I have been watching See, its about a post-apocalyptic society that has lost the ability of sight. Jason Mamoa leads
a tribe and fosters 2 children with the ability to see. The filming location is fantastic and the fight scenes are amazing.

Started and finished the three seasons of The Handmaid's Tale on Crave. Definitely worth a watch IMO. Season 4 is starting/coming out this month.

Add Q: Into The Storm as one of the best and most infuriating must-see documentaries.

I'm building a list.

Just finished season 1 of Harley Quinn, and it's fantastic. Both Bane and Kiteman steal any scene they're in

I just finished that. The most ironic part is decrying freedom of speech while suing somebody for libel.

The whole movement drips of hypocrisy and lazy thinking. They'll never accept they were played.

And then two of them were elected to government. The insanity that keeps on giving.

See...I dont even know about that.

Ordinarily I'd likely agree with you, but with Q? I dont even know if I could give them the Intellectual Credit of 'lazy thinking.'

I'm personally more inclined to paint the entire thing with the broadest brush possible and just consider them all criminally stupid.

Dumber than Pig s###.

The final episode of Kim's Convenience aired last night. Would have been great to see them get to finish it on their own terms but was still pretty satisfying. If you want/need a bit a wholesome comedy with great characters I'd suggest you check it out.

This season flew by. Was there any reason given why they cut it short when they originally had a sixth season (or more) ordered?

Is Kim's worth watching? I assumed it was nowhere near the level of Schitts Creek, and below Corner Gas. But that was just my perception from ads.

I have never seen it, but have heard really good things about it. But, I didn't think Schitts was a great as everyone else.


If you need a Canadian show look no further than Mr. D

I believe a few of the creators/writers left the show so they decided not to continue it.

I'd say Schitts was better but maybe because they were able to end it on their own terms tell all the character's stories. I think it's much better than Corner Gas.

I just blasted through the first 2 seasons of Friends From College. Fantastic if you’re in the the 40s demographic.

Kim's Convenience is a pretty good show but definitely not at the exact same level of Schitt's Creek.

Another fun Canadian show is Cavendish. It reminds me of another show called "Gravity Falls" (not a Canadian show...it's a cartoon but really good!)

I always like how Bill Burr called Boston the racist San Francisco.
