Jordan said: You'd think if this show (Da Vinci¹s Inquest)
survived that long, it would've translated into some kind of
impact in Canadian noir writing. Someone must've thought
there was a market for this kind of story. It wasn't that big
of a hit, though, even up here. I suppose foreign markets,
obscure cable, government subsidies, Canadian content rules,
and hope for a big breakthrough kept it alive.

I was a Cold Squad fan. And talk about the ultimate bleak
ending. They were a bit rough their first year, finding their
feet, but by season 3 were well into their stride. I think I
was optimistic that the show could make it and help push the
market in that direction.
As to your other comments, I¹d say any truly noir person
would never send out Christmas cards or New Year¹s wishes.
All that peace on earth and goodwill to man stuff has no
place in noir.
But it¹s only when you embrace hope that you open the door to
the possibility of utter despair. Otherwise you can¹t
experience futility and loss, and it¹s harder to justify your
bleak disposition, imo.
