Great to see Toronto scenes as Toronto! However the character development is weak (including nothing on their back stories) and only five regular cast… Also despite reflecting local issues the plot development feels shallow. Am pushing myself to watch it, i.e. giving it a chance. But disappointing so far.

Love the series and hope that all regions will be covered over the next few seasons. My reason for a 3 star rating is that while I am a fan of Stanley Tucci AND he is incredibly articulate , he seems to fall short when commenting on the various dishes, beverages, etc. he is tasting. Surely he can express or someone can script him with more that repeated "Oh my God".... Really???
