Saving Hope Stays Alive In CanadaRating: 2 likes, 8 dislikes

This show has all the chops of Grey's Anatomy with an other-worldly twist. Charlie, in his comatose state, engages in warm, sad, angry and also funny discussions with those that are about to pass on. Michael Shanks is a great choice to play Charlie as is Erica Durance as Alex.

The characters have chemistry and their relationships display passion, commitment and heart. Alex, not able to bear the thought of losing Charlie, passionately enlists the aid of her team to never give up on him. Dr. Hamza was Alex's hero in episode 12, when he performed a deep-cranial stimulation to Charlie's brain, all because Alex would not give up. Commitment is Alex's unending drive to keep Charlie alive.

Heart is shown in the risks the team takes every day such as Dr. Murphy, while knowing he will be disciplined, goes to the home of the Alzheimer couple in episode 12, to make sure the wife is okay.

This grown-in-Canada creation strikes a chord because the setting is familiar when it names popular locations in Ontario such as Owen Sound.

Thank-you CTV for retaining Saving Hope for a second season. I will be watching.
