User Reviews
Cardinal is a Canadian serial killer crime drama that follows a weathered detective who falls on a case that force him to confront his demons. Its the murder of a young girl, found in an abandoned mine years after going missing... a case he failed to resolve and that dampened his career, but now has another chance to redeem himself and catch the girls killer. The show has an aura of sorrow, a bitter taste of despair and a cold perception into the human psyche. The characters are well cast, the story is evasively intriguing (with a condemning underlying plot).
way too much torture porn. Characters and plot are good but can't do the torture. gross.
