Cardinal

I really liked this. I could not wait for each new episode! I wish there were/are more shows like this! I love the characters. I got hooked pretty quickly. So glad I accidently found this!

No details on series available on app

I am really enjoying this crime/thriller/detective show. The cast are good and have decent chemistry. While the main plot is nothing extraordinary the subplots are what make this interesting to watch. Admittedly after the first episode I was not sure if it was worth continuing but as I have watched more and more, 5 episodes in now I am totally hooked.

Tremendous television!

Very sad to see it depart our screens, but it's never truly a bad thing if a series ends on a high which 'Cardinal' definitely does. S1 is my personal favourite, but S2,3+4 are also excellent. Billy Campbell and Karine Vanasse are outstanding in the lead roles, while the look of the show is pretty breathtaking at times - it's beautifully made.

Go watch!

This is truly good TV! I've just finished the third season, and can hardly wait for the fourth. This series is based on the CARDINAL book series, by Giles Blunt, who "has received many awards from highly reputed associations for his writings. The first two novels of the John Cardinal series fetched him the British Crime Writers’ Asociation Silver Dagger and the Crime Writers of Canada’s Arthur Ellis Award respectively. He has proudly been compared with the likes of Ian Rankin and Cormac McCarthy and has been nominated for the Dublin IMPAC award two times." (https://www.bookseriesinorder.com/giles-blunt). Beyond really good writing, the series has fine performances by :flag_ca:Billy Campbell and :flag_ca:Karine Vanasse. The screenplays are evenly paced, the characters are credible law officers and solving the crimes is balanced with great character archs. This is a Bell production in partnership with :flag_ca:CTV (which will mean something to Canadians who will be able to catch it On Demand or through CTV's app) but internationally, it means you can expect beautiful :flag_ca:locations. I highly recommend this series and rate it a 9 (superb) out of 10. [Crime Drama] {Just finished the fourth and final season and found it a little slow and the soundtrack was horrid, but, Billy Campbell and Karine Vanasse fill the silence between the very limited dialogue. This season dropped to a 7 (good) for me. Everything else in my original review stands.}

Cardinal - ❤x7

This is a good show. The overall story and sub-stories are nothing we haven't seen before. But, the acting, writing and settings are what make this show in my opinion.
I do however worry about the writers and their state of mind as some of this is pretty messed up.

How I rate:
1-3 ❤ = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 ❤ = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 ❤ = I expect you will like this too
9-10 ❤ = movies and TV shows I really love!

What’s up with the whisper voice Billy? Is that really necessary? Makes you sound like a moron. Not sure who started the cursed whisper voice but I first noticed dufus doing it in 24…

it is very Canadian, eh
