Just finished the series and was really impressed. Way better than I was expecting, though it took a while to see Jared Keeso in a drama, coming from Letterkenny first.

This sub seems pretty dead but thought I would ask anyway because it was kind of bugging me, but two questions about the series finale that didn't seem to get answered:

1. Why was Commander Gendron seemingly so sad/depressed as he was leaving the station? The camera seemed to do a close-up and linger on his face to point out that he was sad, but I couldn't remember it it was explained.

2. Was the body found in the river the leader of the "Outsider" mob, or was he hired by someone else to take out Ben? It was strange to have such a build-up about organized crime taking out Ben only to show a single body saying "that's the guy who wanted to take you out" and that's it.

Thinking back on it were there more hints about Houle besides his comments about Gendron's daughter? I only figured it out because I realized that Houle didn't have any other plot lines and he was getting more focus.

Not even 4 minutes in and my heart is shattered.. I am at a loss for words.

…but the Black Bloc episode really bugged me. Don’t know why…all the crime organizations in the show are vastly exaggerated…but c’mon.

Organized anarchists with goals? ROFL

Im confused to why JM felt bad for Audrey getting beaten up while he’s a literal wife beater? Please explain

Hey, super glad I found this subreddit, since someone may be able to provide info on how to watch the English 19-2 in Canada. I can’t seem to find any streaming services that have it, or anywhere selling digital or physical copies. I had been watching it free on YouTube each night while I’ve been away for work and it was helping me lots with decompressing since I could relate to Officer Chartier so much. Unfortunately it got taken down last night with me not yet finished the last episode in season 2. Any advice on where to watch or buy it? Cheers!

Always before diving into a new show I tend to check out the fandom and as 19two was recommended to me, that is what I'm doing now. Sure, the show isn't recently released but not way, way old either and it seems to be quite well liked... so where is the content? 👀 Barely any fanfics or artwork or anything! Is there a ship name that everything goes under or is there just.. nothing? And in that case why? I:

Hello!

I was recommended this show and wanted to get started but the first episode starts with a recap of what happened before. Is there something I need to watch before the show?

Cheers

Saven donde ver 19-2 en español

Does anyone have information as to why that happened? I don’t want to use spoilers, but if there’s anyone out there that can give me any information as to why they shattered my heart with that ending, I would appreciate it.

So I initially chalked up the first appearance of this symbol on screen when they showed up for the first call as part of the "vandalism", but it was still present when they showed up for the dead body.

Anyone know what's going on here? I couldn't find anything on it being used historically in church murals, so I'm a bit confused.

everything would have been so different if Isabelle would have worked things out with Nick. not that i'm saying it's her fault, or anything, but a lot a lot of the dumb shit Nick does (and boy is it A LOT) can be put down to him feeling adrift and without a home or family.

what's the biggest thing you think would have changed?

So you all know that sgt Houle has a thingy with kids, then I remembered the school shooting episode and there was this one scene where the sgt tells the commander “I need to be inside” , the commander says “absolutely not”( I’m assuming he knows because of his daughter and he wants to keep an eye on him but I’m not 100% sure). This is just speculation from my part but I thought that was cool foreshadowing.

I was able to purchase the seasons on Amazon Video in the US finally <3 unedited and brilliant as ever S1-4 are available!

19-2 is currently airing in the UK on the Paramount Channel. As far as I can tell, they are looping S3 and S4 on repeat.

My recordings aren't telling me the episode numbers (they all have a generic description, and some are labelled as the X-Files, which is what I was trying to record, but they stopped airing it in the middle of X Files series 8 and swapped it out), but I think it starts with S3E1.

19-2 is an English adaptation of the french show 19-2, originally broadcasted by CBC. I feel like 19-2 Season 4 didn't wrap up their characters well enough (like Southland) and that there is still a story to be told.

It's brilliant shots, (the school) characters and acting is more deserving than just 4 seasons. Maybe CTV and Bravo should continue this series, maybe even Netflix.

So I watched the first three seasons and I was really sad when I finished them all up but then over spring break, I found out there was a fourth season and yet again I'm sad that it ended again. Is there any new information that could lead to maybe a new season?

I'll be posting this in parts as I write. No schedule. Please leave comments.

Six months after Ben skins and butchers a deer with Marc and Nick in the back of his brother’s rig, he gets a call right as he’s hefting his backpack onto his shoulder and walking out of the station locker room.

‘I’m at the bus stop. Can you come get me?’

Martine. They’d exchanged some texts where he’d awkwardly tried to reach out and she’d patiently taught him the ins-and-outs of texting, interspersed with assurances of her general safety and okay-ness. Nowhere had she mentioned coming back to Montréal.

‘Yeah, I’m on my way. Stay inside the station. Somewhere well-lit. Don’t move ‘til I get there.’

‘Yes, Dad.’

It takes an infuriating 40 minutes to cross town to the bus station, even at this time of night. Ben walks up and down, calling her name until she pokes her head out of the station attendant’s booth, waving at him and calling his name back.

The avuncular old man chastises Ben for leaving his ‘sister’ alone at the station, where anything could happen. ‘I promise, it won’t happen again,’ he swears while Martine snickers into her hand, faking a yawn.

They talk a bit walking to the Jeep, but when he opens her door and slings her bag into the back next to his, he turns and looks her in the face for the first time. His heart feels like someone reached into his chest and squeezed. He wraps her up in the tightest hug he thinks she’ll tolerate and almost breaks when she holds him just as tight. He speaks into her hat where it covers her ears, ‘I’m so glad you’re here,’ and feels her nod in response.

