Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

cyntaxera To be honest, I didn't think much of the pilot, but I wanted to give it a chance because of the topic matter. With there still being such a negative stigma attached to mental illness sufferers, it's good to see relatable, realistic characters that are either displaying signs of a mental illness or be seen to be compassionate and understanding towards those going through the symptoms.If I were to nitpick at it, I guess some of the writing seemed a bit lazy in parts, but I find the characters likable despite (or maybe because of?) their flaws. I find myself being easily drawn into the plot and I guess this helps me overlook what I see as failures in the story line where luck seems to have them in the right place at the right time saying just the right things... not as realistic as I'd like, but I guess I'm watching this more for the entertainment factor.It also helps having actors who double as eye candy ;)

Elle Johnston There is only one word to describe this t.v. series and that word is "horrible". Where to start on what made for such a disappointing and horrible first episode? The actors? The script? The unrealistic role of the unit? The audio mixing? The fact that the writer and director wants us to believe that a cop that had a break down and saw three psychiatrists who is now fit for duty can "connect" with a delusional schizophrenic murderer? I was really hoping that Cracked would be good in the same way that The Bridge was good. But five minutes into the show and seeing a doctor ordering a cop to handcuff the victim being detained by a delusional man who has a history of mental illness my hopes were dashed. Because no where in Canada or the U.S. would a police officer ever handcuff a victim. It's called unlawful detainment and in Canada it's a Charter violation and considering that the show takes place in Toronto the Charter would apply. The other issue is the handling of a person holding someone against their will would not be dealt with in such a "gentle manner". On a scale of 1 - 10 with 1 being the lowest, I give this show a 0 because it was just that bad.

jane bell I have now watched two episodes hoping the second would be an improvement on the first, opening night jitters I thought. Never like to judge on one episode alone. Sadly, the second wasn't much better. It's stale and has little new to it. A show can get by with a reliable formula but this particular show has 3 terribly bad points. It's very boring, the writing seems clichéd and lazy and the acting. There is no chemistry between the actors and the actress who portrays Danielle is particularly bad. They ensemble cast look like they are acting, nothing is natural. I struggle to find how this show found it's way to TV. At no point did CBC stop and say "This is awful, we have to change this". If this is the best that was on offer I really worry for the future of Canadian TV writing. The good points. It's polished(Although i do prefer gritty) and there is a good core idea there. It's been executed very badly though. And i won't be giving it a third chance to find out if it improves.

snakehip I'll be short, Well structured fantasy play on what rescources cops have in real life! Although not a serious drama and escapist by design it has some messages worth viewing! I enjoyed this given it reflects what I'd like to be able to do in my RL job! The tension of Law enforcement vs Community problems ie. Mental health issues. (the lack of rescources for Mental Health Treatement Worldwide)Rights for the Mentally Ill!Although not strictly realistic this show reflects a common experience by both caring and law enforcement agencies. For many years there has been a ping pong of this responsibility and this is the first time I've seen this translated into a real working model although fictitious .I'd recommend a viewing, even to support expanded utilization of mental health professionals within forensic deployments (my forensic byas)
