Sorry to disappoint you but this post was referring to the premiere of season 2.
As detailed in a later post (http://danny.damours.net/wordpress/lack-of-intelligence-at-the-cbc-intelligence-jpod-and-mvp-cancelled) Intelligence has been cancelled after season 2 and there will not be a season 3. It has been 4 years now and sadly there is no sign of a resurrection.

I think a lot of people were anxious to find out what happened to Jimmy and the gang.

Does this mean that it is on in the US now on Monday nights? I hope so. Greatest show in a very long time. I am addicted and if there is any advertisement, there will be a lot of fans. I will look for it on my guide site.

Intelligence via Netflix was so good that I would stay up until 4:00AM to squeeze in as many episodes as my eyes would stay open! I called Netflix to see if there was going to be or is a season 3. They do not know and I still do not know if it is confirmed from this blog site. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF IT IS IN THE WORKS! I can’t believe a show this good is over. PlEASE say that Jimmy wore his vest. Have someone take Jimmy to the hospital and save his life so we can have more episodes!

Note that Intelligence was broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation or CBC not the American network, CBS. It is amazing how Netflix has brought this gem of a short lived series to so many people.

Shame on you CBS, this is what television should be ……..ENTERTAINING not the constant stream of “reality” drivel. Intelligence is well written,brilliantly acted and fast paced. Thank you NetFlix, this is what you do best!

Never heard of Intelligence when it aired or in rerun. Stumbled on it at the video store. It is Canada’s Sopranos and The Wire, and better because the more convincing. That’s exactly why it’s cancelled. Ottawa mandarins, corporate suits, and Harperite politicos made a lot of noise about how the show makes them look bad and the baddies look good, and worst of all, exposes the Americans for the hypocritical shits they are. When will Canadians wake up to the fact thet this is the 51st state in the making. CBC has no balls. This show could have gone for a decade as long as the writing stayed good.

Yeah I fully agree with Umar and most people that it wasn’t advertised right and enough. It’s a pretty simple mistake that will make the whole difference.. If the Red Hot Chilli Peppers just played a show on the street downtown without telling anybody then hardly anyone would notice and acknowledge the world wide hit band playing live front row on the sidewalk. Netflix is the only reason 90 percent of anybody heard of Intelligence. CBC sucks at knowing/understanding their viewers. Thank god for netflix

How crazy is that? I just discovered Intelligence, too, and it is far above any television show I have ever seen – what happened? CBC? not enough promotion – the scripts, the complex characters, wonderful actors – WOW – only 2 seasons? how disappointing…..also, love Da Vinci’s Inquest and only three seasons are on DVD, what’s up with that? – why didn’t Da Vinci City Hall fly?? – I shake my head in amazement. The best TV ever………

The best show on TV was The Wire on HBO. I just came across Intelligence on Netflix. Intelligence is better than the Wire!!

Great acting, plot, and story line. Why do networks shoot themselves in the foot? You had a great show with proper advertising it could have been an international hit.

I just finished watching this show on Netflix and i am so disappointed that it got cut. The story lines were really getting interested, and the cast was maturing and developing. It was as good, if not better than 24 and similar shows. Bring it back! I want to know how Max Hedron dies!!

I also fell into Intelligence on Netflix and was hooked! Two season is not enough. What a great show, cast and script! Now I’m hunting for a similar show to Netflick and start from Season one episode one. Suggestions? I live in Oregon but tend to think a lot of American television is overrated. I was very impressed with Ian tracey and Klea Scott in Intelligence!

I can’t believe it is almost 3 years since the series ended and people are still talking about it. The acting was superb, the storylines and plots believable. Truly “intelligent”. Wish CBC had continued this series but goods things must come to an end.

Just fell into Intelligence on Netflix and so, so, SO disappointed that it ended where it did. We’re big fans of The Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad and other similar series (i.e., good TV), and Intelligence was up there with the best of them — superb characters, compelling plot, totally believable actors. CBC, please bring back Mary & Jimmy!!!

Comment on Lack of Intelligence at the CBC – Intelligence, jPod and MVP cancelled by darlene fields

I just found the series in Dallas, Tx and I loved it. I got to see both seasons and was so upset to read that the series was canceled. This is such a good show and it really tells the behind the scenes of government and informants etc. I figured before I found out it was the last show that the next show would be that Jimmy lives of course. Dante actually had his guys shoot Jimmy knowing that it was the perfect time as everyone would think that it was the Americans. Well, we’ll never know. Shame!

I saw it on Netflix saw the pilot and I was hooked! However, I am so disappointed there is no season 3, 4, 5, and so on. So many unanswered questions. I hope they bring it back because it is a great show.

