Series overview
Nick Barron and his partner Jean-Pierre Harvey are shot responding to a burglary. While Barron is spared by his body armour, Harvey is shot in the head and left hospitalized for life. Replacing Harvey is Ben Chartier, a veteran constable from the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), who transferred to Montreal to escape troubles in his hometown. As officers from Station 19 deal with the challenges of police work, they struggle with their challenges as well. Chartier is estranged from his family after he personally arrests his own father for drunk driving. Barron struggles with his continuing feelings for his estranged wife, colleague Detective Isabelle Latendresse. Tyler Joseph struggles with alcoholism. Jean-Marc Brouillard abuses his wife. Commander Marcel Gendron struggles to protect the station's image in the face of pressure from the public and his superiors alike. By the end of the first season, Chartier's former employer, the SQ, assigns him to find a mole within the station.
The second season begins with Barron and Chartier responding to reports of a snake at a daycare centre. Chartier encounters an armed civilian: Barron's cousin Cassius Clemont. Barron's unsavoury relationship with Clemont makes Barron the prime suspect of the SQ's investigation into the mole in 19. When Chartier brings Barron into the investigation, Barron and Clemont burgle a suspect's house and make a rash decision that endangers both of them. The third season starts in the aftermath of the mole's suicide. The reputation of Station 19 has been destroyed by the revelation of the mole, along with other incidents such as the arrest of Brouillard for domestic violence. Cassie Clemont is discovered dead, having been brutally tortured for days. Barron and Chartier must deal with the fallout of Barron's actions, as the station is scrutinized by an inspector from Internal Affairs.
The series features a fourth season that was not based on the 2011 French version and is completely original, containing 8 additional episodes.

Smith and directed by Louis Choquette.{{cite web |url=http://playbackonline.ca/2012/07/20/cbc-orders-three-more-pilots-port-hope-19-2-and-the-khouris/ |title=CBC orders three more pilots, Port Hope, 19-2 and The Khouris |date=July 20, 2012 |last=Vlessing |first=Etan |publisher=Playback |access-date=August 31, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170902090832/http://playbackonline.ca/2012/07/20/cbc-orders-three-more-pilots-port-hope-19-2-and-the-khouris/ |archive-date=September 2, 2017 }}{{cite web |url=https://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/english-version-of-quebec-cop-show-19-2-being-made-for-cbc |title=English version of Quebec cop show 19-2 being made for CBC |work=Montreal Gazette |last=Kelly |first=Brendan |date=August 22, 2012 |access-date=August 31, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161022060931/http://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/english-version-of-quebec-cop-show-19-2-being-made-for-cbc |archive-date=October 22, 2016 }} CBC Television did not pick up the series for its 2013 season; instead, the adapted series was picked up by Bravo for a season of ten episodes in June 2013 at the Banff World Media Festival, with Smith serving as showrunner.{{cite web |url=https://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/english-adaptation-of-19-2-bounces-from-cbc-to-bravo |title=English adaptation of 19-2 bounces from CBC to Bravo |work=Montreal Gazette |last=Kelly |first=Brendan |date=June 12, 2013 |access-date=August 31, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161022060957/http://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/english-adaptation-of-19-2-bounces-from-cbc-to-bravo |archive-date=October 22, 2016 }} The series was renewed for a second season in April 2014, a third in April 2015, and a fourth in May 2016.

Filming for the series took place in Montreal, primarily at a decommissioned police station.{{cite web |url=https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/entertainment/TV/canadian-cop-drama-goes-out-with-a-bang-401917995.html |title=Canadian cop drama goes out with a bang |work=Winnipeg Free Press |last=Oswald |first=Brad |date=November 19, 2016 |access-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170917191802/https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/entertainment/TV/canadian-cop-drama-goes-out-with-a-bang-401917995.html |archive-date=September 17, 2017 }}
On the show filming in Montreal, executive producer Jocelyn Deschênes stated, "CBC said – 'We want to see Montreal'. They asked for it. Montreal hasn't been shown that much on English-Canadian TV and it's a very cinematic city. They really want us to show Montreal from angles that we've never seen." Production on the pilot took place at the end of September 2012, for ten days, while production on the remaining episodes began in September 2013, and concluded in December.{{cite web |url=https://theprovince.com/entertainment/movies/actor-pals-adrian-holmes-and-jared-keeso-mix-it-up-for-tv-cop-drama-19-2 |title=Actor pals Adrian Holmes and Jared Keeso mix it up for TV cop drama 19-2 |work=The Province |last=Schaefer |first=Glen |date=January 28, 2014 |access-date=August 31, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170903115301/http://theprovince.com/entertainment/movies/actor-pals-adrian-holmes-and-jared-keeso-mix-it-up-for-tv-cop-drama-19-2 |archive-date=September 3, 2017 }}
Production on the second season began in July 2014 until October.

