    Storyline

    Edit
    Flesh and Blood is a contemporary upstairs downstairs that follows the parallel and intersecting lives of people in Toronto. Lives brought together by a murder where the ring of a gunshot echoes across the border between rich and poor. A mystery. A shared dream. Hope, survival, sex, betrayal - the usual. And the not so usual. The First World meets the Third World in the streets of Toronto, the city the country loves to hate. —person1

    Powerful
    This show is the strongest on Canadian Television in recent years. The characters are believable, the interwoven plots are full of suspense, and the acting is outstanding. There is no way this show would last on American television, but here it should remain on for sometime. If you get Canadian television you don't want to miss this show.
