Durham County is a one-hour Canadian dramatic television series produced by Back Alley Film Productions Ltd. and Muse Entertainment Enterprises. It starred Hugh Dillon as Mike Sweeney, a homicide detective who finds that moving back home comes with trouble and danger. Dillon appeared in this series at the same time he appeared in an ongoing role in another series, Flashpoint.
The series stars Hugh Dillon, as Mike Sweeney, a homicide detective from Toronto who moves his family to suburban Durham County, to start over after his partner was killed and his wife Audrey (Hélène Joy) diagnosed with breast cancer. However, he soon discovers that his neighbour, and childhood nemesis Ray Prager (Justin Louis), may be a serial killer.
Set amidst the landscape of a newer suburban development, the mise-en-scène conveys a palpable sense of alienation, like being cut off from the rest of the world. With shiny hydro towers looming on the skyline, everything appears without history, and homogeneity pervades the neighbourhoods. In this setting, we deal with the aftermath of a serial killer’s impact on his family, his surviving victims and their families. The question is how do the families move on after being so traumatized by the heinous acts of a killer.
The series premiered on The Movie Network and Movie Central in May 2007. After more than a year, the second season aired in the fall of 2009. The third and final season aired in the fall of 2010. The first season subsequently aired on Global in the 2007-2008 television season. In Canada, the first season came out on DVD on September 9, 2008; and, the second season was released on July 27, 2010.
