Description
Information is the most addictive drug of all. Winner of the Gemini for best drama and many other awards, this pulse-pounding series explores espionage in the international drug trade and beyond. The story centers around Jimmy Reardon (Ian Tracey), a Vancouver drug lord trying to go legit, and Mary Spalding (Klea Scott), the head of the Canadian intelligence service for the Pacific region. Although they work on opposite sides of the law, Reardon and Spalding form an uneasy undercover alliance to protect their turf from rivals inside and outside their organizations. All loyalties are negotiable in this high-stakes game, and the players use money, sex, drugs, and murder to secure the most powerful commodity of all--information. Combining the crime family drama of The Sopranos with the sophisticated intrigue of The Wire, this critically acclaimed series spins a dark, daringly complex narrative web that ranks it among television’s best. DVD FEATURES INCLUDE series creator Chris Haddock discussing Season 2, behind-the-scenes clips, Chris Haddock biography, character descriptions, cast filmographies, and more. |

Intelligents by Francis J. Stromski (Clallam County WA)  5 Stars
November 25, 2009
Intelligence is the best weekly TV show I have ever watched. Truly I think Intelligence is better than Prison Break or Lost.
My wife said I was addicted to the show but once she started watching from the beginning of the first season she found out why I was addicted. She too became an Intelligence Addict along with my sister who is now watching season 1 & 2.
Once ya start watching Intelligence it is tough to get to bed on time, it's late nights at the big screen till the end of season 2.
I sure hope they make a season 3.

WHY? WHY? WHY? by Shirley A. Mathis 5 Stars
October 19, 2009
I absolutely loved intelligence, just finished watching the final episode and was hoping my friend was just joking when he told me the show and been cancelled and this is it. Impossible, you must give the intelligence fans a better ending? Is Jimmy dead? will Katrina make it to Paris? What's going to happen to Mary? There are so many ways to go with this show PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T GO!!

Simply the best show on television? by J. Utterberg (Bloomington, MN USA) 5 Stars
September 29, 2009
"Intelligence" is a show by Chris Haddock, the same guy who brought us the equally obscure Da Vinci's Inquest. It's about the myriad characters in a Canadian Crime Intelligence unit and an organized crime family. The many stories, plots, and calamitous events just keep coming and intertwining into a dizzying mosaic of personal and professional disaster. The show hits the ground at a full run, challenging the viewer to keep up, and maintains that pace until it pours it on even more for the nail-biting season cliffhangers!

Intelligence Interruptus by Ocarolan (East Coast, USA)  4 Stars
May 24, 2009
This is an excellent series--well-written and acted, and smart--and well worth the investment. I give Season One five stars and Season Two four stars. The disparity is due to the ending of Season Two, which serves as the series' ending, as well, because a planned third season was cancelled. The cancellation of Season Three appears to have left the writers with too little time to provide satisfying resolutions of the series' story lines, and the ending feels facile and rushed.

Keeps one on toes! by Jews Harp Jack (Boise, ID) 5 Stars
May 22, 2009
I have only watched disc one and am in middle of disc two, but so far season two promises to be a good sequel to the first one. I am always curious to see how a drug dealer portrayed as a sort of sympathetic character gets his just desserts!
