The series is as good as it needs to be, and maybe a little better.

Burden of Truth is an anomaly for The CW, but a good one to have. In that respect, thanks, Canada. And don't let those high tariffs dissuade you from importing more of the same.

After spending four years hilariously miscast as a detective on The CW's Beauty & the Beast, Kreuk is quite fine in Burden of Truth.
