New tonight: Republic of Doyle on CBC – “He Sleeps With the Chips”

When a dubious chip truck owner notices his truck is missing — along with his driver/best buddy — he cons Jake into taking the case; Martin really crosses a line with Rose and she takes matters into her own hands; and Jake’s divorce becomes final and he’s happy to tell Leslie that he’s now a free-agent. But Leslie’s just been bumped up the ladder with a promotion to Sergeant, and her eye is on the job, not Jake Doyle.

Review: The Bridge first ‘right-wing pro-union show’

From Robert Cushman of the National Post:

  • To serve and protect the police
    “‘Together’ says Frank Leo, newly elected president of the police union, ‘we own this city.’ The city is unnamed, but looks very much like Toronto; and when Frank says ‘we,’ he appears to mean not the population at large but just him and his fellow cops. It is not a very reassuring message; but The Bridge, the new CTV drama series of which Frank is the central figure, seems disinclined to question it. It may be the first ever right-wing pro-union show. That’s probably the newest thing about it.” Read more.

His latest project – ejecting the Muslims from the church for once and for all. And he has a particular need to compete with the charming young Muslim Imam Aamar.” Read more.
