From Brian Gorman of the Sudbury Star:

• Open Letter
  “A few years back, award-winning Canadian playwright George F. Walker and his screenwriting partner Dani Romain produced a series that stands out in CBC history as an original. This Is Wonderland was an odd little drama series about the Toronto lower courts, a surreal world in which lawyers and judges often were as damaged as the people they represented.” Read more.

From Joel Rubinoff of The Record:

• A Line to a big break
  “With the pensive look of a cornered animal, the beleaguered gang wife played by Kitchener native Sarah Manninen perfectly encapsulates the tensions running through The Line (10 p.m. Monday on TMN), an ambitiously sprawling Canadian counterpart to U.S. cable series The Wire.” Read more.

From Bill Brioux at TV Feeds My Family:

• The Line is Worth The Weight
  “The good news is that The Line is on the air, starting tonight, with a total of 15 episodes set to roll. The series explores the line between right and wrong, good and bad and sometimes even erases it. It reminds me a bit of a series that was years ahead of its time–Paul Haggis’ EZ Streets.” Read more.

From Rob Salem of the Toronto Star:

• Loved The Wire? Then Walk The Line
  “The Line is Canadian cable’s answer to the HBO cult hit The Wire. Normally, this sort of comparison tends to be derogatory or dismissive. It is, in this case, quite the opposite: The Line is in every best possible sense a very Canadian take on similar settings, story elements, characters and themes.” Read more.

From me at Blogcritics (yeah, sorry for another punny title):

• Cops and Drug Dealers Cross The Line In New Series
  “The Movie Network and Movie Central are premiering a new cop show today, but don’t expect another case-of-the-week premise. ‘These cops weren’t going to investigate anything because they think they know all they need to know, so it’s just a matter of what they’re going to do about it,’ said The Line co-creator George F. Walker in a recent interview. ‘They don’t follow procedures. They are past caring about their jobs.'” Read more.
