Carter is a Canadian television crime comedy-drama series created by
Garry Campbell, which premiered on May 15, 2018 on Bravo Canada.[1]
The series stars Jerry O'Connell as Harley Carter, the Canadian star of a
hit American television detective series who returns to his hometown to
rethink his life after having a public meltdown on the red carpet at an
awards show, but finds that his old friends and neighbours can no longer
separate him from his television persona and keep asking him to
investigate real cases.[2]
The cast also includes Sydney Tamiia Poitier (billed as Sydney Poitier
Heartsong) as Carter's childhood friend and police officer Sam Shaw,
Kristian Bruun as streetwise truck stop owner Dave Leigh, as well as
Brenda Kamino, John Bourgeois and Sherry Miller. It was produced by
Amaze Film and Entertainment, and shot in North Bay, Ontario in 2017.
[3]

The series was renewed for a second season, which will air on CTV.[4].

Broadcast[edit]
The series is slated to air on AXN in Europe, Asia, Africa and the
Americas,[5] and on UKTV in the United Kingdom.[6]
A few weeks after the season premiere on Bravo, Bell Media announced
that the series will receive a second window run on terrestrial CTV
stations in the summer.[7]
In the United States, WGN America acquired the airing rights in June
2018.[8] The series premiered on the network on August 7, 2018.
Reception[edit]
Amy Glynn from Paste Magazine called the show "cheeky, sardonic, and
emotionally forward, with strong relationships between characters who
generally have a humorous angle and tend to be pretty well-developed.".
[9]

The show received a negative review with Canadian television critic,

John Doyle of The Globe and Mail calling the show "inelegantly made
tomfoolery". He poked fun at other media sources being hung up on the
star of the show, Jerry O'Connell, instead of critiquing the quality of the
show itself. In short, he said, "When it comes to Canadian TV, the term
"exacting standards" doesn't apply."[10]
The LA Times reviewer Lorraine Ali remarked "The show’s hour-long
episodes are generally pretty entertaining, thanks to the charm and
timing of O’Connell" concluding that the show "isn’t a gag a minute, or
super edgy or the TV comedy that will beat “Veep’s” Emmy record. It is,
however, an easy-to-watch satire with just the right balance of smart
jokes for silly situations." [11]
