User Reviews

Ooo-lah-lah!

Finally we have a gem of a television series with a well balanced crime/drama/comedy detective series that will appeal to a wide range audience base and not just one that concentrates on a murder of the week, or based on a genius detective that solves each weeks crime in the last five (5) minutes of each episode.

Private Eyes stars 47 year old Jason Priestly as a retired professional hockey player named Matt Shade who is raising his legally blind teenage daughter Jules (Jordyn Negri) with the assistance of his own father Don Shade (Barry Flatman). In the series opener Matt Shade is trying to establish his second career as a bona fide hockey player agent but instead falls into the business of investigating what caused his potential first round draft choice player from collapsing on the ice and almost dying.

Matt Shade develops a personal/professional chemistry with a female private detective named Angie Everett (Cindy Sampson) who as the series opener provides a new career choice for Matt Shade. Why I like this series is that each episode provides a completely different story line and at the same time we get to know a little bit more about the two main characters, the retired hockey player Matt Shade and his partner in crime solving, Private Detective Angie Everett.

Season 1 only provided us with the first ten (10) episodes but this series has proved in its debut that it is here to stay and I look forward to it surpassing its 250th episode by the year 2025. It is a gem of a series that will have you also saying OOO-LAH-LAH!

I give the series a 9 out of 10 rating.
