| Caught this one late at night, channel surfing. CSI meets The Wire sort of thing, but with real depth to the characters. Produced (it appears) in Canada. Just terrific script and photography! Even if the acting is a little over-the-top by the lead -- he gets away with it for me because of the sort of Cohen brothers surrealist feel his oversized character has. Quirky, but not a silly like what-his-name on 'Law and Order: Criminal Intent', or God-like as per Howdy-Doody on CSI Miami. Unlike those two, and 'Homicide' before them, the nifty camera work and editing never gets distracting.According to Google, it runs on WGN -- anyone know the regular schedule day and time if there is one? Comments? |

| For quite some time now I have noticed it on the cable guide. I always pass it up too. I don't really like CSI so I think I'll give it a try. Thanks. |

| Da Vinci's Inquest is a Canadian dramatic television series that aired on the CBC from 1998 to 2005. Seven seasons of thirteen episodes each were filmed for a total of ninety-one episodes.The show, set and filmed in Vancouver, stars Nicholas Campbell as Dominic Da Vinci, once an undercover officer for the RCMP, but now a crusading coroner who seeks justice in the cases he investigates.Da Vinci's Inquest was based partly on the real life experiences of Larry Campbell, the former chief coroner of Vancouver, British Columbia, who was elected mayor of that city in 2002. It is also similar to such earlier series as Wojeck and the American Quincy, M.E. insofar as the program revolves around a coroner who investigates unusual cases. However, its complex plots, along with the realistic character development and somber style of the show, make it more similar to Steven Bochco's productions, especially the hit drama NYPD Blue. |
