Rookie Blue, Global – Season premiere “The First Day of the Rest of Your Life”
Andy returns to 15 Division after being suspended and encounters several changes, including her possible new replacement – rookie Nick Collins (Peter Mooney) who also happens to be Gail’s ex-fiancé. While tension is high between Andy and Swarek during a car-ride, the two come upon a scene of a multi-car accident involving a belligerent drunk driver (William Shatner) with a haunting secret and a serious grudge against the police.

Sanctuary not “economically viable”

From Marsha Lederman of the Globe and Mail:

  • It’s over for Canadian sci-fi series Sanctuary
    While the official cancellation was announced this week (with word from the U.S. cable network Syfy that it would not pick up a fifth season), it seems that may have been a formality. The series was already done, according to Kindler, because of a decision by Beedie Development Group: The Burnaby-based real-estate developer, which had bankrolled the Canadian show (effectively operating as its studio), decided not to continue with the venture.

Rookie Blue returns

From Jonathan Dekel of Postmedia News:

  • Rookie Blue is back on the beat
    A man with a giant Mohawk hairdo is gesturing wildly at a uniformed police officer. Though it looks as if the scene could escalate to G-20 proportions, this one plays out differently – ending with the officer walking away, looking deep in thought, while the towering punk (also known as director Steve DiMarco) takes a seat behind a monitor and yells “action!” Read more.

From Denette Wilford of Huffington Post Canada:

  • ‘Rookie Blue’ Returns, And Yes, I’m Happy About It
    I’ve loved “Rookie Blue” since it debuted two years ago. I have a real fondness for the stars, who I’ve spoken to on numerous occasions (whether it’s on location or in a fancy hotel suite), but there’s something about the series that makes me proud. Sure, it’s a Canadian/U.S. co-production but the series’ references to all things Toronto — from the shots of TTC streetcars or landmarks, or its mentions of familiar streets — gives us Canadians something to look forward to. Ultimately, what I like best is that the police drama has a real knack for being funny and bumbling, which provides a nice break from its more serious storylines. Read more.
