The show should be called The Bionic Canadian. I love Canada. Some days I even wish I were Canadian. But I drives me nuts when brain dead executives farm out film projects to Canada to save money then say it's Seattle. Why don't directors ever say "Great, but lets try that without the Canadian accent." And for God's sake will somebody show the Canadian Grip/Lighting crews how to properly light a set!

I don't find the acting to be the problem. The camera work on Canadian productions is always top notch. The "mise en scene" and set design are great. The writing is second to none. I really blame the directors and Gaffers. The only Canadian productions that don't suffer from this phenomena are The Trailer Park Boys and Chilly Beach.

That's got J.J. Abrams written all over it.
Is it him?

It certainly looks good.
Not bad, going from a dark depressing soap to something that actually looks quite good.
Apart from the dark depressing bits....

Dear god yes!
You know that if anyone is ever allowed even a spark of happiness, it will all turn to crap within the month...
Just got married?
All loved up at Christmas?
Then one of you is going to get wiped out by a car skidding in the winter snow...
New girlfriend?
Happy ever after?
No, turns out she has boffed your dad....
All happy and cheery, and the best part is, the wife wants me to tape tonights episode cos she still watches the damned show.
