Canadian Recs
(Anonymous) 2014-11-29 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)The Murdoch Mysteries NOTE: NOT THE CURRENT TV SHOW. The original TV movies. They were seriously better than the books. Victorian-era Toronto police detective who wants to bring 19th-century science into detective work. Strong characters, compelling dialogue, interesting, engaging plots, the look of the movies was amaaaaaaazing.
reGenesis Canada's answer to the CDC is a cross between the CIA and the fictional government agency from The Andromeda Strain. Much better than it sounds. Also, Peter Outerbridge (again).
From the Golden Oldies VCR cupboard, I present you:
Forever Knight Police procedural set in Toronto AS Toronto, with the main character a police detective who only works nights, because he's a vampire. Features Nigel Bennett as the creepy vampire protagonist who's trying to get the main character to go back to the vampire lifestyle. I don't really like the way they ended, the show, but meh. At least they ended it. If you like FULL CLOSURE when a series ends, full stop, FK is the show for you.
Highlander This series, on the other hand...closure, not so much. (Avoid any of the movies without Peter Wingfield like the plague. THE PLAGUE I tell you, THE PLAGUE.)
War of the Worlds. Shut up! It was good! OK maybe not "good" but still, it was SF, there were honest-to-God ALIEN aliens! It was cyberpunk! It was dystopian to the max! ...yeah okay it sucked. But I liked it. YMMV. The finale was hilariously bad in a Plan 9 From Outer Space kinda way, but I still have a tiny little spot in my blackened little cinder chip of a heart for that show. Plus, Julian Richings! (Currently playingg Death on SPN.)
Back to the present, I've heard nothing but glowing reviews for both Strange Empire and Republic of Doyle, but haven't seen either (Republic of Doyle is definitely not my thing...the best part of St. John's is, in my opinion, being physically as far away as you can get from that "city" without falling into the Atlantic.) So take those as potential recs.
Also, as I am Defiance!stan, I am just going to say, Defiance is totally 100% a Canadian show, so you must all go watch it. *raspberry*

You caught up to date on it? The last episode of the current season? Literally saw it yesterday and am STILL in shock.
HOLY FUCK.
