I haven't seen much of this show, but I've heard some positive things. Anybody watch it? The first season is replaying on the Reelz Channel on Sunday.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I watched it as it aired in Canada. Like (sadly) a lot of (English) Canadian TV the acting ranges from great, to really poor. I did think it got a lot better as it went on. Apparently it was a big enough success to get picked up for a second season (which is fairly rare with Canadian network tv, it seems).

The funding mechanism for Canadian series ( CanCon for Telefilm Canada) usually goes full for 2 yrs. The 3rd yr it drops considerably and is eliminated by the 4th yr .( supposedly sould be financially sell sustaining by then HA!) Which is why so few series ( that don't sell to the US) in Canada rarely go beyond 3 yrs. Flashpoint just made it to 5 yrs. as did Due South (Tho DS was a point of pride for the producers) So don't get too invested. ( tho the show has improved from the earliest episodes)
