Somali-focused Canadian drama Shoot The Messenger premieres tonight

[Duchess]

Debuting Monday, the serialized show follows Levesque’s character Daisy as she witnesses and then investigates the murder of a young Somali man.

“We’ve got the attorney general and we’ve got a group of young Somali men, so we took the barest piece of the Rob Ford stuff and that inspired us,” said Sutherland.

For a first episode pilot, it was good. Quality productions, good writing, and acting (except for the 'Somali' mother and Imam).
You can watch the show on CBC's website.

The actress who plays the mother is Karen Robinson
