I Saw this on TV when it first aired. Must have been at least 15 years ago. Loved it, like I loved all Canadian Scifi in that time period but would only have rated it 7 stars. Now I have watched some episods every day and I'm into half the third season. Unlike a lot of "older" tv-shows this one still hold its ground and it keeps getting better for every new season. Unlike my 15 years younger self I actually love Anna Torvs acting. She is great. (I used to think she was stiff, but she was just before her time haha). What hasn't changed is the superb acting of John Noble who play doctor Bishop!!. Joshua Jackson (Bishop Jr) & Jasika Nicole (Astrid) are also solid actors. The plot is very thought trough and the episodes are (mostly) stand alone but with a thick red line going through everything. If u committed, that Red line will give you a fantastic insight in the shows character, so for your own good.. Watch the entire show within a few months... Then it will be a ten star experience!

The story starts a bit slow, but the small pieces of the puzzle draws you in. If you don't pay attention or aren't used to make sense of and puzzle clues together, then maybe this show isn't for you. Unlike many other shows it doesn't always explain the clues. Its up to you to put the pieces together.. You get to know what happens in the end, but the road there becomes so much better if y put on the detective suit yourself. .

Some of the previous reviews compare the main actor as similar to a young Jodie Foster, and I have to agree .. she is brilliant, and so is the actor playing Billy Farrah (Fangs).
