    KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
    Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
    Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
    Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
    geordiesdad This police drama started out quite well and the first 2 seasons were mostly well written and performed with one, unfortunate exception.....the main character....Da Vinci himself. For my taste his acting style is so wooden and uninspired that I expected to see him holding the script below him in some of the long shots. Almost painful to watch his overacting and over-emphasis of every single emotion,....happy...sad...angry....you name it...he gives us an overacting primer on it......'nuff said. The story moves along quite nicely with a 5 or 6 episode run featuring veteran actor Eric Peterson playing a bad guy.....nice shift and very well done. Unfortunately the writing becomes bloated at the end of season 2 and we see the usual, and predictable plots yanked out of the vault and sprayed about.....child molesting....always a favorite with over-reaching and over-reacting cops and coroners everywhere......what a mystery....will he be a REAL child molester or will we watch another sad epic about the presumptive attitude of police....YADDA...YADDA......boring and from now on it doesn't get any better. Mr John Clease said it best when he informed us that 2 series is about all any show can produce....despite the pressure of networks to give us more of the same....he, wisely, knew his limit. So, in summary.....2 seasons....good.......PASS on the other 5
    cfisanick-551-293544 I have been in law enforcement for over 30 years now. Only two shows really capture what it is really like: from the US, Homicide: Life on the Streets and the Canadian classic Da Vinci's Inquest. What sets this show apart from just about every other show is how true it is to real life. Life isn't always about good and bad; there are many shades of gray. Cases aren't always tied up in a neat bow. Good people have character flaws. Bad people are often good people with a single character flaw. Life goes on. I can't praise this show enough for realistic writing and acting. I think that I counted exactly one car chase in all the years that it was on--and it was a slow-paced car chase. The cops all smoked cigarettes and drank coffee out of Styrofoam cups. That may sound like a cliché, but I assure you, it's absolutely accurate. There were good cops, troubled cops, and bad cops. Justice didn't always prevail. Like the US show Homicide, I never considered this show as just a police procedural. It was a show about life.
    gkoda I have been a fan of all the CSI shows for awhile, but only recently discovered DaVinci's Inquest. After watching all the American shows in which the CSI teams trade cutesy one-liners while solving impossible crimes, it is really refreshing to see actors portray real people. DaVinci and his entire cast render a convincing picture of dedicated crime fighters and crime solvers who sometimes have to admit that they have no idea what's happening. It's also refreshing to see a cast of people who look like real people. While some of the girls are drop-dead gorgeous, most of the cast have a realistic appearance and even the gorgeous ones manage performances that make them seem genuine and not just some plastic-looking starlet types who walk and move like catalog models. DaVinci is outstanding ,and Leo is a great asset to the cast. I am completely hooked on this show, and I wish I could do something to assure that it will continue. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to let someone know how much I like it.
    rickrudge I am so happy to start seeing "The Da Vinci Inquest" here in the United States. WGN has started broadcasting episodes (sometimes three or four a day). I couldn't be happier. This series is so fresh and new compared to what else is out there. If you get a chance, please watch a couple of episodes.I get so tired of the US made TV shows, like "Law & Order" or the various, tired "CSI" shows. You can usually solve the mystery a quarter into the program. "DVI" shows compelling, lovable characters digging up clues and evidence. You easily like them and are rooting for their success.Filmed in Vancouver, BC (one of the most beautiful cities in this continent) the program is very noire-like. It doesn't necessarily glorify the city. Junkies look pretty lousy on this show and how the police treat them is a lot different than what you see in US shows (even like in Cops).I recommend to all of my fellow US viewers, to give this show a try. You will love it.
