CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
lawlorwalter This is a really boring show with predictable over the top drama. Some of the worst writing and acting I have seen on Canadian television in my entire life. Only watch if you have almost nothing else available to you.
Me Roughley This was a lame show. Bad writing, bad acting and just poorly done drama overall. Just not very interesting and hammy.
KevinA564 Zoie Palmer is excellent in this role. she doesn't miss a beat in this Canadian "coast guard" type show with no policing powers. It's more of a search and rescue drama, and a good one at that. Good mix of interpersonal and job related story lines; In which i must say is very well done by Zoie Palmer. Zoie plays Carly on the show and has been through hell, being raised on a boat by an abusive father and making her way back up to what can only be described as a search and rescue type emergency medical Tech. In the states that would be an EMT-Basic. She picks terrible partners and is insecure yet tough and a "stand up" gal who is loyal to her workmates. You have to watch a few shows to see and understand all the relationships going on in the great series!It deserves to remain in production / syndication here in the USA.Well done to all.
bangskij68 on IMDb, -and I had just seen some Andromeda episodes and I had nothing to watch so I looked up the actors and I found The Guard which had just begun airing, followed the show since and I much enjoy it. The Guard feels "real" for lack of another word, the drama is usually high tension and the interpersonal banter is just great writing. I hope they make more of this. Specifically I was following comedian Gordon Michael Woolvett for his on-screen presence and charm, while a regular his character does not have the most screen time, -his character is in a wheel chair and I think he's selling it well. There's a certain moodiness over the show that I enjoy, the feelings are as large as the landscape as they say and the landscape sure is magnificent.
