cBc’s gritty new true-crime series

CBC taps in to the true-crime TV craze with The Detectives, a binge-worthy eight-part docudrama that fuses the high-stakes intrigue of Making a Murderer with the enthralling insider intel of a police procedural. In each episode, a real Canadian cop recounts the gripping details behind the most onerous investigation of their career, revealing how they cracked the case. The stories—brought to life through scripted dramatizations—span the entire country, but at least one episode is set in Toronto, where a detective hunts down a serial arsonist.
