I love this show! It's probably my favorite show on TV right now. The acting is great, especially the characterizations by Enrico C. as the boss and Hugh Dillon as the master sniper. The two characters they play are strong and complicated, with Enrico playing the more sympathetic role.
The two young-uns who play "Jules" and the Iraqui-War vet make all the mistakes that newbies to the force make, which is grueling when you realize how much these guys' lives are in the hands of the others. Amy Jo Johnson, who plays Jules, seems a bit weak in the arena of having her "acting chops," but she is also the gal who may or may not be coming back after recovering (in real life) from having a baby in December 2008. The script right now -- absent Johnson-- has "Jules" severely wounded and possibly not coming back; another actress has taken her place with the warning of the boss that "Jules" will be the first choice if she can come back.
I have only seen this new actress once and she definitely has more gravitas than Amy Jo Johnson who is a very petite gal to be playing in such a "heavy-weight" role.
"Flashpoint" is not made for a relaxing Friday evening when you want to doze off! This IS a great show though. Thoroughly riveting.
