I really hope it airs here.
ReplyDeletewhat network is showing this?
ReplyDeleteI don't have high hopes for this show, but I want to give it a chance nonetheless! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope we get it here,Tariqq i'm jealous! :)
ReplyDeleteShowcase. It's a Canadian cable network.
ReplyDeleteI'm checking this show out mainly because of the premiere's great timing. This show is launching right when all of the US's broadcast shows are finishing their seasons. Since most summer shows don't start premiering until June, I'll be looking for something to fill the gap and this may do nicely.
ReplyDeleteThe more I learn about this show the more interested I get.
ReplyDeleteIf only it aired in the US, pity
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't the credit Victor Webster for Mutant X too? He was just a guest star on Castle, not one to write home about either since we barely saw him in it, look forward to this though!
