Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

MichaelJohnBurlingham "Intelligence" is good enough, if you've got nothing better to watch. It's generally well acted. And it's about an organized crime unit and the national spy service, and the way those outfits interact with the criminal underworld, specifically by trying to get the upper hand through surveillance and confidential informants. And it's Canadian, which is partly why I watched it to its (unsatisfying) second-season conclusion. In this world, apparently, everything works and no one gets hurt (well, almost no one). The show consists of a never-ending series of meetings, (nothing else will do) and is accompanied by a dreary soundtrack that's plastered over the scenes even when something is being said that might be of interest. Someone decided that the sitar would add a nice touch. These meetings occur with the brisk efficiency of what one might expect from a Fortune 500 company. Remember, everything works, even when everyone is conspiring against everyone else. And when it's time to off someone, we do not see it happen and are left to deduce that it did, in fact, happen. The antihero is engaged in dealing only weed and trying to launder his profits, and he always prefers to work things out rather than take revenge. The exhausting pace is due to there being at least two subplots too many, and the relentless cross-cutting between them. Never are we allowed to see any scene through to its conclusion. Instead, you'll get conversations recapping what has just occurred. But, hey, it's Canadian. WTF!

Donald Buehler Some time back I stumbled on a British Colombia TV show called Intelligence - it is a serial crime drama about a Canadian drug lord – Jimmy Reardon (played terrifically by Ian Tracey) - and his dealing with the Organized Crime Unit (OCU) in Canada. The relationships among Jimmy's family are very interesting (crazy brother Mike - out of control ex-wife Francine) but the relationships – back stabbing – double dealing – lying – threats among the OCU – the CSIS – another Canadian crime fighting unit – the US DEA and FBI – are absolutely delicious. This show ran from 2006 – 2007 – unfortunately there are only 24 episodes – when the CBC Television (total idiots) cancelled the show.I rank it above the Sopranos and Deadwood – two of my all time favorites. The only difficulty (at least in the first few sessions) is figuring out what they are doing – there is a lingo which is unique to the world of crime fighters and drug lords and it takes a while to get used to it. But once you get into this, if you are like me – you will be sucked in. If you have Netflix - you can watch it on streaming videos. If you don't love this show there is seriously something wrong with you. (just kidding – I get a little carried away).Take care DonB

poe_diddley i have fallen for this show quite hard. it has all the elements i love, with a cast that i've grown fond of. i believe this show could do well in the US, and in the news it seems that it will have it's chance. i just hope that it keeps the same cast and crew. after watching two seasons, i also can't imagine it set in any place but Vancouver, so i also hope that is kept as well. everyone has heard CIA, FBI, DEA, and similar stories of US agencies a million times over in the various crime drama shows on the air. part of what i liked about this show is that the Canadian Intelligence does some things a bit differently, and it's interesting to see what their forces are like, even if it is just fiction. Basically, I hope FOX doesn't change a thing besides giving the producers more $ to spend on the show, and obviously more exposure. keeping my fingers crossed.....

bengleson There are very few truly alternative universes created for television. INTELLIGENCE weaves a complex, crime ridden solar system unlike any other I have ever viewed. There are palpable layers within layers, shapes and spheres within the dark inner sanctum of international intrigue, drug trafficking, prostitution and ***spoiler alert*** bulk water sales. You are irresistibly compelled to root for the ethical, misunderstood crook and the incredibly unethical lady crime fighter. The shadows are totally noir; the emotions raw and riveting. I understand some USA ripoff of intelligence is being considered, This would be a creative disaster. There is only one higher INTELLIGENCE.
