You know those sports teams that are actually quite bad but one or two players make it a playoff team? Yeah, that's what Kim's Convenience is like. The vast majority of the jokes are lame and half-assed, cringy versions of things that the Office and Parks & Recreation, and frankly I had absolutely no care for a lot of the characters. That's not a hit at the actors, I thought they were fine. But I always kept coming back for Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as "Appa" and Jean Yoon as "Umma". Those two were awesome. The other characters had no flair or uniqueness to make them memorable. Eventually I stopped watching out of boredom.
The worst sin of this show isn't it's fault so I won't judge it for it, and that is giving CBC a ton of confidence. Now CBC is crapping out terrible sitcoms left and right, and I have to see those cringe advertisements while I'm trying to watch a hockey game. "Run the Burbs?" "Hiccups and Hookups?" Oh my gosh you can tell how bad those are just by the title let alone having to watch ad after ad. Yeah CBC has some shows here and there, I really like Heartland, but CBC just needs to stop please. Sorry I had to get this out and I was not gonna watch those shows just to leave a review. Anyways Kim's Convenience is fine, great background show, but I wish I could always get more of Appa and just Appa.
