Yesterday I witnessed something really special in terms of TV shows. In the first episode of the season two of a dramatic TV series made in Quebec, called 19-2, the main characters (two cops) intervene during a High School shooting (the 1 hour episode is mostly based around this event).

Apart from the realism Podz (the director) is known for, this episode is prodigious for one other reason: the use of a 13 minutes uncut Steadicam shot of the cops arriving at the crime scene and intervening while the shooter is still taking down victims.

I wanted to share. While the show is based in French, you probably wouldn't have a hard time understanding what they're talking about during that scene (them mostly asking "where are the f***ing backups").

You can catch the official streaming here: http://ici.tou.tv/19-2/S02E01

P.S.: Viewer discretion is advised. The 13 minutes shot is between 9:15 and 22:15. Also, you'll probably need a proxy, as I think the website is limited to Canada only. If I happen to find another link, or one that includes subtitles, I'll let you guys know.



Edit: title updated. English language version avaiblable here: http://www.free-tv-video-online.me/internet/19-2/

#19deux I watch a lot of American TV. This episode was easily the best TV I have ever seen. Still biting my nails.

Correction: Most intense TV I've seen anywhere. Really disconcerting single camera portrayal of a high school shooting. #19deux

That was nerve-wrecking. And all of it through one single camera lense. Wow. #19deux

Good news.

The show has been adapted into English language, and the school shooutout episode has just aired on Monday.

If you just wanna have a look at the said episode, go to this site ( http://www.free-tv-video-online.me/internet/19-2/ ) and view Season 2 Episode 1. The long take in question is from approx. 7:25 to 20:20. The full episode is worth watching, though.

And if you're really interested in the show, and want to watch season 1 too, I suggest you pick the videos that are hosted on vidxden.com . Video quality is top notch. I didn't look into all of season 1, but it seems like they done a good job in being faithful to the original show, which is amazing.

All of season 1 (which aired last year) is available. I expect the episodes 2-10 of season 2 to come over every week during the next 9 weeks. Season 3 (final) should probably air next year.
