In the news: Durham County’s Montreal roots

1 Comment

From the Montreal Gazette:

  • Good cop, bon cast and crew: It’s set in Ontario, but Movie Network’s Durham County is a Montreal affair
    “As the title suggests, Durham County is set in the region of the same name just east of Toronto. But this dark six-part series about a troubled cop hunting a serial killer, which premieres on The Movie Network on May 7, is actually a Montreal-shot production full of local connections.”

In the news: More drama, not celebrities

From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:

  • We need more hit Canadian drama, not more E! channels
    One thing that needs to happen is this – the creation of a hit one-hour drama on CBC, CTV or Global that pulls in close to a million viewers a week. We need another Due South or Street Legal, a show that has a mass appeal and a million viewers. Without that, Canadian-made TV will always be perceived as in the weaker position, looking inept. The last thing the Canadian TV networks and the watching Canadian audience need is more air-headed coverage of American celebrities.

In the news: Durham County’s two leads

From Rob Salem of the Toronto Star:

  • Two of a kind
    “Hugh Dillon, the musician/actor who so memorably blew movie audiences out of their seats in Bruce McDonald’s Hard Core Logo, dials it all the way down to simmer as Durham’s Mike Sweeney. He’s a hard-boiled homicide detective with issues driving him back to the old neighbourhood: a sterile suburban enclave surrounded by ominous, omnipresent electrical towers. There he re-encounters Ray Prager, his one-time best pal, as vividly and kinetically embodied by Justin Louis, the veteran Canadian character actor (Missing, Hidden Hills, Urban Angel). Prager has issues of his own, not the least of which is that he has recently become a copycat serial killer.”
