The Border tonight

January 14, 2010 Diane Wild

From Denis McGrath of Dead Things on Sticks:

One More Border Run
“THE BORDER AIRS its 38th episode on CBC tonight at 9pm. Ã‚Â The third season finale is full of its own twists & turns, plenty of action & is rip-roaringly rendered by the same able hands who helmed the show’s pilot, John Fawcett. But the real cliffhanger is whether this will be the final adventure of Kessler & Co.” Read more.

From Myles McNutt of Cultural Learnings:

Republic of Doyle Ã¢â‚¬â€œ “The Return of the GrievousÃ‚Â Angel”
“This story was every procedural cliche crammed into a single episode, and the few times it felt like it had time to breathe it was still moving very slowly (or very oddly) in getting its characters established. And the case could have happened in any location, and felt only tangentially related to Newfoundland or even Canada for that matter.” Read more.
