Finkleman stars as documentary producer George Findlay, the same character he plays in his earlier series The Newsroom, More Tears and Foolish Heart.[3] Apart from Findlay, each episode focuses on a different set of characters and tells a self-contained story based on themes of human frailty and obsession.[2] The show's other main recurring character is Tibor (Colm Feore), a European acquaintance of Findlay's who is involved in drawing Findlay to the various settings in which the show's events take place.[2] The cast also includes Karen Hines, Tom McCamus, Arsinée Khanjian, Larissa Laskin, Kim Huffman and Rebecca Jenkins.[2]
Episodes include "Evil", in which Findlay goes to Kosovo to make a documentary on the Kosovo War but strives to sensationalize it for ratings, and "Celebrity", in which a group of public relations consultants are tasked with publicizing the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.[4]
The series received a Gemini Award nomination for Best Dramatic Series at the 17th Gemini Awards in 2002.[5]
Finkleman's next project for the CBC was the television movie Escape from the Newsroom.
