Alicia I love this movie so much
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
dfn-29032 Really enjoyed the story-line. Looking forward to more episodes.
randy-28874 So, I watched the whole series. I waited when an episode didn't appear and found it the next week. Not only did the episodes drag on, but the series, by missing air dates, dragged it on too.I was expecting brilliance in the courtroom. Okay that didn't happen. Well then maybe romance par excellence, might be the theme. Well, no that didn't happen either. So what is this show?Well, it is about a lawyer we goes up against her dad's firm: a firm for which she worked, until she grew a conscience (maybe). She is suppose to be a brilliant lawyer, everyone said so. As a rule she just runs away, comes back, and gets blind sided by daddy at every turn. Then somehow, because daddy's past has people who hate him, they give the 'brilliant lawyer' evidence which daughter dearest uses to blackmail daddy into settling a case she couldn't win legitimately.Really? How repugnant can you get. She isn't a good lawyer, she isn't a good daughter, and she simply stumbles upon evidence which she uses to blackmail her dad so he will settle. I kept watching because I couldn't believe that her brilliance in court wouldn't shine through in the end. Shame on me. This is just a mediocre, badly written, drama about nothing, using the promise of a court battle to keep us from watching something else.
clarkj-565-161336 I don't watch a lot of television, but I was hooked on this show from the beginning. First of all it is Canadian, and it deals with many issues that face us all on a day to day basis. The central theme of our environment being poisoned is very important. Every day some new toxin enters our water supply. Our governments seem powerless to deal with these issues, although they are starting. The series has aspects that appeal to both young people and the older generation. The Millwood teens look forward to university careers in the big city, but tragedy intervenes. They each deal with their issues differently. Being a small town, we see all sorts of social interactions and problems brought out into the light of day. I thought the acting was really sincere and the writing excellent. The final episode is very cathartic, Joanna's dad is a type of lawyer that gives the profession a bad name, and that's putting it mildly.
zorro6204 All the victims are young high school girls with great hair, and the "twitching" allows them to toss it around in a most fetching manner. The brave young female attorney returning to her roots to fight big business blah blah blah, also has great hair.That's about it, and it gets old about episode four. The acting is horrible, the story glacial and completely ridiculous. If anything like this really happened, the press would descend on this town like a storm. There would be federals all over the place, commissions, investigations. But why I am wasting your time explaining why it's so stupid? Ten minutes of this drek will convince you of that, great hair aside.
