Can Cracked come out its shell in Season Two
The Toronto-based drama, about a Psychic Crimes Unit, barely cracked the half-million viewers aq week mark in its first season last spring. Cash-strapped CBC renewed it, but tentatively, granting it an eight week fall run. That’s not much time to turn around a series.

Try to support Canadian broadcasting but this season – Cracked – not off to a good beginning. Replacement of the doc, poor choice, why not a n older, mature woman ?
Cracked was not broken last year, its difference from other shows is what drew watchers to it – at least it did for us : ).
And since when does Aidan smile, the more laid back, almost goofiness was strange.
This seems to be a popular opinion among the fans. I have no idea why they decided to make such drastic changes, but it chased away their entire audience.
It’s such a disappointment. I used to really like Cracked as well as Dr. Daniella. Adding a younger doctor to make the season “more playful” sounds stupid and insulting to me. Not to mention highly unrealistic.
