New TV show: Flashpoint
Jul. 14th, 2008 10:32 amI have now caught the premiere of CBS's new show Flashpoint twice. More to the point, I have seen portions of it twice and now actually managed to see the whole thing.
This is a pretty good show. It's Canadian - they don't even try to hide it - they call the police officers "constable" and everything (hell, there's a panorama shot where you go, oh, hello downtown Toronto with your fancy CN tower...). And it's suspenseful. I mean, at it's heart it's a cop show and it's going to be about cases and about the relationships on the team and about how being a cop affects the lives of the guys on the team.
But the premiere also about gave me a heart attack at the climactic moment (the first time I saw it) and made me a little queasy in sympathy with the protagonist. So hey, points for that.
Definitely one to keep an eye on.
