- TriviaThe production schedule has been somewhat unorthodox and unpredictable for viewers. Originally 52 episodes were shot in a batch, then aired on Showcase in 2001 for it's first season. Then, new episodes stopped appearing until 2004, leaving many to think the show was canceled. A new batch of 26 episodes began airing in the fall of 2004. Then no more news about the show was given leading to people thinking, once more, that the show had been canceled. However it was renewed for another season of 26 episodes which aired in 2008.
- Quotes
Francis Hunter: Put some fresh coffee on, it'll be ready in a minute.
Roxy Hunter: I think I wanna go to Pamela's, there must be a reason why I was sleep walking to her house.
Francis Hunter: She's a witch, she cast a spell on you!
Roxy Hunter: Why would she do that?
Francis Hunter: Spite! She's jealous!
Roxy Hunter: Of what? All our money, the furniture? Maybe she could help.
Francis Hunter: Let me be the one to help you.
Roxy Hunter: I know you want to help me but you can't just kiss me and make it better. Not this time.
Francis Hunter: Oh, I can try!
Roxy Hunter: Let me see her, please. Please!
Comparable with Melrose Place or any other primetime drama - Paradise Falls has it all. Murder, mystery, mayhem. It's storylines are drawn out but quickly displayed. While it has all the necessary elements of a nightly "soap", it also has that noticeable Canadian atmosphere to it - which can be good or bad..
The acting is good, cheesy at times - an error of script, not skill. Characters are well played out, and there is strong contrast of good and bad people. You like the ones you should, you hate the ones you should.
I understand that this is only a half year show, it will end evantually with no plans for more that I've heard of. The finale will no doubt be good, and a tad sad as we will never see the show again. I would be up for more.
If you get Showcase, if you are free Monday nights - take a look at this Canadian show. Perhaps you'll be hooked and want to venture into Paradise Falls.
