With a Surrey policing transition still a very hot topic in the news, the 91裸聊视频淎llegiance91裸聊视频� creative team says the timing of the series launch is coincidental.
91裸聊视频淭he CFP is a fictionalized police force and not meant to really represent the RCMP or the Surrey Police,91裸聊视频� Wraich underlined during an interview on Zoom alongside Colantoni, series creator Anar Ali and co-showrunner Mark Ellis.
91裸聊视频淲e had officers from both forces on set 91裸聊视频� some days it was RCMP officers and others it was Surrey Police, and we liked them equally,91裸聊视频� Wraich added.
91裸聊视频淥f course we91裸聊视频檝e always been aware that this was happening with the RCMP and the police,91裸聊视频� Ali chimed in, 91裸聊视频渂ut it91裸聊视频檚 nothing that we necessarily address in our show, which is this fictional world.91裸聊视频�
With 91裸聊视频淟aw & Order91裸聊视频�-like vibes, the show focuses on 91裸聊视频渋dentity and belonging, policing and politics, and finding truth within the heart of a flawed justice system,91裸聊视频� according to a news release posted to cbc.ca.
Last fall, until just before Christmas, the first season of 91裸聊视频淎llegiance91裸聊视频� was filmed in Surrey and parts of Langley.
91裸聊视频淚t was important that we try and capture as many of the key locations of Surrey as we could,91裸聊视频� Ellis noted, 91裸聊视频渟o viewers will see Surrey Central Library, city hall, our cops will be driving down King George.
91裸聊视频淲e had a great creative team that went out and captured a lot of aerials and pass-bys along streets, so we see the gurdwaras, the Payal Business Centre, we see blueberry and cranberry farms next to the reality of condos being built and auto dealerships and strip malls.91裸聊视频�
Some Surrey-specific stories also work their way into the series, according to Wraich.
91裸聊视频淲e have a storyline that centers around Whalley and the gentrification that91裸聊视频檚 happening there and we actively discuss it,91裸聊视频� the actor explained.
91裸聊视频淲e have another storyline where someone has come to the country and was taken to Surrey and we sort of recreate that journey, you know, from the airport to the place where they were in Surrey. We try to figure it out as part of our police work, in terms of when they give us clues about what bridges were crossed and, you know, where were they exactly? We discuss the landscape actually a fair bit.91裸聊视频�
Ali said she created the series with themes of restorative justice in mind, along with identity and the allegiances of immigrants, with the help of consultant Paul Dadwal, an ex-RCMP officer from Surrey.
91裸聊视频淚 was really interested in exploring the idea of justice and the idea that our system is maybe a little bit broken right now,91裸聊视频� Ali said.
91裸聊视频淪urrey as the setting evolved through the creative process because I always start with characters and specifically, I was starting with Sabrina and her family,91裸聊视频� Ali added.
91裸聊视频淎nd so as I followed the characters, they took me to Surrey, and then I found out that it did have the, you know, largest diaspora of Sikh Punjabi people in the world. And I knew about the long history of the Sikh Punjabi community in B.C., and it was all those factors coming together. And Surrey is just so beautiful, so that91裸聊视频檚 not a bad thing either, and there are just so many rich stories of many communities there that I thought would be great to explore.91裸聊视频�
The 91裸聊视频淎llegiance91裸聊视频� creative team and actors will return here for a kickoff screening of the show Tuesday, Feb. 6, at Surrey City Hall. The invite-only event, planned in partnership with Surrey-based , will involve a Q&A with cast and crew.
91裸聊视频淲hile we were shooting the show,91裸聊视频� Wraich said, 91裸聊视频渋t was just such an arduous shoot that we didn91裸聊视频檛 get to see as much of Surrey as we would like to. Going back, it91裸聊视频檒l be nice to appreciate, you know, some of the restaurants as opposed to locations because I will say that our production design team did such a good job, sometimes I didn91裸聊视频檛 realize the real place that we were at.
91裸聊视频淭he people of Surrey, whenever we were shooting, would stop and ask what we were doing,91裸聊视频� the actor added. 91裸聊视频淭here was a real pride to have a show based in Surrey and two, that it was about the Sikh Punjabi community that lives there. I think it91裸聊视频檚 exciting to make a show that91裸聊视频檚 representative of that community.91裸聊视频�
