[CBC] 'Allegiance' (2024) - I've been watching through this show, and I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I like it so far (gem.cbc.ca)

I tend to avoid the network TV / procedural style shows. I gave this one a try because it was made by CBC and set in Greater Vancouver (Surrey). Nothing is ever set here lol

It's decent, and it touches on more complex topics (ex. harm reduction) fairly well. It also doesn't rely on relationship drama (as of episode 4), which I appreciate.

I'd give it an 7.5/10 so far. I assume the low ratings on IMDB are because of some review bombing

agreed on all points, i dig it, it's got a bit more bite and sass to it than most canadian shows i've sampled, and i found myself looking forward to each new weeks episode. also liked jus reigns Late Bloomer, and am looking forward to it's second season too.
