19-2, Series 1-4

"Smart... character-driven drama" - The Huffington Post

"Gritty cop drama" - The Hollywood Reporter

This richly-nuanced character-driven drama revolves around the lives of two unwilling partners in the Montreal Police Department: officers Nick Barron (Adrian Holmes, Arrow, V-Wars) and Ben Chartier (Jared Keeso, Letterkenny, Falling Skies) who patrol the urban sprawl of downtown's 19th Precinct in Cruiser No. 2. 19-2 is about the tensions and bonds that develop between two incompatible men of very different temperaments and life experiences. Over time, Nick and Ben's mistrust and antagonism for each other give way to moments of mutual respect and a wavering chance at a true partnership. As the series progresses, we also come to know the tightly knit squad of Precinct 19: their friendship and enmity, loyalty and betrayal. The series portrays the unpredictability and fragility of the world of a beat cop through moments of life-threatening intensity, both on and off duty, cementing 19-2 as a powerful character study and a gripping police drama.
