Never before have television cameras had unlimited access to the police that patrol Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, one of the most controversial neighborhoods in North America. The Beat is a ten-part docu-soap series that presents a gritty, behindthe-scenes look at the challenges faced by The Beat Enforcement Team's Squad Three, as they tirelessly work to maintain order in a community crippled by poverty, drug addiction and mental illness.
Drawn from hundreds of hours of footage, shot night and day over six full months, The Beat captures every corner and crevasse of the Downtown Eastside's 12 square blocks. See rooming house raids, undercover sting operations, stakeouts, petty thieves and major drug gangs being brought to justice in a neighborhood that's home to an estimated 5,000 hardcore drug users and a population with the highest HIV infection rate in the developed world. The Beat also offers a glimpse at the officers away from their daily patrols, where the rigors of work are balanced with the pleasures of family life.
theres 7 episodes available so far i believe.. just check the side youtube videos on the link
holy crap. part 2 of that episode... you can feel the lady officer's loss of emotion when she sees the body... she knows she needs to get the job done, but seeing a dead body IRL like that must really take a toll on her (And anyone)
Maria doesn't seem cut out to be a cop, I can imagine by now what a strain it can be on her personality. She's probably totally different now.
She wasn't exactly a rookie when she joined the VPD, the show could be slightly dramatized. None the less, it's a great series.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
Thanks for the link to the rest of the episodes, been watching this the first week it came out. Now I don't have to wait another week for the newer episodes.
