This Canadian show was obviously the blueprint for the current American show Cold Case--they've even borrowed from the theme song. Cold Case is good, but Cold Squad is great--the acting, the writing, the stories. Don't miss this taut, intense show.

Cold Squad is in my humble opinion one of the two best TV crime series ever aired -- the other, also set in Vancouver, is DaVinci's Inquest. Each episode of each is the quivalent of a superior, in-the-theaters, movie -- but in less than an hour. It is incredible to me that all the episodes of each are not available on DVD. These two series -- together with NCIS, Criminal Minds, and NUMB3RS -- constitute a Golden Age of television drama.

I also found CS on the sleuth channel...& I fell in love with it...I was very disappointed when it was cancelled...I don't watch that much TV,but I really miss this show(the current show doesn't even come close to replacing it,I couldn't even get past 30 minutes of the first episode,& haven't watched any sense)...Too bad they only sell one season...I especially like Julie Stewart...I hope somewhere in the future ALL the episodes will be for sale,THEY ARE DEFINTELY WORTH IT!!!!!I have bought my first season***

I caught this on the Sleuth channel. It is one of the best shows I have ever seen. I think Cold Case is a poor imitation of it. What a shame it is not more available on TV and on DVD. Luckily, I have it DVR'd and plan on putting it on DVD. Excellent show, excellent actors!

I love this show. We decided not to get cable or satellite at our 2nd home in Idaho and I found that PBS had pretty much the only intelligent viewing available. This series is one of my favorites. Good stories, well acted with good characters. I highly recommend it.

I first became award of this show when Peter Wingfield ("Highlander") was in a season. A listsib from Canada offered to video the show for me. I was hooked. Even though Wingfield left after a season + one episode I had my friend continue to record it for me for the next season. I then found Season One on DVD and another listsib in Canada taped second season for me from a Canadian cable station in syndication. Finally got to see most of the remaining episodes when it showed up on one of the cable stations - Sleuth, I think. I really miss the show and don't know why Sleuth stopped showing it.
