Call Me Fitz

Call Me Fitz a (failed) redemption story

From Denise Duguay of the Montreal Gazette:

  • Series debut: Jason Priestley in HBO Canada’s Call Me Fitz
    “But playing shockingly against type is not enough of a trick to sustain even a half-hour comedy so thankfully there’s more to like in Call Me Fitz, although “like” might not be the right word. It’s a redemption story, or maybe just a failed redemption story with dark humour and vigorously drawn characters.” Read more.

  • Rookie Blue EP Tassie Cameron Talks About Series Success, The Cast, and Previews Season Two
    “Getting strong ratings always feels great — those Friday mornings when the numbers rolled in were pretty damn exciting this summer. And while it’s always a bit of alchemy — a bit of lightning in a bottle — I think the trick is to think up a show that you yourself would want to watch, and then fight like hell to get the very best writers, cast and crew to work on it. With any luck, this is just the beginning of a brave new wave of Canadian shows that become hits outside Canada — there’s so much talent in this country that deserves to be recognized.” Read more.

Thoughts on Shattered and Lost Girl

From TVphile:

  • New shows from the Great White North: Shattered and Lost Girl
    “Shattered: So going into this, with the description I had, I had no clue it would be a drama or a comedy. After all, Monk, the show about a (former) police detective with OCD is far more of a comedy than a drama. And United States of Tara, another show about a person diagnosed with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder, the proper term for multiple personality disorder), is also a dark comedy. But now that I’ve seen the first two episodes of Shattered, I think I can safely say that this show is a drama far more than it’s a comedy.” Read more.

While this line of work is foreign to Bo, Will offers her an irresistible payment – information about where she might have come from. As Bo gets involved in the recovery of Will’s gems, she finds the shocking truth about the thief… and the weird and deadly forces that seem to also be on the trail of the jewels.
