Run the Burbs

Had high hopes for this show after noting the disastrous CBC "Strays".

Episode 1 greeted me with over acting, weak script and the irritating characters which is not good to it being largely from the Pham family.

And it hasn't gotten any better.

It does check some boxes: ✅ Diversity ✅Less white people (a triumph for some people) ✅Homosexuality Can a show succeed while pushing an agenda? Likely.

But it's the writing and the direction to over react to every day situations that's pulls this show down.

Kim's Convenience wasn't just good, it was excellent and realistic. People could relate. It also touched many times of the Korean culture.

It also appeared to not be worried of having an agenda but just being funny and at times educational.

I may work my way back to Run the Burbs and give it a second look....but it needs help.
