From Bill Brioux:
Remember last September when new, scripted Canadian TV shows were as scarce as promises kept at a CRTC hearing? Well, run that Maple Leaf flag back up the antenna: January marks the start of the real Canadian TV season.
Besides the return of 19-2 (Jan. 19, Bravo), Mr. D (Jan. 20, CBC), Spun Out (March 5, CTV), Motive (March 8, CTV), Remedy (February or March, Global) and Continuum(wrapping up with six final episodes in 2015 on Showcase), several new Canadian series are set to start. Here are seven to watch for in 2015. Continue reading.
I’m excited about X Company, Book of Negroes and Ascension and cautiously optimistic about Young Drunk Punk and Schitt’s Creek. No.mention of upcoming Space series Killjoys which is set to debut in 2015 too. As for returning fare, there’s plenty for me to be excited for as Hard Rock Medical, Vikings, Orphan Black, Bitten, Strange Empire, Heartland, Continuum, Masterchef Canada and Remedy will be coming back in the next few months. As for Strange Empire, the last two episodes brought me.back to liking the show –the standoff between Ling and John was great with Kat’s interference– I think the show does best when it doesn’t get too feminist–when both male and female characters have strong stories the show gets good.
P.S. I’m back to liking Strange Empire.
