contact-562-20249 Burden of Truth is a first-class legal thriller mini-series. It is one of the most-engaging legal mini-series ever produced. Reminiscent of the intensity of the 1960s series The Defenders.A lawyer is sent to a small Canadian town to resolve claims a client's drug might be causing local girls to get sick. That starts her on a quest to find the cause of the illness. Great script and top-notch acting by Kristin Kreuk and Peter Mooney in the lead roles.Intrigue. Romance. Danger. Sleazy lawyers. Corrupt police and politicians. Family feuding and secrets. Can't ask for more!
kristomluver Okay, I am a HUGE KK fan. I have watched all her stuff and that is why I had to check out Burden Of Truth. When I read the description and heard the creators comparing it to Erin Brockovich, I was super pumped to see this because I loved that movie. Season 1 is not a high octane thrill ride. It's more of a stroll down the parkway with some mysteries along the way. It takes it's time, BUT, give the material, I think it was quite appropriate in doing so. There are some odd story lines that weren't needed or weren't properly inserted into the show, but it still delivered entertainment wise. As the lead, Kristin holds her own, and Peter Mooney is a fantastic co-star! The two play wonderfully off each other. Supporting cast rounds out the body of the show quite nicely. Would I recommend Burden? ....I sure would! Some writing issues, but overall, the story was interesting, acting was on point and the cinematography was absolutely wonderful!I am very excited for Season 2!
cherylfentie Took a couple of episodes to get into it but once I was I enjoyed the series. It was like reading a book that you really get into. It is a mystery about how the girls acquired their strange symptoms, then secrets from the past become uncovered and the characters become real with relationships and emotions. There is a strong cast with great acting. Eagerly anticipating the next episodes!!
jowinner Plot rather slow and silly. Acting was flat. I never realized lawyers could order large amounts of medical investigations for clients. I thought you not only had to be medically qualified, but you had to have privileges at the institution where the tests were being ordered. Is the Kristin Kreuk character an MD as well as a brilliant and beautiful lawyer? No, she's not.
