"We have cities that can pass off as anywhere in the world."

Well not really. I still remember that one show that hilariously tried to pass off Vancouver as San Francisco. Or the show that took place in South Carolina but the landscape was oddly devoid of characteristic palmettos. I guess Ontario is a bit short on palmettos.

American shows shot in Canada end up looking like Anywhere, USA. Boring. I much prefer shows like Bloodline, which was set in the Florida Keys and shot in the Florida Keys. In a good TV series, the location is a character in its own right.
