    The plots are complex enough to sustain mystery, and if the mean streets of Toronto aren't all that scary, this is a good thing for a show that is trying not to shock, but to entertain.

    In a word, The Listener is boring. Or, if you prefer alliteration, listless.

    Actually, it's really just more of a bore (bore ... bore).

If they calm the two women down I think this show just might work.… Expand
