Silver Spring, MD — Intelligence, Season 2, the concluding episodes of the 2008 Gemini-winning Best Drama Series, debuts on DVD from Acorn Media on April 14, 2009. Created, written, and produced by Chris Haddock (Da Vinci’s Inquest), this pulse-pounding Canadian crime drama explores espionage in the international drug trade and beyond. With nuanced characters and complex plotlines, the series proves irresistibly addictive on DVD, where the story unfolds at the viewers’ pace and no one has to wait a week for their next fix.

Focusing on the uneasy alliance between Vancouver’s chief intelligence officer (Klea Scott) and the city’s most successful drug boss (Ian Tracey, Da Vinci’s Inquest), it probes the high-stakes world of international crime and espionage, complete with murderers, moles, and call girls—all driven by personal ambition, politics, and greed. With a uniformly excellent ensemble cast, including Matt Frewer (Watchmen), all loyalties are negotiable in this high-stakes game, and the players use money, sex, drugs, and murder to secure the most powerful commodity of all—information.

Combining the crime family drama of The Sopranos with the sophisticated intrigue of The Wire, this critically acclaimed series spins a dark, daringly complex narrative web that ranks it among television’s best.
