OK checked around and there didn't find a topic on this but do what you do if there happens to be one.
Firstly yes this is CBC so I will not bother myself with saying anything of the usual as there are people who enjoy it far more than me.
Secondly as to it's entertainment value I'd rate it as decent.
Now to the point: blatant American bashing that I grew tired of rather quickly, there was no need to incorporate the American agent into the show it would have been better off with just the Canadian characters. In the first episode there is no end of the CSIS bashing and seems to say to me that the CBC believes it can make a better intelligence Agency than the gov't. It was also not throughly researched or produced as during the third episode a group of supposedly JTF2 commando's was referred to as a 'squad' (unless that is what they are actually called in JTF2) and while the character spoke of F16's being scrambled the video shown was clearly of F15's.
I may continue to watch the show simply for the hope that it will get better... or just because...
And can anybody clarify on what they meant in the third episode with "All our CFB jets are supporting your war on terror" as to CF18's (I'm assuming) being unavailable. And yes as I heard it it was "CFB"
Any other comments?
