It is hard for 'smaller' TV stations to get on the global TV series map, but Canadian TV has been having a good stab it for a few years, 19-2 brings home the hard fought efforts!

Just a joy to watch, yet not action packed in every episode, instead it gradually draws you in, like a family history that you never knew about but gives you more interest as more information is established! That's exactly what 19-2 is, it takes it's time, weaves a web of many different stories, doesn't tempt you for more too soon, just leaves you waiting for the next install/thrillment and never gets involved in silly sub plots outside of the 'family'! And all in 40-ish minutes per episode. That doesn't mean you wont bond with the characters, it just means it has limits and lets you decide the rest for yourself.

If you don't love the series after the first season, you don't know good TV, if you don't love it after episode 1 of season 2, you're not watching the right TV for your mind! One of the best made dramas on TV!
