Great scenery, interesting stories and charming people to spend time with
St John's, Newfoundland is the outermost port town on the Atlantic side of the island, bordering on the North Atlantic oilfields. This brings a hard-boiled, transient population to a small-town seaport, now emerging into an oil boomtown. Conflicts are sure to arise as transient oil workers, and their followers of entrepreneurs, hustlers and con men and women mix with the locals and disturb the locals' customs.
Stage set, we meet proprietors of a local family business: Doyle and Doyle, Detective Services, a father and son team, whose crime-solving methods are as different as their personalities. Son, Alan, is charming and irreverent, while father, Malachy, is a little more old school, but clever, with his skill set. This family's business involves other family members as Alan and Malachy each deal w their own clients in small-town St John's, including stalkers, jail breakers, bikers and bounty-hunters, and even a runaway bride.
We get great scenery, interesting stories and charming people to spend time with. We are presented w clever detective work, tense situations, frustrations, comedy and even a pint of ale at the end of the day w family members and friends. Altogether, a well-spent hour w each episode. Enjoy...
