An interesting and well executed crime mystery. An impressive performance by Anna Paquin. (I was wondering why she has been doing so many Canadian productions lately - did a little research and discovered she is a Canadian! Who knew? Born in WInnepeg! Raised in New Zealand. Holds dual citizenship with Canada and New Zealand. Moved to California when she was 13, where she still lives. But, I digress. National pride getting the best of me - more, yet, to come - sorry about that!). I've been aware of Anna Paquin's performances over her career, but I've never seen her as completely believable as she is in this mature performance. The acting in this piece is solid by the whole of the cast (and garnered some awards). The writing is also good. The tag line for this series was "Everyone has something to hide" and each episode exposed a likely villain. My beef was that it is a "sit and watch" mystery rather than a "beat the police to solve the crime(s)" mystery, but it is an enjoyable "sit and watch". (Sorry - now I return to bragging - As I alluded to, this is a Canadian production, filmed in Canada, not pretending to be anywhere but Canada, produced by our National Broadcaster, CBC, and a good production worthy of our pride.) I give this series a 7.9 (really good) out of 10. [Police Procedural Mystery]
