Erin Krakow stars in the locally shot When Calls the Heart.
A lot of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror TV series tend to be filmed in Vancouver.
But as we approach the holiday season, this week’s roundup tends to turn to a lighter look at what life has to offer.
Mind you, there are some dark undertones among them all.
One project is about marine biologists trying to understand an unusual aquatic woman who has come ashore.
Another one involves a traditionally serious and sensitive subject—but it’s given a comedic treatment by an Oscar-winning director.
But there are also two romantic series that sound rather similar: both are adaptation of books, and both follow a woman from the bright lights of the big city to the warm hearts of small towns.
Yet, with annual festive preparations, is not appropriate to be discussing a few laughs, a few loves—and a few mermaids?
Okay, so maybe not that last one. But you get the idea. Hopefully.
See you after the jump.
