Series is about a cop from London that movies to a small Canadian town to work as police chief and give his family a better life. Tim Roth is a good actor , and supporting cast seemed competent.
Plot unfolded as evil corp oil company built a refinery and good guy /bad guy David and Goliath story well set. Then Tim Roth gets punched by a local crazy, and he doesn't want to pull a gun on said local because he is English. Instead , he kicks him in the balls, which I think is an amoral act. The certain extreme pain, as well as the d substantial risk of a testicular hematoma or rupture is worse than arresting someone at trained professional gunpoint, so any film that portrays this for a vulgar laugh gets one star in my book. A film biz that will more freely show men kicked in the testicles with a hard boot than nudity is sick. Roth also repeatedly and smugly beats and tourchures men in the film in ridiculous ways.
Later in the series there is a lot of gratuitous violence again involving men getting kicked, punched , beaten and having guns pointed at their genitals. It could have been and good story and has some good acting, but the cheap shots just ruin it.
There is one sequence where the 16 year old daughter gets drunk and sneaks out nearly getting herself killed. Note all they do is blame the adults for not watchin her , a sad state of of cultural neurosis in our infotainment system.
