Closing In On The Standing Down of Team One

CTVThis is one show I really do not want to see end, but apparently 5 seasons,  75 episodes and too many memories to count is enough for the team behind the series. Since 2008, CTV’s trailblazing series Flashpoint has entertained millions of viewers in Canada and all over the world. It has inspired an industry, paving the way for the hit Canadian series that have followed. On Thursday, December 6th and 13th at 10 p.m. ET/PT, CTV presents the much-anticipated, two-part series finale of Flashpoint, fittingly entitled “Keep the Peace”.
