That means, when that famous \u201cdun-dun\u201d opens the series on Feb. 22 via Citytv, the pressure is on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It\u2019s notoriously hard to get a show greenlit in Canada. Funding challenges, market size and competition from U.S. acquisitions mean few, if any, Canadian series debut on the Big 3 commercial networks (CTV, Global and Citytv) each season. Even public broadcaster CBC, which boasts the highest number of originals on a major network, still relies on acquisitions to fill out its primetime programming grid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Figuring out how to make noise with a new series in a crowded landscape isn\u2019t a uniquely Canadian challenge, but there are more hurdles here. That\u2019s why from the beginning, a Canadian adaptation of \u201cCriminal Intent\u201d felt like a win \u2014 at least from a viewership and marketing standpoint. It\u2019s a recognizable franchise with a built-in fanbase and a solid formula. Rogers Sports &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> is also debuting the series on Citytv immediately following a new episode of NBC\u2019s \u201cLaw &amp; Order,\u201d and right before new installments of that U.S. network\u2019s \u201cLaw &amp; Order: SVU\u201d and \u201cLaw &amp; Order: Organized Crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In other words, it\u2019s teed up for a massive showing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The creative aspect of \u201cLaw &amp; Order Toronto: Criminal Intent\u201d is what the industry should really be excited about, though. When adapting an international franchise for a Canadian market, the biggest challenge is typically figuring out how to make it Canadian, and doing that on a fraction of the budget. That\u2019s why, for example, \u201cThe Amazing Race Canada\u201d spent its first season only <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ing across Canada, or why \u201cBig Brother Canada\u201d has a smaller prize and bigger obstacles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cLaw &amp; Order Toronto: Criminal Intent\u201d is uniquely Canadian in that it takes place in Toronto, but that\u2019s just the beginning. The goal of the show is to present original Canadian stories written, produced and starring Canadians, with plots that feel ripped from national headlines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    That\u2019s evident in the premiere, \u201cThe Key to the Castle,\u201d in which a crypto investor dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears off the side of a private yacht and into Lake Ontario. Following his death, $300 million is locked up and lost without a passcode. Although the series comes with the typical disclaimer that any similarities to real people are coincidental, the case calls to mind the Quadriga story and the December 2018 death of its CEO, Gerald Cotten.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    More importantly, the premiere introduces audiences to the new crime-solving team tasked with selling these cases. Aden Young (\u201cRectify\u201d) tackles the role of Det. Sgt. Henry Graff, while Kathleen Munroe plays Det. Sgt. Frankie Bateman. Together they have an easy chemistry, with the worldly-but-quirky Graff spouting infinite knowledge in his thick Canadian accent and the more relatable Bateman translating on his behalf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    At the station, they\u2019re joined by Inspector Vivienne Holness, played by \u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek\u201d star and prolific Canadian actor Karen Robinson. Her nonsense-free, blunt delivery adds a bit of fun against Graff\u2019s genius and it\u2019s apparent why the writers wrote the role with her in mind. Then there\u2019s K.C. Collins (\u201cSaving Hope,\u201d \u201cLost Girl\u201d) as Deputy Crown Attorney Theo Forrester. Although he has few scenes in the first episode, his easy charisma leaves you wanting more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It\u2019s a solid hour that sticks to franchise staples, investigating a case from death-to-confession while inspecting it from both the detectives and the suspects\u2019 points of view. That doesn\u2019t leave much room for serialized storylines, but there are hints of character development early on \u2014 such as the reveal that Bateman is a single mom and perhaps a romantic at heart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The scenes are quick and there are plenty of outdoor shots that showcase Toronto and its nooks and crannies, adding to the overall Canadian feel. The hefty walk-and-talks are another signature franchise addition, though they feel more like a bouncy jog for poor Munroe, who is significantly shorter than her male co-stars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It all adds up to a promising start with big opportunities for Canadian actors in the months to come. Much like how the New York series are able to draw from that city\u2019s roster of emerging actors and its theatre crowd, \u201cLaw &amp; Order Toronto: Criminal Intent\u201d has a large pool of Canadian actors and a thriving local theatre community to cast from.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Finding the right talent and selecting the most engaging stories will be the key to this show\u2019s success as it continues. Only the first episode was available to screen before debut, so it\u2019s hard to predict how things will go from here. But at the very least, there were multiple twists and a quick pace that kept Episode 1 engaging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Having showrunner Tassie Cameron at the helm is also promising. The creative has spent years crafting Canadian law enforcement stories on series like \u201cRookie Blue,\u201d \u201cPrivate Eyes,\u201d \u201cFlashpoint,\u201d \u201cMary Kills People\u201d and most recently, \u201cPretty Hard Cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Here, she writes and executive produces with her sister, award-winning journalist Amy Cameron, under their banner Cameron Pictures. It\u2019s worth noting that the sisters\u2019 mother, Stevie Cameron, is an acclaimed Canadian investigative journalist who has dug into notable crimes for years. Translation? Creating a show like \u201cCriminal Intent,\u201d even with the format restrictions, seems baked into the sisters\u2019 DNA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Although the series has yet to announce any international or American broadcast partners, the most unique concept behind the show could be its biggest selling point. Unlike other adaptations of the \u201cLaw &amp; Order\u201d franchise, these are original stories and scripts that don\u2019t use anything from the mothership other than the format itself. That may make it an appealing purchase for the growing global TV market, where uniquely Canadian stories like \u201cLetterkenny,\u201d \u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek\u201d and \u201cKim\u2019s Convenience\u201d have hit with viewers in big ways.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    At the very least, \u201cLaw &amp; Order Toronto: Criminal Intent\u201d is a show that Canadians at home and in the business can get excited about. The elements are there, now it\u2019s time to settle back and see if this team has managed to crack the Successful Canadian TV case. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    <em>\u201cLaw &amp; Order Toronto: Criminal Intent\u201d debuts Thursday, Feb. 22 on Citytv, Citytv.com and Citytv+.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