The scene, which was shot in the same school as the original, involved intense research and rehearsal, at least a half-dozen rooms, a two-storey building, roughly a hundred extras, and required thirteen takes.{{cite web |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/11/13/19-2-season-2-premiere-shooting-video_n_6148108.html |title='19-2' Season 2 Premiere Tackles Montreal School Shooting (Exclusive Video) |work=HuffPost Canada |last=Dowling |first=Amber |date=November 13, 2014 |access-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170901025958/http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/11/13/19-2-season-2-premiere-shooting-video_n_6148108.html |archive-date=September 1, 2017 }}{{cite web |url=https://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/television/school-shooting-sets-the-tone-of-19-2s-second-english-season |title=School shooting sets the tone of 19-2's second English season |work=Montreal Gazette |last=Kelly |first=Brendan |date=January 18, 2015 |access-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170614200900/http://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/television/school-shooting-sets-the-tone-of-19-2s-second-english-season |archive-date=June 14, 2017 }} Production on the third season began in August 2015, while filming for the fourth and final season began in September 2016.

Reception
=Audience viewership=
The premiere episode of 19-2 was watched by 140,000 viewers, making it Bravo's most-watched premiere of an original Canadian series since The Borgias in 2011. Its conventional television debut aired on CTV the following day on January 30, 2014, and was watched by 872,000 viewers.{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/rebooted-quebec-drama-19-2-676333 |title=Rebooted Quebec Drama '19-2' Has Breakthrough in English Canada |work=The Hollywood Reporter |last=Vlessing |first=Etan |date=February 1, 2014 |access-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150926200519/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/rebooted-quebec-drama-19-2-676333 |archive-date=September 26, 2015 }} The second episode was watched by a mere 76,000 viewers, which was attributed to many viewers who watched the premiere on CTV assuming the main network was its home. Due to this, Bell Media decided to air a second "special primetime" broadcast of the second episode on February 9, which led to a series-high for the show's third airing on Bravo, with 178,000 viewers tuning in. Regarding Bell Media's cross-platform promotion, Scott Henderson concluded, "It shows that the sampling works. It may have taken a few weeks to find the home, but now the series is doing well." After factoring DVR recordings, the second episode on Bravo was watched by a total of 150,000 viewers, up 96 percent from the preliminary data.{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/canadian-rookie-drama-19-2-681554 |title=Canadian Rookie Drama '19-2' Drives to Series High on Solid Sampling |work=The Hollywood Reporter |last=Vlessing |first=Etan |date=February 19, 2014 |access-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150314222524/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/canadian-rookie-drama-19-2-681554 |archive-date=March 14, 2015 }}
The first season finished as Bravo's number one new series of the 2014–15 television season, drawing an average of nearly 200,000 viewers per episode, and reaching a total of 3 million unique viewers. The second season grew its timeslot audience, 10 p.m. on Monday, by 54 percent compared to the same weeks in the previous year and over the course of the season reached a total of 2.5 million viewers.
=Critical response=
In a review for HuffPost Canada Denette Wilford wrote: "19-2 is not just your average procedural. It's a character-driven drama that follows two not-so-different men from very different worlds as they learn to work with one another. The acting is solid and organic, the pace is perfect, the writing is real and natural and believable, and the stories hit home."{{cite web |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/denette-wilford/192-review-cop-tv-show_b_4681439.html |title='19-2' Review: This Is Not Your Average Cop Show |work=HuffPost Canada |last=Wilford |first=Denette |date=January 28, 2014 |access-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170831131431/http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/denette-wilford/192-review-cop-tv-show_b_4681439.html |archive-date=August 31, 2017 }} A.R. Wilson of Digital Journal also reviewed it positively saying, "Instead of depending on constant action sequences and endless doses of adrenaline, it spaces its major crimes out, patiently mining the aftermaths of these events for compelling storylines... It's realistically written, beautifully acted, and gorgeously shot in and around Montreal. Most of all, it's a keenly observed character drama that manages to make the cop show genre feel fresh by placing people over procedural."{{cite web |url=http://www.digitaljournal.com/a-and-e/entertainment/review-deeply-human-cop-drama-19-2-returns-for-season-3/article/468116 |title=Review: Bravo's meditative cop drama '19-2' returns for Season 3 |publisher=Digital Journal |last=Wilson |first=A.R. |date=June 20, 2016 |access-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160623054758/http://www.digitaljournal.com/a-and-e/entertainment/review-deeply-human-cop-drama-19-2-returns-for-season-3/article/468116 |archive-date=June 23, 2016 }}
