Don McKellar. As close to perfect as you can get. This is EXACTLY what this show should be. When you sit down to watch a light-hearted detective show you have certain expectations. You want a story that quirky and interesting, you want characters you like and want to cheer for, you want some action and - probably more than anything else - you want some laughs. Republic Of Doyle has all of this, and never has it been better displayed than in this episode. There’s nothing remarkable about, really. It’s just another case-of-the-week. But it hits the ground running, and the comedian client makes for a slight departure from formula. The story is ordinary, but it plays out fast with twists and turns and plenty of laughs (the banter between our hero and his dad has never been better), and reaches a highly satisfying conclusion. Honestly, if you sat down to make a private show of this type (and there have been many!) you could not possibly do better than this.
They even referenced Hardcastle And McCormick at one point!10/10
