anyone here ever watch 'Durham County'? A somewhat creepy, fairly suspenseful Canadian drama. I quite like it.

It seems to me to be fairly misandrist, but that's what makes it intersting. Apparently the entire production/writing crew is female, and they've inverted the formulaic murder mystery to critique gender relations and the stereotypes of the genre (at least, that's my 'take' on the show). Very enjoyable, though it's a little uneven at times. Good acting for sure. I'd recommend it if you liked 'Harper's Island' and that kind of fare.

Also the final season of 'Friday Night Lights' was very good. Didn't quite reach the heights of season 1, but still great television. Probably one of the most poignant series ever made.
