School

I completely agree with the previous reviewer and also can't beleieve there haven't been other reviews, This really is remarkable television and, even having previously watched season one, and indeed other cop shows for years, I wasn't prepared for it. The content is extremely graphic in places, and the subject matter potentially very distressing, so caution is strongly advised. However, I've never seen anything that has come close to this episode in terms of capturing the sense of being in the situation, with it's associated chaos, fear, confusion, and bravery. Absolutey incredible television.

This ep is so tense and intense. I couldn't breathe.

One of the best episodes of tv I have ever seen. The level of emotion and intensity was insane. Superb writing and even better acting. I was left stunned and exhausted when it was over.

First - why have I never heard of this show? No - I don't live in Canada - but I'm sure people in Canada know of / watch shows like Law & Order right?? I can't believe I just found it. I binged the entire 1st season yesterday.

Second - It has a very "ER" vibe to it. Which is a definite compliment. Just crazy stuff going on constantly but they're able to pull back to let the characters be front & center when necessary. The camera work / the way a scene is framed is amazing.

Third - the acting is really excellent. Jared Keeso- I mean OMG.....I have only ever seen him in LETTERKENNEY so I was very pleasantly surprised & impressed by him. He has made me cry too many times.

Lastly - this is one of my top 5 favorite episodes of any show I've ever watched. Truly heartbreaking and anxiety inducing - but i couldn't stop watching.

I barely watch t.v. anymore because the acting is so out of touch with reality. This season opener with the school shooting is both the best drama I have seen in years as well as the closest to the reality of what has been going on over the past two years or so in both Canada and the U.S. The acting is incredibly god and the actors bring you right into the school with your children there and your husband and wife as the 1st responders. Excellent job. If the rest of the season is anywhere near as good as this I won't miss one episode. I work as a speech writer for federal Ministers on First Nations. Wait until I get them watching it. You'll have a whole new audience who need a relief when under constant pressure. Excellent work!
