Plague City

[Guest ryan_the_canuck]

Anyone catch CTV's drama/documentary of 2003's SARS crisis?

I saw most of it, and was rather disappointed...I'm glad it didn't become a sappy love-thy-nurses bit of drivel, but had too much of a love-thy-unoffical-capital feel (i.e. too much of a Toronto tourism piece)...I'm a fan of including real world media reports into this type of movie, but I thought that the last 40 minutes or so, with the WHO ban and return to normalcy of Toronto, could have been fleshed out more...

Your thoughts?

CTV fucking sucks, they always try and do "realism pieces" on Canada that are usually pretty terrible. CBC is better, although at times, they have a tendency to be very boring. But yeah, orginal CTV miniseries = the suck.

The commercial alone killed it for me. The sick man dying, saying "what have I done?"... the guy saying "You know what we got... Plague City..." ... it was ll just so corny.

It was done by CTV, of course it was going to suck. CTV has HORRIBLE original programming, excluding Degrassi Next Gen and Corner Gas. It is all about the CBC, baby.

I don't find either of those shows interesting. The only time I watch CTV is for the Law and Orders, the occaisional Daily Show, and the HBO series that Showcase doesn't pick up.
