Robert Lloyd

Season 1 Review: The series is as good as it needs to be, and maybe a little better. Like other Canadian dramas that have made their way south across the 49th parallel, it is attractively modest in ambition and execution, without feeling cheap or flimsy. Many of the elements in the story are familiar, which is not the least attraction of this summer entertainment, the narrative version of a beach read. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The subtleties in [Kristin Kreuk's] performance help fill in the gaps in scripts that at times range from flat to merely functional. Burden of Truth, which has already been renewed in Canada, is a show by and for adults looking for something a little challenging. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A compelling medical mystery makes up for tepid small town intrigue. [20/27 Jul 2018, p.97]

Season 1 Review: Protective town officials, ostracism and an increasingly divided community serve as appendages in a multi-layered whodunit/coverup with enough pulling power to endure for the rest of this summer and early fall. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The mystery serves as rope, pulling us through the reunions and confessions. Mooney is pretty stiff in the pilot; Nicola Correia-Damude could be the oracle as Hanley’s would-be friend. The most refreshing aspect of Truth is its open embrace of Canada. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Casting Ms. Kreuk as an anti-hero would be a unique twist but Burden quickly undoes that, settling for the more pedestrian idea of Joanna crusading for the little guy while also, thankfully, voiding the notion that the show is pro anti-vaxxer. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A so-so character-driven legal drama with just enough on its mind to carry my interest across the four episodes sent to critics. Read full review

Just love how the story fall into place. Please let there be a season 4! All three seasons were something original and not like other series that just rewrite a previous story