At his flat, he apologises for not having any food in. Martine scoffs, ‘What, again? Or still?’ It cuts a bit deeper than she meant it to, but he blushes anyway. It’s true he’s been a bit of a mess on his own. It just hasn’t seemed worth it.

‘Honestly, what I want right now is a hot shower and some sleep. Everything else can wait until morning.’ Ben pulls out fresh towels for her, and the spare duvet and pillows for the couch Nick had finally physically dragged him to a furniture store to buy.

When she comes out towelling her hair, she sits down next to him so close their shoulders touch. He watches her for a while, convincing himself she’s really here. Martine watches him back, gently squeezing water out of her hair.

‘So, what’s going on with you?’ he opens. There are so many questions bubbling under his skin. Why are you here? Why now? How long will you be here? All of them mean the same thing: Please stay. He doesn’t want to spook her, so he goes with the most open-ended thing he can think of. ‘How’s Hamilton?’

Martine bobs her head for a moment, considering. ‘Hamilton kinda sucks actually. The whole,’ she circles her hand in front of her, palm out and fingers straight, ‘cousin thing didn’t work out. Turns out, my mom came to Montréal cos she was the black sheep of the family. They didn’t want nothin’ to do with her, let alone the kid she had while no one was looking. We met once, and it was because she wanted to tell me to fuck off in person.’

The idea that they wouldn’t even open the door to her makes Ben’s throat burn, so he swallows his anger and offers instead, ‘I’m sorry. She sounds like an asshole.’ He picks futilely at the label on his bottle of water.

Martine shakes her head, starts working on drying the other half of her hair. “It was a longshot anyway. I took the money you gave me and got a room and a job, but. It’s miserable. I don’t know anybody there, I don’t even like them. So I saved up enough for a bus ticket and I came back. I’ve got the rest of your cash by the way, if you want it back.’ She cuts her eyes back at him, bracing for his answer.

So much has been taken from her already, it’s all Ben can do not to start yelling. ‘Keep it. It’s yours.’ She clearly doesn’t believe him, so he follows up with, ‘I mean it. Use it to get another job. Or go back to school. I can help you with that if you want. Whatever. It’s yours.’ Martine searches his face for a long time before deciding to trust him.

She folds the towel, setting it down neatly, and asks, ‘Do you want to know the worst part?’

Ben has a moment of sheer, visceral terror at all the shit that can befall a sixteen year old girl in a strange city, but he settles himself more deeply into the couch and pulls himself together enough to reply, ‘Only if you wanna tell me.’ She deserves to make her own choices. He can do that for her.

‘I’ve never been that lonely in my life. Not in a group home or in a foster home, or even on my own here.’ What Ben feels in that moment is not relief precisely. ‘No one has touched me since you dropped me off at the bus depot. I can’t stand it. I feel like the walls are closing in. I completely lose my shit. So I kept myself to myself, and I didn’t let it happen, even accidentally.’

‘At the bus depot, when we got to the truck. Did I…” Ben trails off, unsure of where to go with that thought, and not liking it.

‘No, you’re fine.’ Martine toys with a loose thread on the sleeve of her shirt before continuing.

‘The worst part was about two months ago. I knew I wanted to leave, but I had no idea where to go. I was just… staring at my phone, looking at the map when you texted me. I remembered the night I got on the bus. You hugged me then too, and I felt…’ she pauses, swallowing. ‘Safe. I felt safe. So I decided to come back.’ She looks him directly in the eyes and says, ‘I know you. You’re not a creep. You’d never hurt me, I know you wouldn’t. I’m safe with you. I need that.’

Ben blinks the tears out of his eyes and rasps out, ‘Can I hug you again?’

Martine nods, and as Ben holds her he can feel her crying against his shoulder. He talks quietly to her, ‘Hey, it’s okay, I got you. You’re home now. I got you, you’re okay. You’re home.’ As he says it, he wants it so much it hurts. He wants Martine to stay with him, to be here when he gets back from work, to leave her homework on the counter and her shoes in the hall, to make fun of him for eating maple syrup on ham. He wants to keep her safe and take care of her, to give her everything she should have had all along.

It’s late and they both feel like they’ve been through the wringer, so Ben gets her some aspirin and a glass of water, promising they’ll go to the store in the morning.

‘Fair warning,’ Martine says from the bed, ‘I get nightmares. They can be… loud. So, sorry in advance.’

‘I get ‘em too. We’ll deal.’ Ben spreads the duvet out on the couch and climbs in, fussing with the pillows until he’s comfortable. He clicks off the lamp and they lay there in the dark, listening to their breathing fall in and out of sync until they fall asleep.

I just finished the first and second seasons on Amazon Prime. I have no idea when Amazon will get the rest.

Dear CTV:

You took an program aimed squarely, specifically to an adult audience and shat on it in the name of making it something it wasn't; family friendly. This despite you from warning us about adult content before every show and after every commercial...

A new level of stupidity: they even blurred the rookie's hand when he gave the finger to nothing...something the audience saw from the side!

So yeah, thanks for ruining the final season of 19-2.

Jeers, you nannying assholes.

Lots of personality on both version but the english version had too much of a softened up, TV friendly version of these characters but they compensated by giving longer story arcs.

So name a character and if the english or french version did a better writing of the character.
