New year, new show to binge?
A highly anticipated crime show spinoff set in Toronto revealed its official release date as well as a sneak peek.
Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent had a lot of people talking over the summer and now there’s a teaser to get you even more amped up.
CityTV dropped the official release date of the show’s pilot on Monday which is slated for Feb. 22.
The adaptation of the legendary Law & Order brand will follow an elite squad of detectives who investigate high-profile crime and corruption in and around the city.
However, when the show was first announced people didn’t seem as excited.
“I can’t wait for the episode where they chase a guy down for eating a Shawarma while talking on his cellphone on the Gardiner Expressway,” one Twitter user wrote.
“Wouldn’t the Toronto version just be the cops catching the exact same criminals every week? Or would it be trying to make our justice system look like less of a joke?” another said.
But following the first look, plus the cast and character reveal, people are seemingly more optimistic and supportive.
“So excited for this!,” one Instagram user commented.
“Wow! Just saw this! Looks really good,” another user wrote.
