7/10
Good cop drama but...
3 February 2016
All the French people seem to have disappeared from Montreal! The police dispatcher mispronounces every French street name. Does English-language Canadian TV have to be so segregated? When I lived in Montreal (admittedly many years ago) even the English cops spoke French. Subtitles during encounters with French people could be used.

The show is otherwise a good slice-of-life cop show, making good use of the stresses of everyday policing. The locations are gritty, and the bad guys are bad in their own Canadian ways. The handling the of domestic disputes is especially good.

I've watched only four episodes so far, so perhaps things will change. Perhaps also some story arcs not connected with cops' personal lives (like run ins with the the same bad guys) would add depth.
