girls out there. Bravo is setting a new standard with its actors as well and the attention to the details. I say Bravo - to Bravo and the cast of 19-2. You should all be proud, I know I am.

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!
