    I so wanted to give this so a better rating. But after seeing 2 episodes I am almost ready to say good bye! The Cop and the Ex girlfriend are terrible. Great looks but stupid. The Cop has Everybody's Guilty No ones innocent complex. The Doc is Not very trusting of anyone. The partner is funny. Not sure about the Boss. If they calm the two women down I think this show just might work.Though the concept is interesting, the final product is more than lacking. Bad plot, leaving no mystery at all. Horrid acting; no chemistry between anyone. What I feel is the only good part of this show is the scenes for the main character "reading" a person's mind. Too bad. It sounded very interesting.

    I remembered watching this show when it was on here in the USA. I was disappointed that it was taken off prime time. The story line behind Toby and his abilities is fun and just a little off the norm that it could happen, it could be believable. Thats what gives this show it's edge. Plus the fine line he has to balance on as to whether he's protecting someone or prying/invading into their personal lives is a tricky area. This past year I have found I could watch the remaining seasons that were produced in Canada here online. I was using your TV series to access them but it seems that site has changed a bit this month and now I cant really find any links to the episode downloads. Very upsetting especially since I have 1/2 way through season 3.

    I just discovered this show recently. I live close to Toronto so it's great to see such an awesome show coming from my area. WOW, Craig Olejnik is sooo easy on the eyes! Usually I watch TV with one eye on the screen and one on my computer; Craig makes it impossible to do that! The story lines are well-written. Love the banter between Oz and Toby and the chemistry between Toby and Liv. The show really reminds me of "The Pretender" series, which I also loved. I hope they don't end this series for a long time and that they don't end it abruptly and without resolution like "The Pretender". Hope to see this show for many years to come!

    So far I have only seen 3-4 episodes but it is different from many main stream shows and seems to have good characterizations and decent writing. The acting is fine and the people seem real, not too pretty, slick or glib. I prefer seeing people who look real and not like models; it is much more believable when there are wrinkles, flaws and wear and tear on the faces. Canadian and British casting seems to be very good for that. The world and time worn Gordon Pinsent is on one episode, he is an underrated and not well enough known actor who adds so much to everything he does. Doubtless his choice to stay in Canada was to his careers' detriment. I hope I am wrong but it looks like this show was not renewed, typical for many very good shows here in Canada, unfortunately. We suffer from a national inferiority complex which means until things are recognized outside our borders we don't really feel like it is "good enough" to merit our support. If the show was renewed I would love to know.