I knew going in that it had been cancelled prematurely, I read a review on Slate that praised the series and also bemoaned its demise. I borrowed it from the library anyway and watched both seasons straight through. Things seemed to unwind a bit toward the end of the second season though. What happened to the Brother? And the banker? Who were these mysterious Americans? Ah well, we’ll just have to wait for Haddock’s next series to come out. Has anyone learned why Showcase and CBC ended the relationship with Haddock? It must have had something to do with personalities?

I just watched both seasons of intelligence in only 3 days here in the USA on netflix… I was curious as to where season 3 was myself… Rather frustrated after googling it and finding this blog saying there was no season 3… Also frustrated when I read a lot of people bashing USA tv shows… They just havn’t found the right ones yet… My favorite are all aired on the USA network… White Collar, Burn Notice, Covert Affair, Royal Pains, Pysch…. etc….. All GREAT American televion series… When I found Intelligence I would say that it ranks right up there with the shows I already watch… MAJOR dissapointment to see that your CBC network dropped it… Maybe the show was hitting a little close to home government wise…. Joys of living in USA you can say whatever you want without being screened out

Just read through the last 4 years + comments about this show which my wife and I just finished watching on Netflix. We both are very disappointed that the show ended and no season – 3 will follow. CBC WAKE – UP !!!
Revive this show
Hopefully with the same cast ASAP !!!!

Just finished watching both seasons of Intelligence. It was like a great book, I couldn’t put it down. Too bad CBC won’t continue with this very well done series, it’s stuff like this that separates Canada from the US. I’m disappointed.

Thanks to Netflix, I have had the opportunity to experience the superbly brilliant drama of “Intelligence”, purely addictive

What a way to leave the fans, is there going to be a 3rd season or a movie?

Another possible great show coming this winter is Arctic Air. It stars Adam Beach who has come home from Hollywood to work in Canada! Good for Adam. Welcome back to Canadian series television.
Okay, that’s my last post promoting Canadian television. There is lots more but I will let you folks find it yourselves.

I should also mention that the series Republic of Doyle takes place in St. John’s NFLD the opposite end of the country from British Columbia. You will see guest appearances of actors from Intelligence on there as well.

Well, Intelligence has been off the air for at least three years now so I guess we are not going to get it back. I wonder if they would consider a made for TV movie? Its unfortunate that it became popular at the middle of the second season and was canceled. Fortunately, all the great actors are still working and we get to see them in other programs. One people might keep an eye out for is Republic of Doyle. In January Russel Crowe is making a guest appearance. The title character (Doyle) appeared in Robin Hood with Russel and he is returning the favour. Big deal for little old CBC to have a superstar like Russel Crowe do a guest appearance. The episode is sometime in January 2012.

This is the best show we have seen on TV in a long time!!!! My wife and I found it on Net flix and have been inthralled by the fast pace, great plot and dynamic characters. We are devastated to see that it just ends with the shooting and now we hear that the show has been cancelled?? Thats just crazy!! Look like politics as usual- getting too close to the truth on some level so it has to be censored. Really sad that a show of this caliber gets cancelled when all the “reality” junk TV is still running strong in the networks…

This is the most engaging series,ever to appear on TV…Forget about Supranos..This is informative, and entertaining. I must watch at least series in one sitting. Please bring it back. If the only way is to pay fore it as a subxription, I would do this…..without advertisements..

what the #$%^!!!! this show is AWESOME, i do not understand why in Canada or the U.S. with all the free speech and rights that we have, that this show has been cancelled, it seems like some kind of ultimate irony. A martyr of a tv show. My new favorite, and that is something, i hate almost everything. WHY? Who do i have to blackmail to bring this show back to life? i feel like HBO is a perfect candidate to take this show over since CBC clearly cant handle it, another irony(im an American)? it came highly recommended to me via Netflix and now all my friends are also getting hooked on it. Bring it back or at least write something we can read, gotta know what happened at the end of season 2. youre killing me.

We just found this series on Netlix also and are addicted. We can’t stop watching them…OH NO..only two seasons??? The actors are superb in this show and the story line is believable and suspenseful….please make a 3rd, 4th etc seasons for those of us who are addicted.

Great show!

I live in the US and find myself bragging for good tv. This season there wasn’t a single American drama worth wasting my time watching.

This is the greatest drama since the first five seasons of the X Files before Chris Carter burned out and the scripts started to go downhill.

Was the show cancelled because of the real world themes?

Thank you Netflix for bringing on this show, perhaps you can buy exclusive rights to have it brought back and only shown via Netflix. That would be a real coup d’état!

Bring it back.
