The Listener, CTV – “The Bank Job”
Due to the mental strain of his telepathic abilities, and the continued warnings from Dr. Olivia Fawcett (Mylène Dinh-Robic, STARGATE ATLANTIS) about the toll they are taking on his health, Toby (Craig Olejnik) decides to ignore them and live a normal life. But his good intentions are tested when he’s taken hostage during a bank heist, and the only way to ensure the safety of the other hostages is to risk his own. While Toby’s efforts help Sgt. McCluskey (Lauren Lee Smith) with the bank heist investigation, they also land him in another precarious situation when she’s forced to reveal the truth about his abilities to her boss Alvin Klein (Peter Stebbings, MURDOCH MYSTERIES).
So glad this show is back! Though I wish Cdn series were aired more during fall/winter, there is precious little on TV nowadays so the return of The Listener, Rookie Blue, Murdoch and the new show Saving Hope are a welcome break. It’s great to see my hometown on TV. Would like to see other network shows filmed in other regions too but it’s better than nothing!
