Hi!
I'm hoping to find some good Canadian tv series. I just watched the first ep of Continuum and realised that that's the first Canadian tv series I've ever watched and I should correct that
I'm a huge fan of Leverage, Castle, The Mentalist, Sherlock (2010), Burn Notice, Lost, Person Of Interest, Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory so I'm hoping to find something similar to these. But I'm also very open-minded so just drop some names and tell me why they are good
So what do you watch?
Thanks!

DaVinci's Inquest was a Canadian crime show. Takes place in British Colombia. DaVinci was a coroner who solved crimes, sort of a Quincy without the gore. I think it's off the air now but maybe you can find it on DVD.

Unless I'm mistaken, Flashpoint is Canadian. I'm pretty sure they are all reruns now, but I really liked it for awhile. I loved the cast and characters. It does, I must say become same ole same ole after awhile. But until you get to that point, it's a really cool show.
I would recommend Orphan Black. I would say it's semi sy-fi. It's on BBC (Sat. at 9:00 pm). I am not normally a big fan of BBC because of the heavy accents (hard for me to understand). But I gave this one a chance and am really glad I did! I'm not normally a big sy-fi fan either. This one isn't what one would expect if you just sit down and watch it.
It moves pretty fast, not boring. You just might like it! -

I just happened to come across an EXCELLENT Canadian crime series called "Intelligence". I watched all the episodes over the long weekend.
It is a continuing story about drug dealers and the organized crime unit but there are so many players and so many angles it shows the story from. I thought it was fascinating. It reminded me of The Wire.
I HIGHLY recommend it. -

You might want to check out Cracked - It's had one season so far and has been picked up for a second season. It stars the the guy who played Christopher on Gilmore Girls. He's a cop who is suffering from ptsd after a hostage situation gone wrong, who is transfered to a newly created department that pairs cops with pscologists/phsyc nurses to deal with crimes that involve people with mental health issues.

When it first came out I was hooked. They stopped it after two seasons and never said why, although many have said that the series hit too close to home. Excellent binge material as it is only 2 seasons.
