Modelled somewhat after the flamboyant Chief Coroner of Toronto in the 60's Dr. Morton Shulman, Wojeck delivers a no nonsense look at the job, the politics, the effect of the job on relationships and the mood of the times. John Vernon was never better and his performance in this series belies his comedic take in Animal House, this guy can act. Great support from a host of Canadian and American actors and good writing. Might seem a little dated for the genre by todays standards however worth a look if you can catch it. Followed on the CBC by Quentin Jergens M.P. starring Gordon Pinsent (father of Leah) also worth a look.
