In the news: Degrassi star talks about finale

From CTV:

  • Degrassi star weights in on shocking finale
    “In typical “Degrassi” fashion, the two-part season finale is going somewhere the series has never been before – onto the stage of a sleazy downtown strip club. The controversial episode, called “Don’t You Want Me,” follows Alex (Deanna Casaluce) who takes a job as a waitress at a “gentleman’s club” in order to make ends meet and help her mother pay the rent.”

Critics love Durham County

From Marise Strauss of Playback:

  • Critics cheer Durham debut
    “The buzz about Durham County has been sudden and very positive. “Visually sumptuous and adult,” decreed John Doyle in Friday’s Globe and Mail, throwing in “grim,” “compelling” and “deeply disquieting” for good measure. Its “complex characters are painted in subtle shades of grey,” says Rob Salem at the Toronto Star, and, according to blogger and Blood Ties writer Denis McGrath, it is “maybe the best drama series Canada has ever produced” in English.”

Durham County ‘eerie’

From Blogcritics:

  • TV Review: Durham County
    “Durham County, a new original series from The Movie Network (eastern Canada) and Movie Central (western Canada), is creepy, eerie, disturbing, dark. And I mean all that as a compliment. There is a definite style and sense of place in Durham County, though it’s not any place I recognize or am eager to visit.”
