my moral standing is lying down

OH MY GOD. This show is SO FUCKED UP. It's so FUCKING AMAZING.

Mike I love you so much. Oh Sadie. <3 Please don't go crazy.

So I'm in the midst of watching Durham County season 1 right now. Which is only 6 episodes per season -- is that typical for Canadian TV?

Started out kinda slow, but not in a boring way. More like a slow build-up, intriguing sorta way. I thought this was going to be a typical episodic police primetime drama thing, but it hasn't been so far. The mystery from the first episode has yet to be solved and I just finished watching the third. And there's some fun, dark stuff going on with Mike, the main character, as well as some issues with his family that are maybe a little darker than you'd usually get in this type of drama. (Though really, I'm not completely sure since I barely watch TV.)

But damn, they really know how to do tension in this show. And when you think they've given you a little relief on one issue, they'll hike it up on another issue. Thoroughly ensnared is what you've become.

It's very well done.


And then, anything that allows me to hear Hugh Dillon's voice for a good length of time can't be all that bad...

Update: Ooooh, hockey fight! (This is why I love Canadian shows!) I can now die happy, having seen Hugh Dillon in a hockey fight. (Which, of course, he won decisively.)

Update 2: 2:46am. Okay, so just finished season 1 and FUCK. GOOD SHOW, HUGH! Also, Mike, I hate your wife, can we get rid of her? Your daughter is freaking awesome, though, good job.
