In related Canadian TV news: Kim Coates has a New Show Called Bad Blood/Is Generally Lovely
Click to viewBad Blood (CITY-TV stations, Thursday, 8 p.m.) is a six-part original series starring Anthony LaPaglia as Montreal mobster Vito Rizzuto. Based on the book Business or Blood: Mafia Boss Vito Rizzuto's Last War by Antonio Nicaso and Peter Edwards. Like most Mafia/crime family dramas, Bad Blood is about more than crime, corruption and mayhem. It's about peace and orderly government and it's about family dynamics. Little wonder that in the movie You've Got Mail, the Tom Hanks character suggests the answers to all life's questions can be found in The Godfather.
The series moves briskly, using voice-overs and flashbacks to draw together the many strands of a sprawling tale of a business empire that had its tentacles in almost every aspect of life in Montreal. There is plenty of action, violence and it moves along with a propulsive force while maintaining, tactfully, a meditation on family, business ethics and the essence of soft power.
