Allan Hawco And 'Caught'... Some fan information.

Allan Hawco's new television series 'Caught' adapted from Lisa Moore's book has finished on CBC Canada to great reviews. Recently it was announced the series has been renewed for a second season.

While I was unable to watch the television series as the content was not available outside of Canada, I was able to read the award winning book from which the story was successfully adapted by Allan Hawco. And what a fabulous book it was too. I was also able to follow the making of the series from it's original conception, to the completion and screening on social media and through the traditional media.

I have always admired Allan Hawco for his role in creating the television series 'Republic of Doyle', about a private detective and his family and friends in St. John's, Newfoundland and the series 'Frontier' about the early fur trade in eastern Canada. I also admire Allan for his love and loyalty to Newfoundland, and his efforts to create a thriving and profitable arts scene and in particular television industry in Newfoundland.

Another reason I really admire Allan is that he is always willing to engage in respectful discussion about things in his productions that may offend some fans such as the swearing on 'Frontier' without getting offended and blocking people. I was lucky enough to meet Allan when I went to St. John's, Newfoundland and he was generous and kind.

So it is with great interest I have written this post about what information is about on this new production for fans. I found some great websites, beautifully filmed episode trailers, and some great interviews and reviews.

In the past I have been able to find pirated episodes of Allan Hawco's new series such as 'Frontier' on YouTube but CBC Canada seems to have step up it's monitoring and pirates have moved to streaming services which I am not willing to access. Hopefully this series will be available for purchase digitally soon where all good television content is sold.
