Character-driven drama, 19-2 revolves around the day-to-day life of two
unwilling partners of the Montreal Police Department, Officers Nick
Barron and Ben Chartier. These two beat cops patrol the urban sprawl of
downtown's 19th district, in cruiser No. 2. 19-2 is about the tensions
and bonds that develop between two incompatible men of very different
temperaments and life experiences. Over time, Nick and Ben's mistrust
and antagonism for each other give way to moments of mutual respect and a
wavering chance at a true partnership. As Season 1 progresses, we also
get to know the tight-knit squad of 19. We see friendship and enmity,
loyalty and betrayal. The series delivers in portraying the
unpredictability and fragility of the world of a beat cop through
moments of life-threatening intensity to its characters, both on and off
duty, cementing 19-2 as a powerful character study and a gripping
police drama.
