Critic Reviews

Gail Pennington

Season 1 Review: The town of Algonquin Bay has secrets. Bad things happen in the long winter darkness, filled with predators, drugs and violence. All this, and Campbell’s outstanding performance, add up to a drama that stands with the best of TV noir. Read full review

Season 4 Review: It is slow without being frustrating or dull, thoughtful without being ponderous or pretentious. It has a further advantage of basically adhering to a known formula while sitting slightly at odds with it. Read full review

Season 4 Review: Let's just say it gets darker. Good, though, isn't it? Talk about revenge being a dish best served cold. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The jousting and bonding between the senior Anglo investigator and his younger French-Canadian partner gives Cardinal emotional depth. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Torture aside, it’s a consistently intriguing thriller, its appeal ensured by the bone-chilling glories of the scenery. Read full review

Season 1 Review: I found the crimes too similar to a dozen recent TV whodunits, and Campbell’s solemn croak an irritating affectation. Read full review

Season 4 Review: The whole thing was so chilly that it left me craving a show that is the absolute opposite of this in every way. Read full review

Love the 6 episode seasons, tight, no boredom. Chemistry between two leads perfect. Unusually good photography direction. Better than any broadcast TV cop show and holds its own with cable/streaming products. Only thing is, all these shows set in small Canadian cities - Carter also set inLove the 6 episode seasons, tight, no boredom. Chemistry between two leads perfect.

Only thing is, all these shows set in small Canadian cities - Carter also set in North Bay, Hudson and Rex in St Johns- number of murders getting close to Toronto levels:)… Expand
