Does anyone else watch this? I’ve never seen a thread about it here.
This show freakin’ rocks. Peter Outerbridge is astoundingly talented.
Season 2 is very nearly over, and there’s no word on a third. Sarah Strange, the actress that plays Jill Langston has got a regular gig on a network show this fall, so she may be out. I love her character, but she does seem to be the most incompetant scientist they’ve got.

I saw the season 2 finale last night, it’s pretty good and there’s a really good cliffhanger for season 3 (if there is one).
I think the whole cast is excellent although I do agree with you about Outerbridge.
One thing I do enjoy about it is the fact that it’s actually set in Toronto. So many things are filmed here, but they almost always pretend to be somewhere else.
And yeah, the whole cast is great. Dmitry Chepovetsky, who plays Bob, turns in an excellent performance. I usually discredit performances where actors play a handicap (Dustin Hoffman’s “Rainman”, Sean Penn’s “I Am Sam”.) It may look impressive at first blush, but all ou have to is watch Ed Norton in “The Score” to see how much those performances are gimicky and shallow. Dmitry’s Bob, on the other hand, is a rich and multi-layered character, for whom Asperger’s Syndrome is just one facet of a full personality. Really great.
