Toda la verdad

This is a legal show with a personal touch with difficult themes such as betrayal, loss and abuse but not presented in too heavy a way.

I find the over emotive behaviour that occasionally arise irritating but otherwise an easy to connect with and very watchable series.

Took a couple of episodes to get into it but once I was I enjoyed the series. It was like reading a book that you really get into. It is a mystery about how the girls acquired their strange symptoms, then secrets from the past become uncovered and the characters become real with relationships and emotions. There is a strong cast with great acting. Eagerly anticipating the next episodes!!

Pleasantly surprised by this one and can't wait for the fourth season.

The plot with the sick girls is only the first season. The main characters, location, and much of the supporting cast doesn't change though as the lawyers continue to tackle emotionally and legally challenging cases. I wasn't sure I would like it even after the first episode but I've grown to love watching these characters fight for justice in this unjust world. They're interesting and real. The acting is great. I can barely look away from the screen.

But one of my favorite things is the season finales. There's no big cliffhangers or a bucket full of unanswered questions. It wraps everything up. There's always room to continue the story and stay interested in the next season but you don't have to wait a year to finish the main storylines. And, if it doesn't get another season, the end of the previous one feels like a good end to the story. It's satisfying and much less frustrating than most. They did a wonderful job.

It would have been nice if there were more episodes in a season though. I feel like they could have explored more of the side characters if they'd had more time to do so, especially in the first season. Instead, there's a lot of important characters to the cases that barely get five minutes of screen time.

The second season started slow and took a while to get to the point but the third season was better. There's some writing issues and some lose ends that just don't seem to have time to get tied up. But, overall, it's one of my new favorite shows and I will be eagerly awaiting season 4.

For being filmed in small town Manitoba and using many locals for numerous roles; it is surprisingly well done.

Great story and even touches on some taboo topics to do with white vs indigenous history in Canadian Prairies

I don't watch a lot of television, but I was hooked on this show from the beginning. First of all it is Canadian, and it deals with many issues that face us all on a day to day basis. The central theme of our environment being poisoned is very important. Every day some new toxin enters our water supply. Our governments seem powerless to deal with these issues, although they are starting. The series has aspects that appeal to both young people and the older generation. The Millwood teens look forward to university careers in the big city, but tragedy intervenes. They each deal with their issues differently. Being a small town, we see all sorts of social interactions and problems brought out into the light of day. I thought the acting was really sincere and the writing excellent. The final episode is very cathartic, Joanna's dad is a type of lawyer that gives the profession a bad name, and that's putting it mildly.
