Quick Facts Cover Me, Genre ...

Premise

The Ottawa Citizen described the series as, "A clear-eyed, right-wing, steak-and-potatoes Calgary Mountie is teamed up with a tempestuous, sophisticated, chain-smoking Montreal séparatiste, who also happens to be a CSIS agent. They fight international terrorism when not fighting each other."[1]

Cast

Production

The series was the first production from Serendipity films, which was formed by Montreal-native Robert Lantos when he sold Alliance to Atlantis to form Alliance Atlantis.[2]

Reception

Richard Helm of The Edmonton Journal described the series as "laughably awful", adding that "...Cover Me also stands as a cautionary tale about what can happen when a broadcaster wades into a populist TV genre with which it's totally unfamiliar."[3]
