Half hour episodes.
Nice and gentle Canadian cop series with a dog, a very clever German Shepherd. Filmed in Newfoundland and Labrador, interesting for the location views themselves. Not familiar with any of the actors, but Hudson (John Reardon) fits his role nicely, and is not bad eye candy. Apparently he's a very single minded singleton in the Major Crimes unit, solving mysteries with the help of his trusty 4-legged companion.
I got Disc 2, not entirely remembering if I'd sampled H&R before (actually I was thinking of an Australian cop and hound series) Rex' real dog name is Diesel vom Burgimwald. Very majestic.
Hudson's colleagues are all competant and they're fairly solid mysteries too.
To be honest, what's not to like?
I thought the character playing Rex was superb - understated performance but full of expression. Shame about his co-star - overplayed and 'hammy'.
