Michael Clegg –
This series is excellent. No extreme violence and a fair amount of humor. If you are old enough to remember The Rockford Files and liked it you will love this. A Canadian version of it only better.

Truly one of the very best series in recent television history. Somehow a cross between Rockford Files, Streets of San Francisco, etc., but updated! Original because of the setting and the characterizations of all of the players! Jake Doyle is everybody’s “bad boy”, constantly in trouble and always “crossing the line”. Constable Leslie Bennett is his foil, but also has her eyes on her foyle, er, Doyle! Those classic pleading eyes don’t lie! Sometimes hilariously crass and sometimes very sweet, there are some very strong life lessons being delivered at all times, if you look for them. You absolutely will not be able to stop watching from episode to episode. From the sometimes extraordinarily complex, well written scripts to the infectious theme song, this program hits the mark. Oh, and by the time your finished watching the series, you’ll be planning your next vacation to Newfoundland!

The product was delivered as promised and in very good condition. It takes a couple of episodes to get into the story but once involved it’s a very good light hearted detective mystery.

Well written & acted with some good humor added to the mix! I would recommend this show to anyone who likes good acting, good stories and good way to spend an evening. Kudos to Allan Hawco, hope he comes up with something new again….
