Together, they investigate puzzling crimes, from a kidnapping which reveals a much larger conspiracy at play to an art theft murder which runs deep into the world of high society. With Charlie’s deft detective work and Rex’s keen canine senses, this crime-fighting pair is unstoppable.Hudson and Rex is a Canadian police procedural drama television series, based on the Austrian and Italian drama Inspector Rex, which premiered on Citytv on March 25, 2019.

Put on a Prison Bus: Most of the culprits get arrested at the end of each case, though a few occasionally make a return appearance while they're serving their prison sentence. | |

The Heart | |
| Hudson and Rex / int_1badfb3a | comment |
The Heart: Rex, being a dog, is physically incapable of hating anyone even the most hardened criminals. Though he will case down and attack threats to his people, his first concern is always caring for those who need his help more than fighting and he feels most deeply when someone he's responsible for gets hurt. | |

Hollywood Law | |
| Hudson and Rex / int_3322dd48 | comment |
Hollywood Law: While dogs have worked with police since their inception, it's questionable to say the least whether or not a dog would legally be allowed to be a detective's official partner. Addressed in universe during episode 2 when some other, more junior police officers make an official complaint about Rex working with the Major Crimes Division putting Rex's job (and potentially life) in jeopardy. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Hudson and Rex / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Hudson is not a trained K9 Handler. Rex, being a dog, is tied in to the emotional responses of his human and reacts accordingly and sometimes aggressively even to non-dangerous threats. He and Hudson work well together, but that is only because Rex is abnormally intelligent. Hudson asks a fellow officer who is a trained K9 handler for advice on how to improve in this area. A human being, no matter how acrobatically gifted, cannot outrun a full grown German Shepherd. Especially not when said German Shepherd has police training. Rex is an abnormally capable police dog, but he's still a dog; a few problems crop up from his inability to verbally communicate and the fact that he can't open doors. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |

Bait-and-Switch: In one episode, Donovan believes his daughter Camilla may be on drugs and has Charlie and Rex investigate. Later, they, along with Sarah, find Camilla meeting another girl in secret and assume that the other girl is a drug dealer. However, it turns out that this is Camilla's girlfriend. Another bait-and-switch occurs right after; Charlie initially assumes that Camilla's secretive behaviour is because she hasn't come out to her father. Turns out, Donovan is aware of her sexuality; Camilla had previously agreed to avoid serious dating until she was done with high school and wanted to keep her relationship private. | |

Cerebus Retcon: Donovan's paranoia about his daughter Camilla's possible drug use in the third episode is Played for Laughs, but in episode 12, it's revealed that Camilla's mother is a recovering addict, making Donovan's fears come off as a lot more justified and a lot more chilling. | |

Shoo Out the New Guy: Season 5 introduces Dr. Karma Poole, Sarah's new assistant who previously kept getting transferred to a new department after a brief adjustment period, alleviating Sarah's handling of SJPD's forensics by herself. The narrative didn't do much with her, so she is jettisoned out of the series in Season 6, when it's briefly mentioned that she was transferred to Halifax. | |

Running Gag | |
| Hudson and Rex / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Almost Once an Episode, someone will point out that Charlie either can't or shouldn't bring Rex into various areas. He always ignores them, usually justifying this by pointing out that Rex is a police animal. The only place where he actually follows this rule is the forensics lab (which is justified, since Rex could potentially contaminate evidence). | |
