Season 2
Does anyone know if this scored a season 2? I really like it. The character development was top notch and I haven't felt this invested in characters since the first season of Lost.
shareWe won't know unless Netflix announces it, Netflix keeps rating information to itself.
shareWasn't this picked up by Netflix for US distribution? I thought that this was airing on Canadian TV and Netflix just snapped it up? I watched the first 8? episodes online and I remember them having something like a channel stamp in one of the corners a la NBC or ABC. Either way, I really want this show to get a second season. The boards here don't seem to be kind to it and I'm wondering if I'm in the minority of those that look forward to this show.
shareAccording to Wiki:
The series is a co-production between Netflix and Showcase.
The boards here don't seem to be kind to itI thought so too during broadcast of the first episodes in October, but those that hated its eventually went away and the ones coming in after the worldwide Netflix release seem to want it to continue. I have read every entry for the last 11 weeks (yes I have too much time on my hands:) and am very encouraged by the general love for it, despite some reservations. So keeping my fingers crossed. share

Really? I think the viewers and board like it, the score here keep climbing steadily (now holds 8.0/10, high enough) and the comments are also mostly engage in real discussion. share
As I understand it, Show Case is BOTH a production company and a Canadian network. Owned by Simon Barry it's put out shows like Continuum and Lost Girl.
My guess would be that Netflix bought the rights to air it in the US and it airs in CA just like any other network show. Which means the decision for renewal starts with ShowCase. Unlike the US, Canadian TV in general and Simon Barry in particular like to give their shows an actual shot at succeeding. Which would make renewal more likely. On the other hand, Netflix has actually been known to SAVE other shows from cancellation (Longmire is only one example) so it could really go in either direction. But if I were to gamble, I'd go with a second season.
But the way, it's genuinely refreshing to actually be able to respond to a post. The level of vitriol and viciousness I've been observing all over these boards has truly made me wonder if it's worth coming back to at all.

Yeah Fox.... (clueless me) I did some homework. Which was naturally done AFTER I opened my big fat mouth; and found out that they may in fact be two people. On the other hand, Continuum got more than one extra season after it's 3rd which were all kind of a gift to the fans. So I have some faith in either and/or both "Barrys" (or Barrys squared as I like to think of them) to give the show some staying power.
Of course, none of this serves as any kind of proof whatsoever that I am not some kind of crazy person haunting these boards whilst trying to escape the guys in white coats!

There are lots of trolls prowling these boards. Just remember, even if one of them rips into you it isn't personal, they're trying to make you lose it and start an argument. That's why the old saying "Don't feed the Trolls". Simply engaging gives them exactly what they want. Think of trolls as bratty little kids who want attention and will get it any way they can. They don't tend to be the sharpest tools in the shed, so negative attention is much easier.
All those people with nasty things to say who never give good reasons and respond to disagreement with personal attacks, insulting other users, they're trying to disrupt the board. Every time they turn another thread into a big back and forth verbal melee that leaves the original topic far behind, that's another notch in their belt. Don't let this stuff discourage you. And no matter how much those morons piss you off, don't feed them by replying. Water your ignore list instead.
