The crime drama Pure is now available to stream in the UK. This Canadian series, which originally aired for two seasons from 2017 to 2019, tells the story of a Mennonite pastor determined to protect his community from drug dealers.

Pure centers around Pastor Noah Funk (Ryan Robbins), who goes undercover to investigate drug-related problems impacting his community.

The show offers a look into a hidden and private world, following a well-meaning man struggling to keep his family safe and hold onto his beliefs, as described by its creators.

Viewers have given the show high marks, with one IMDb user describing it as an “outstanding series” that ended prematurely.

They raved about the show, saying everything – from the characters and story to the beautiful settings and detailed world – was truly impressive and full of depth.

Viewers praised the story as “extremely great” and “suspenseful,” with many highly recommending it as a show to watch. One person even called it a “must-watch.”

One viewer praised the show’s central idea – the fight against overwhelming negativity, and even the temptation to simply accept an ordinary life. They also highlighted the well-developed characters and strong performances, describing the overall effect as quiet but impactful.

I read a review in the Globe and Mail that really hit the nail on the head about the second season. They called it a dark, intelligent crime show, and said it had this unusual, kind of sad, anti-romantic vibe that you don’t see very often. It totally resonated with how I felt about it!

Pure originally aired on CBC, before moving to Super Channel for its second run.

The series was created by Michael Amo and features Alex Paxton-Beesley (known for Wynonna Earp), Gord Rand (Maps to the Stars), Dylan Everett (Degrassi), and Jessica Clement (Gen V).

Pure season 1 is streaming now on Prime Video in the UK.

The latest issue of Living Legends magazine is now available, and it’s a special tribute to Dolly Parton! You can find “Dolly at 80” in shops or online for only £8.99.
