Under Arrest is a spectacular reality cop show. The cameras really showcase an in-depth look into the street side of things in 90s western Canada during the crack and heroin epidemics. Some scenes get a little too crazy and they don't censor too much; for instance, a woman hung herself in a Vancouver motel room and the camera actually showed the body hanging. It's not for the weak stomached, sensitive or easily offended so take that into consideration before you watch. This show is raw! You'll get a few fun scenes such as the police closing bars in Surrey full of rowdy drunk people just having a good time screaming "hi mom!" into the camera, or the police doing street checks at 3am and dealing with a drunken funny guy. But not long into the show you may connect with the police officers you relate to the most, or even whomever they're interacting with, because they could be your neighbours. This show debuted 25 years ago, I was far too young back then to be downing pints at the Dell Hotel on King George Blvd like in the show, but every one of those faces you see has a story and I wonder where they're all right now. All I have left to say is when will Netflix release the next few seasons?
