Intelligence - Awesome Canuckian drama

[Placebo]

Anyone watch this other than me? Season 2 just came to an end with a 2 hour finale, this is one of the most intelligent (excuse the pun), well written dramas I've watched in years, if anyone's looking for some TV time to fill I suggest you grab this

Basically it's about Mary Spalding who heads Vancouver's anti crime unit and Jimmy Reardon who runs a marijuana shipping empire (pot is grown in Canada and shipped into the US) and how they build up a relationship with each other to help them out in their different roles, it's hard to really describe what it's about, you just need to watch it!

Summary from the creator's site:

Intelligence is the story of opposite sides of the law coming together to serve themselves and each other. It is a cat and mouse game of exploitation and cover-up as each camp uses intelligence agents to build their enterprises.

The 13-part hour-long series picks up where the pilot left off. Jimmy Reardon (Tracey), third generation crime boss, and Mary Spalding (Scott) Director of Vancouver's Organized Crime Unit (OCU), made deals with the devil - that is, each other. Jimmy agreed to work with Mary as a star informant, and Mary made a deal to protect Reardon from prosecution. Each will attempt to use the other without getting caught in the act. The season begins with both players cleaning house, getting rid of their worst agents and informants.

Reardon works with a gang of cut-throat dope dealers, pimps and thieves, including his right-hand man Ronnie Delmonico, played by John Cassini (The Handler, Robson Arms). While Jimmy and Ronnie struggle to keep their team in line and out of jail, Spalding has her hands full dealing with a clutch of errant, power hungry intelligence agents anxious to see her fail and their own careers advance. Heading this voracious pack is her immediate underling, veteran agent and loose cannon, Ted Altman, played by Matt Frewer (Taken, Max Headroom).

The critically-acclaimed two-hour series pilot, to be re-broadcast on CBC-TV on Tuesday, September 26 at 8 p.m., just received five Gemini nominations for Best Television Movie, Best Writing (Haddock), Best Direction (Stephen Surjik) and Best Performance by Lead Actor and Actress for Tracey and Scott.

Can't say I've watched it or even heard much about it despite leaving here but it sounds good and I'll give it a chance if I see it on.
