We had given up on watching the somewhat ridiculous CBS show called "Zoo" last year, but I noticed that one of the episodes this season was called "Caraquet". Now, Caraquet is a picturesque coastal town in northern New Brunswick near where I grew up. The episode is set in NB, so I'd have to think they'd at least looked on a map and decided this town's setting would suit their storyline. So, I decided to have a watch to see if I saw anything familiar
Nope, had nothing to do with it. First, there seemed to be some weird writer's bet on how many times they could get the actors to say "Caraquet". The filming was obviously done in BC, mountains and forests with huge trees. The people spoke english and there appeared to be a large native population and the story-line about the town being isolated and hard to reach had no roots in reality or geography.
They could have set the story about 100km north in the Gaspe Peninsula and been so much more accurate. Why bother having a setting in a real place if it's all total BS?
BTW, the people in the town had built a fence around the town and regularly put people they didn't like outside the fence for the polar bears to eat.
