Cracked

Cracked examines shades of grey

From Scott Stinson of the National Post:

  • The head cases of Cracked
    This exchange, from the premiere episode of Cracked, nicely sums up the nut of the new CBC drama: a police procedural about a fictional Toronto police unit — Psych Crimes and Crises — that pairs detectives with psychiatrists, the series has a natural tension between the cops and non-cops. In the opener, Detective Aidan Black (David Sutcliffe, Gilmore Girls) thinks the Rosedale murder might simply be a botched robbery. His partner, Dr. Daniella Ridley (Stefanie von Pfetten, NCIS), wonders if the killer has sensory or memory issues related to light. Thus the light bulb. And the crack about unicorns. Read more.
