The cast also included Karen Hines, Tom McCamus, Arsinée Khanjian, Larissa Laskin, Kim Huffman and Rebecca Jenkins. Episodes included "Evil", in which Findlay went to Kosovo to make a documentary on the Kosovo War but strove to sensationalize it for ratings, and "Celebrity", in which a group of public relations consultants were tasked with publicizing the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The series received a Gemini Award nomination for Best Dramatic Series at the 17th Gemini Awards in 2002. Finkleman's next project for the CBC was the television movie Escape from the Newsroom.
