Set on the French territory Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, the new series treats the location’s distinctive place and culture as obstacles to avoid, rather than a source of freshness
The French overseas collectivity, an archipelago an hour-and-a-half ferry ride away from Fortune, N.L., is an odd little remnant of New France in the Gulf of St Lawrence.
Hawco plays Detective Fitz, a Royal Newfoundland Constabulary inspector assigned to work with the Saint Pierre police., premiering on CBC Gem and CBC on Jan. 6, is a generic and goofy procedural put in front of a unique backdrop it rarely glances over its shoulder at. Allan Hawco plays Fitz, a Royal Newfoundland Constabulary inspector reassigned to work with the Saint Pierre police for extremely convoluted reasons. The Newfoundlander, of course, previously played a PI with panache onJosephine Jobert, meanwhile, plays Saint Pierre’s deputy police chief Arch – a Parisian transplant whose middle initial and last name, I was disappointed to discover, are not I. Pelago.
