Meet Jake Doyle – rogue, charmer, drinker, brawler, emotionally unavailable, immature – and the handsome P.I. hero of Republic of Doyle. Jake (Allan Hawco) is a new breed of private investigator, cracking cases – and the occasional head – in contemporary St. John’s, Newfoundland. His hometown is changing in a big way, transforming from a small seaport to a booming oil town, and where there’s cash, there’s trash – and lots of it. With his father and partner-in-crime-solving Malachy Doyle (Sean McGinley) by his side, Jake is ready to take on whatever mystery turns up on the Doyle doorstep.

The 3-DVD set includes all Season One complete episodes, plus a behind-the-scenes “making of” feature and episode commentaries by exec producers, producer and writer/creator.

Republic of Doyle combines the retro cool crime vibe of classic investigative shows like Rockford Files with the contemporary dramatic/comedic edge of Rescue Me and Californication, producing a blend of intriguing episodic mysteries woven with the always evolving (and sometimes regressing) relationship turmoil and dynamics of the fiery Doyle clan. This one-hour comic drama takes a peek into the lives of a not-so-everyday family with problems trying to make it all work as they run a very uncommon family business — a gumshoe racket in St. John’s, Newfoundland — out of a very full house.
