19-2 (TV Series) School (2015) User Reviews

The best show I have seen in far too long! I was shaking it was so real!

I barely watch t.v. anymore because the acting is so out of touch with reality. This season opener with the school shooting is both the best drama I have seen in years as well as the closest to the reality of what has been going on over the past two years or so in both Canada and the U.S. The acting is incredibly god and the actors bring you right into the school with your children there and your husband and wife as the 1st responders. Excellent job. If the rest of the season is anywhere near as good as this I won't miss one episode. I work as a speech writer for federal Ministers on First Nations. Wait until I get them watching it. You'll have a whole new audience who need a relief when under constant pressure. Excellent work!

Probably the best hour of TV I've ever seen

The way this season open was shot is incredible. With the long shots that jump from one team to another as they search the school. It is so suspenseful and makes me proud to see a Canadian series set the bar so high. Outstanding!

Totally unexpected, Shocking and Unfortunate

I watched a lot of crime series like 19-2. Something is different in this one. Maybe a pure reality for people who work in public services in our city and how they encounter with their personal matters and social issues. in this episode, we face with one of the greatest scenes in this genre. 13 minutes unbelievable uncut sequence-plan!!! Amazing roles and directing and movie shooting. You can not move when you watching this episode.In this episode we can be familiar with the characters of the series as well. Their strength and weakness. In many moments, you can feel a great music which playing during touchy moments. Sorry for what happened in the U.S and Canada couple years ago.

Authentic

I've never been in a mass shooting situation, before...i.e., until I watched this episode. Riveting. I had to remind myself that it was a series a few times just to unclench my teeth a bit. Artfully done. Dialog is sparse but you are front and center in the moment during a harrowing ordeal. Beautiful ending. Very well-acted. Kudos to Jared Keeso as Ben Chartier. His last moments in this episode are exquisite. Fine actor.

A RIVETING, BREATHLESS, BRILLIANT EPISODE!

The school scenes were so realistically filmed that I was put through an emotional "meat-grinder" - yet this episode was so overwhelmingly powerful that I immediately watched it again once it was over!! A first-rate job by the entire cast and crew make this an unforgettable viewing experience. Bravo!!!

Incredible

One of the best episodes of tv I have ever seen. The level of emotion and intensity was insane. Superb writing and even better acting. I was left stunned and exhausted when it was over.

A must-see

This ep is so tense and intense. I couldn't breathe.

Incredible

I completely agree with the previous reviewer and also can't beleieve there haven't been other reviews, This really is remarkable television and, even having previously watched season one, and indeed other cop shows for years, I wasn't prepared for it. The content is extremely graphic in places, and the subject matter potentially very distressing, so caution is strongly advised. However, I've never seen anything that has come close to this episode in terms of capturing the sense of being in the situation, with it's associated chaos, fear, confusion, and bravery. Absolutey incredible television.
