Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Too many eggs in one basket. As enticing as Amy Price-Francis was in this show.. she was left carrying the weight of the entire series. And the 'relationships' with her several husbands, and a subordinate were never going to be enough to secure interest for a long time run for the series. Cop shows by nature are all pretty standard stuff.. the ones that survive through multiple seasons usually have numerous characters that the audience can latch onto. King never achieved this kind of storyline or character development, and was so one dimensional as to become unwatchable. Would really like to see Price-Francis again in a much more developed work, as she most definitely has the necessary allure and talent.

Homicide detective Jessica King (Amy Price-Francis) is sharp and great at her job. She has been ostracized for rooting out corruption in the force. Her personal life isn't much better. She and her husband are having marital problems; getting pregnant, outside love interest, and his gambling problem. She's taken back to create Major Crimes Task Force to deal with special cases. The constant visual joke is her height. She's always wearing heels no matter how much it hurts, and she towers over the chief in charge. That always brings me a smile.It's a pretty good procedural. Amy is a good solid actress. She commands the screen, but other than a few others, there is a lack of solid actors. It lasted 2 seasons. For a Canadian production without any US support, it's probably as much as can be expected.

Not sure if this has spoilers, but to be safe, I have to include it. This show is so good, the police drama, along with all of the relationships and their interactions. It's a shame they hired a supporting actress who sounds like she has a set of ill-fitting dentures. Please, either fire Karen Robinson or get her voice fixed. It sounds like a monster-steroid-bad dentures-voice, I don't know, but something is seriously wrong with her voice. Her acting is fine, but I have to mute the parts where she speaks and I miss parts of the show. They brought her in mid-season and I have no idea why. She must know someone high up in the show because there is no way anyone would hire that voice or allow it not to be dubbed.The investigations are interesting, stimulating. The chemistry is great between all except Karen Robinson. She just doesn't fit in with the group. I love the tousle-haired new detective, the long-term male detective and King's husband. His female partner on the job is someone you love to hate. King, very likable, very intelligent and sees things that others miss. Her boss is the typical long-term cop who is extremely jaded and distrusting.If you like a fast-paced well-written police drama where you see the outside relationships developing, you will love this. But don't say I didn't warn you about Karen Robinson's voice. It's scream invoking. I'd rate the show higher if not for having to endure that awful voice. Something is seriously wrong, dentures, hypermegaly, I don't know, but she needs to get to a physician.

To be the first to write a review at this late date.Not a cop show to redefine the genre but better than most that pass for a cop show these days.No unique powers. No personal quirks.Just intelligent,observant and experienced people going about their job. Relief to see a female character that doesn't go from being a winner in her professional life to a whiner in her personal life.This TV idea of women who spend all their free time obsessing about men is not very realistic and decidedly unattractive. They cast the lead right. Amy Price-Francis plays a strong woman who shows a certain levelheadedness, both on and off the job.The rest of the cast is uneven. With some better than others.The cases are middling as are the personal trials and tribulations.Nothing groundbreaking here.Unspectacular but not unwatchable.They got a second season so clearly enough people agreed.Wish them well.Thank you.Second season. Amy shines on. Cases are still middling. Support is still spotty. Canadian politeness is a standing joke but these muted, polite screams are embarrassing. Woman with dog, woman at card game etc all shrieking with such admirable restraint. Needs better casting. ----- Cancelled.
