From Alex Strachan of Canwest News Service:

• The Guard is about what happens when the heroes get home
  “The Guard’s new season opens with a Coast Guard cutter happening on a seemingly abandoned fishing sloop in a coastal B.C. cove. The plot is something about a human trafficking operation and a leaky rust bucket that may have guns aboard — and quickly delves into the usual TV backstories of romantic entanglements and marriages on the rocks.” Read more.

From Randy Shore of Canada.com:

• The Guard returns with ‘sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll’
  “It’s just a few miles from 21 Jump Street to Port Hallet, the fictional B.C. town at the centre of the action in the Canadian TV drama The Guard. But it took Steve Bacic 17 years to get from his guest-star role on the Vancouver set of the teen cop drama to Port Hallet, better known as Squamish, B.C.” Read more.
