This is a great show, very complex plotting, great writing and acting. For some reason, no-one seems to know about it, which is a great pity. It's gritty and compelling.

Brilliant. It's, literally, a Canadian "Wire," as the use of wires is prominent, and, like The Wire, it blurs the line between law enforcement and criminals. In fact, it does so much more than The Wire does. Super complex and fascinating. Great use of racial diversity.

Superbly acted and written, "Intelligence" deserves far more attention than it appears to have gotten. Netflix suggested it, and I'm grateful indeed. It's a little like "The Sopranos," a little like "The Wire," a little like "24," and a lot original. Wish there were more than two seasons.

Probably the most grittiest serial I've seen come from Canada. It's no 'The Wire,' nevertheless the writing is still pretty good. Some of the supporting characters seem borderline cliche, but never go over the edge. Some of the internal government politics drag out a bit into the season 2,Probably the most grittiest serial I've seen come from Canada. It's no 'The Wire,' nevertheless the writing is still pretty good. Some of the supporting characters seem borderline cliche, but never go over the edge. Some of the internal government politics drag out a bit into the season 2, but they clean up nicely. Makes the Canadian Intelligence community look pretty ragged, but it's nice to see some grit from Canada.… Expand
