Brendan Kelly of the Montreal Gazette profiles Durham County creator Laurie Finstad Knizhnik:

• A bright side to the dark side
  “Durham County has garnered rave reviews from TV critics across the country. The gritty drama will make the segue to non-pay-TV next year when it airs on Global, and there is talk that the producers might shoot another six episodes next year. Finstad Knizhnik is also preparing to write a novel focusing on the same characters.”

From the Movie Network:

From Chart Attack:

• Hugh Dillon hopes for a hit with Durham County
  “Hugh Dillon describes his new series, Durham County, as ‘a gift to Canadian television.’ And he’s not exaggerating.”

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.”
