King stars Amy Price-Francis as Jessica King, the newly appointed lead investigator of Toronto’s Major Crimes Task Force. When police detectives are stumped, King is called in to take over the investigation. Fiercely intelligent, she’s survived eight years in Homicide, two marriages and multiple stab wounds. As an investigator, King is a lateral, imaginative thinker whose unique eye for detail turns cases around, and she has a rare quality: King doesn’t need to be liked.
One of the better crime drama’s produced in a while. Amy Price Francis is compelling and believable in spite of the high heels
The whole shoe obsession strikes me as yet another attempt to give a protagonist some personality quirk, which seems to be all the rage these days. Hopefully, it will be minimized now that the pilot is over and done with.
I have to say that the performances of the two leads, the dialogue, and the pacing of the pilot definitely worked in the show’s favor.
