The last outing for "Flashpoint" also marked the biggest audience for a Canadian drama in a decade, since "Due South," another homegrown crime drama from CTV, aired on CBS during the 1990s. "Flashpoint," which is set in Toronto and features Canadian actors, also drew 10.38 million viewers for CBS on Friday night, compared with 10.1 million viewers a week earlier on Jan. 12.
