Anyone watch the new season yet? I think this show has run its course. Was fun while it lasted.

Yeah. After about season 3 I’d had enough.

+1.

Could not get through season 3. Shame because the first was hilarious.

6 seasons, same running jokes. Still love it. Most of their deep dives into meaningless topics are hilarious to me. Ants on Jetskis? Ipad on top of a urinal? Brilliant stuff.

Everyone I talk to agrees: we like this show, and don't at the same time.

Apart from the meth heads I really enjoyed season 1, but have been lukewarm since. The Shoresy (?) stuff with the hockey players in season 2 (?) was pretty funny, though.

I only watch it when I hike out to camp in the mountains. I dig my phone out and make sure I’m up to date on the latest Letterkenny episode. Perfect way to spend time in the great outdoors.

I actually liked this season as it felt more honest back to the earlier seasons. I had lost some interest in season 5. So I was pleasantly surprised

The skids are what keeps me from loving this show, they're so annoying and get so much screentime

First two seasons were fantastic, season 3 was so meh that I haven't watched anything beyond it yet. I've heard it picks back up again but can't be bothered yet

It's funny but the quick cut editing is out of control. Feels like I'm watching a bad YouTube video review

I'm currently binging the show and I agree there's a love/meh thing going on. I can get through about 2 shows at a time, maybe 3 then have to call it. Just finished Season 4. So far, Season's 1 and 2 have been the best. The St. Patties Day and Halloween specials were pretty decent.

Cool that Jim Playfair's son is in it. His character is pretty hilarious.

I really enjoyed the first two seasons but like others have said I kind of lost interest in the 3rd season. I think shows like this have a shelf life as what made it initially fresh and funny stretches thin over time. That said it doesn't take away from the initial creativity and Canadian uniqueness of this show.

I know a lot of people love this show, but I could never really get into it. Never found it funny other then a couple of scenes, and those are few and far in between. Some of the writing is good. But I lasted up until S5 and am glad I moved on from it.

Overrated show IMO.

Binged watched all seasons a few weeks ago. Loved it. Brought back a lot of memories growing up in small town Northern Alberta in the 80's. Just the stupid #### we'd say and talk about. My wife, who grew up in Calgary, never really got it. A couple of jokes she'd smirk, but that's about it. Usually it was her looking at me with at wtf look on her face as I was busting a gut.
