Anyone that has any interest in this, don't even bother. I lasted about 5 minutes and had to turn it off. Typical Canadian production completely making us look like a bunch of fucking morons.

Tracking a Killer: The Cold Case of Elizabeth Bain
In June of 1990, 22-year-old University of Toronto student Elizabeth Bain disappeared. Her body has never been found, but police say it was a homicide. Elizabeth’s boyfriend Robert Baltovich was convicted of her murder. He spent eight years in prison before being deemed not guilty by the courts...

Well that’s harsh…the original is still the best but the Toronto one wasn’t bad.
I watched the entire episode.
The lead detectives played by Kathleen Munroe and Aden Young I'm buying. Thought they did a good job of selling the characters. I like Young from another series called ''Rectify'' some years ago.
Their boss portrayed by karen Robinson I'm not buying.
The plot and pacing was kind of okay but there was a fight scene or takedown by Young's character at the end that was very improbable too say the least.
Overall I'd give it a 6 out 10...I believe the chemistry is there from the leads to stick with it.
The new reboot of the original is very good. Not as good as former installments but still quality TV.

The new Law and Order is real good, not as good as the original but that's a tough act to follow.
I thought this was the worst part of it. These actors were terrible. Combine that with everything else you mentioned, it was unwatchable.
Pretty lame episode.
Wonder if any Blue Jays will make cameo appearances, since Rogers owns CITYTV and Jays.

I thought they said it was all fiction. At least that is what I saw at the start of L&O: Toronto
I watched the first episode with great anticipation. Shortly into it I was tempted to turn it off, but decided to stick with it.
In general it had "Canadian production values " all over it, the story was uninteresting, and I missed the usual Law & Order courtroom scenes. (Although they did show some lawyers outside the court building in their formal "English courtroom style" robes.)
By the end of the episode I was not at all impressed.
I'll probably watch the second episode to see if it improves.
Btw I was sad to see Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) retire from the basic Law & Order series. The episode gave him a great farewell courtroom scene though.

I won't even bother. Apparently the producers didn't bother to check how weak Canadian criminal laws are. Like what kind of drama can you get from a Canadian Law drama. A car theft ring goes to trial. Insurance fraud. Subway stabbing. We can't even name young offenders publicly.
The story was kinda lame and the 2 lead characters were boring. I prefer quirky characters like Columbo or Castle.... it was fun to see Toronto landmarks like Filmores but that won't keep me watching for long if the lameness continues.
I mean they even fucked up the intro song. Just stick with classic L&O intro song. There was no need to try and jazz it up a little.
Yes he's old, real old...he's 83 and he looks it, he speaks in a frail manner...he was best as the ADA taking on the cases.
