Jake Doyle is a rogue, a charmer, a detective – so far ticking all the boxes – but he's also a drinker, a brawler and emotionally immature. This ex-cop has as big a nose for sniffing out the bad guys as he does for finding trouble.
Jake cracks heads and cases in the historic and colourful city of St John’s on the Canadian island of Newfoundland. And it’s just as well – St John’s has been transformed from a sleepy seaport to a booming oil town, and where there’s cash, there’s crime.
Helping him in his private detective adventures are his father, respected ex-cop Mal, his partner Rose, and Jake’s feisty teenage niece, Katrina. Throw into the mix Jake’s estranged wife Nikki and their ongoing divorce case, and you can see why Jake’s rage is constantly boiling over.

Well the first episode was average and it's clear that Doyle really has a lot trouble with women and having to work with his dad was amusing at times. The annoying thing about the show are actor voices which does take a while to get used to Strong Canadian accent.
Benny case, Doyle is good friends and he's investigate who murder the guy benny had fight with and in the end he got off finding out it was accident . Doyle ex-wife is piece of work but i can't wait to see reaction when he open door to see that women.
On the whole this isn't a fantastic detective show but the situation Doyle can be amusing. Author: bala Time: 2-2-2011 12:30 Subject: The Return of the Grievous Angel