Phil Harrison and Gwilym Mumford for The Guardian said "This Canadian series, set in Montréal's Precinct 19, boasts all the tropes of post-Shield police dramas: antiheroes, mavericks, shaky verité camerawork. Yet what 19-2 lacks in originality it makes up for in action from the off".{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/aug/10/catch-up-tv-guide |title=Catch-up TV guide: from 19-2 to The Beer O'Clock Show |work=The Guardian |last1=Harrison |first1=Phil |last2=Mumford |first2=Gwilym |date=August 10, 2015 |access-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170707160411/https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/aug/10/catch-up-tv-guide |archive-date=July 7, 2017 }} The New York Times{{'}}s Neil Genzlinger described the series as "a slow burn" and stated, "There are tropes in 19-2 – the police genre is too crowded for there not to be – but the writing is sublime, turning each episode into a sort of tone poem, a slice of urban and police life carefully observed. The series is in the tradition of shows like The Wire, portraying law enforcement less flashily and less noisily than others, and thus more accurately."{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/18/arts/television/review-19-2-a-police-drama-on-acorn-tv-is-a-slow-burn.html |title=Review: '19-2,' a Police Drama on Acorn TV, Is a Slow Burn |work=The New York Times |last=Genzlinger |first=Neil |date=January 17, 2016 |access-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806223617/https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/18/arts/television/review-19-2-a-police-drama-on-acorn-tv-is-a-slow-burn.html |archive-date=August 6, 2017 }} Bill Brownstein of the Montreal Gazette said, "19-2 works so effectively because it grasps the reality of both conflicted cops and citizens in this city. Nothing is black and white here. Characters come in a variety of shades. All of which makes the chemistry between partners Barron and Chartier so credible and so captivating."{{cite web |url=https://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/television/19-2s-adrian-holmes-is-at-home-on-the-streets-of-montreal |title=19-2's Adrian Holmes is at home on the streets of Montreal |work=Montreal Gazette |last=Brownstein |first=Bill |date=June 17, 2016 |access-date=August 30, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160925112602/http://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/television/19-2s-adrian-holmes-is-at-home-on-the-streets-of-montreal |archive-date=September 25, 2016 }} Conversely, The Globe and Mail{{'}}s John Doyle was more critical of the series, feeling "the set-up is as plain as a poke in your eye", noting "The series flirts with grimness but points to the timidity of Canadian drama at the moment – its limitations and inability to challenge and horrify as well as entertain. Both Adrian Holmes and Jared Keeso are fine, it's the material that is less soulful and nuanced than it seems."{{cite web |url=https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/arts/television/another-cop-show-19-2-exposes-the-limits-of-canadian-tv/article16547548/ |title=Another cop show? 19-2 exposes the limits of Canadian TV |work=The Globe and Mail |last=Doyle |first=John |date=January 29, 2014 |access-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170917191802/https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/arts/television/another-cop-show-19-2-exposes-the-limits-of-canadian-tv/article16547548/ |archive-date=September 17, 2017 }}
Nancy deWolf Smith of The Wall Street Journal praised the season two premiere, "School", calling it "the most agonizingly realistic sequence imaginable of a mass shooting and the close-action chase after an active shooter." She added, "Something about the setting, and the differences – even subtle ones – in the way Canadians approach issues such as race, sex, gender and justice, also makes 19-2 exciting in a wholly new way."{{cite news |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/19-2-review-how-well-canada-does-police-drama-1463089711 |title='19-2' Review: How Well Canada Does Police Drama |work=The Wall Street Journal |last=deWolf Smith |first=Nancy |date=May 12, 2016 |access-date=August 29, 2017 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20170829031557/https://www.wsj.com/articles/19-2-review-how-well-canada-does-police-drama-1463089711 |archive-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live }} Wilford also applauded the season two opener and wrote, "Look, every hour of 19-2 is quality television and, at times, it can be a little too sombre. The premiere is like nothing you've ever seen, from the way it was shot, to every actor involved, to the subject matter... It's a powerful, compelling, exhausting hour – one that definitely should not be missed."{{cite web |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/denette-wilford/19-2-season-2-premiere-review_b_6479122.html |title='19-2' Season 2 Premiere Review: You Will Be On The Edge Of Your Seats, Guaranteed |work=HuffPost Canada |last=Wilford |first=Denette |date=January 15, 2015 |access-date=August 29, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161130100230/http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/denette-wilford/19-2-season-2-premiere-review_b_6479122.html |archive-date=November 30, 2016 }}
