Série Noire - 2014 - 7/10

Denis and Patrick script write “Justice Law,” an unmemorable police / courthouse procedural.
The show is derivative, the writing shoddy and illogical. The hack writers do not expect it to be renewed.
Nonetheless, ratings wise it is good enough to be given a second season.
The duo, desiring authenticity, step into the sordid side of the Canadian crime world.
One slips into the world of prostitution, the other robbery.
Soon, both are in way over their heads with criminals, police, and show producers wanting new writers.
Canadian series runs funny, dark, and silly as often laugh-out-loud slitherings unfold.
The narrative thread staggers in bizarre directions, like a zonked out stoner in an amusement park.

Of particular note is viewer Marc Arcand, whose namesake is a troubled baddie in “Justice’s Law.”
Arcand, in a show packed with villains, is easily the funniest, cleverest and most devious psycho throughout.
Engaging, but writers as protagonists? C’mon, stick with true heroes. English majors.
