[pilot episode, aired Sep. 3 on BBC Canada]
I watched Waterloo Road tonight and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how good it is. It had rave reviews from British viewers but I was unsure if it would appeal to me, a Canadian. Sometimes British dramas and comedies are too quirky for me and I often don't understand the storylines or humour very well (it just doesn't translate) but occasionally, as is the case with shows like Distant Shores and My Family, there is a universal appeal that draws me in to the series. This was the case with Waterloo Road which I found fantastic. The show translates exceedingly well. The characters and storylines are appealing and within the first five minutes of the premiere episode I knew immediately that I will tune in regularly to this series.
Please, note, that as some of the accents were hard for me to decipher, I watched this show with close captioning so I could see what some people were saying. It didn't take away from the show at all though.
