Pluskylang Great Film overall

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Brycemesser Ms. Kreuk could read the phone book and still find a way to give it depth and power. Thankfully Burden of Truth gives her more compelling material, though sometimes only slightly. The major downside of this series is that the story has been done many times before, big-city lawyer goes back to her small town and ends up getting wrapped into a mystery and staying. It's the plot of two dozen Hallmark movies and each time pretty much feels the same. The saving grace of the series is that the writing can pretty good, even if it's a play on old themes, and is performed to perfection by the cast. Ms. Kreuk consistently delivers incomparable performances in anything she's in, and Burden of Truth is no different. The show is easily worth watching for her alone.

kristomluver Okay, I am a HUGE KK fan. I have watched all her stuff and that is why I had to check out Burden Of Truth. When I read the description and heard the creators comparing it to Erin Brockovich, I was super pumped to see this because I loved that movie. Season 1 is not a high octane thrill ride. It's more of a stroll down the parkway with some mysteries along the way. It takes it's time, BUT, give the material, I think it was quite appropriate in doing so. There are some odd story lines that weren't needed or weren't properly inserted into the show, but it still delivered entertainment wise. As the lead, Kristin holds her own, and Peter Mooney is a fantastic co-star! The two play wonderfully off each other. Supporting cast rounds out the body of the show quite nicely. Would I recommend Burden? ....I sure would! Some writing issues, but overall, the story was interesting, acting was on point and the cinematography was absolutely wonderful!I am very excited for Season 2!

arminkastner I can't believe I wasted an hour watching this show, but it was Canadian and I thought it would get better. Is this the sort of thing we can expect form the CBC for Canadian content? Is the CBC getting too much of our tax dollars with what the Liberals are giving them and they are wasting it on this type of production. The concept would be good IF they had better writers AND better actors.

phd_travel Just watched the first episode and it's interesting without exaggerated sensationalism, well paced and well acted.Kristin Kreuk is a convincing as a big city corporate lawyer who is by the end of the first episode taking on a mystery illness affecting teenage girls in her small town home town. At first she seems to be on the bad side as she is representing the vaccine maker. But when it turns out one girl gets sick and didn't get the vaccine she is off the hook but decides to help an old friend and possible love interest find the cause of the mystery illness.It's nice to watch a legal based drama that isn't too far out.
