The Stranger (2020)
I really liked this concept.
Hanna John-Kamen who just left the Canadian show "KILLJOYS" is brilliant. She makes no bones about it that she is out for the blackmail money. A really good watch.
Save Me (2017)
I love this show
You can see this on the CBC GEM app. It is funny and shows you the injury that leads up to people calling for emergency services. Fab Fillipo wrote, created it and directed it.
He is brilliant as Goldie, the paramedic and what he has to put up with on a daily basis. The supporting cast is well known Canadian actors. Each episode is only about 5 minutes and is brilliant. Very funny and clever. I love this show!
Great job Fab! Congrats on your Canadian Screen Award nomination.
Hey Lady! (2020)
Brilliant!
What people don't know is that seniors have a 30 year old brain. This show makes you realize that old people are young in their brain and heart. Jayne is a Canadian icon and is perfectly cast as a cantankerous old biddy.
Her character shakes things up by making people know that old people know swear words, and have a mind of their own, and they speak out!
I loved this show. A true representation of the elderly that deserves respect!
The next time you see an old person, you should ask if they need help, and they can probably tell you how to fix your computer, or android.
Monarchy with David Starkey (2004)
I love this series.
David Starkey is informative and has a true knowledge of the monarchy history. I enjoyed watching and have bought the videos and watch it often. I am not to clear on the vikings, but from the war of the roses onward it is really good.
Still Game (2002)
The best gem on TV
I found this on Netflix. This has been the best show I have ever watched on TV, so much so, I have uploaded all the screen grabs on in this series to IMDb. I get the accent as most Canadians would, as a lot of our grandparents came from there at the turn of the century. Witty, funny, and charming characters, with their own backstories. No show on has scored a 9 out of 10 as this has. Just brilliant!
The Wire (2002)
A sad disappointment
I really wanted to watch this, but without subtitles, I did not know what they were saying and was sadly disappointed that they could not have made this show more English friendly.
See (2019)
Give it a chance.
People seem to focus on the obvious, yes, they are blind. Now move on. This is great storytelling. Stephen Knight is a masterful storyteller, and has taken to weave an intriguing family story into a story of overcoming a handicap. The children are sighted and can help the group to survive. It was slow at first, but the third episode was really well done. Lots of action, and I can't wait for the next one.
This is Momoa's third Canadian production, ('Frontier' as Declan Harp, 'Braven' as Joe Braven) and is brilliant in all three of them.
I think viewers should watch it to the end before leaving a negative review. This show goes from strength to strength as it goes along. A star like Momoa does not choose to do bad shows, neither does Tantoo Cardinal (Dances with Wolves, and was bestowed with the "Order of Canada" for her lifetime work in the promotion of First Nation People), so lets wait for it to unfold before we bash it.
The cinematography is good, the acting is good and the locations are good.
Stephen Knight who worked with Tom Hardy in Taboo and Peaky Blinders has seen the talent in Momosa and is working it.
Let's just calm down and watch it all before making a judgement on it. OK?
Zomboat! (2019)
It's a fun distraction.
It's a funny romp, and a distraction from drama. Take it as it is, a funny comedy about clueless mlilenials who don't know what the hell is going on. I really enjoy it and I love the references to the poorly made Walking Dead.
Batwoman (2019)
Does Batwoman have to be a lesbian?
I think when the original comic was written., it did not include a focus on the woman's love life. Wow, just wow. Who cares about your sexual orientation? I had so much hope for this series, but if continues to focus on her love life, the legacy is gone and after 2 episodes, I'm gone too.
Stranger Things (2016)
I don't get it
I watched the first series and at the end it was just stupid. Much ado about nothing. The kids in the series wanted $50.00 per autograph at Fan Expo, and I think this is a flash in the pan. In a few years we won't remember who they are.

Carnival Row (2019)
Lost Girl copy
The Canadian show "Lost Girl" covered all of this. Albeit this is a "Murdoch Mysteries" version. It is quite good. FAE was originated in "Lost Girl" meaning Fairies And Elves, it covered the spectrum of Trolls, Dwarfs, Giants, Witches, and anything else that was a human cross over. Way too much sex and swearing in this and I was hoping that a young person could have watched it. But, a sign of the times.
Still Game: Over the Hill (2019)
Goodbye Craiglang
What a sweet ending to a superb comedy. I will truly miss the old gang. I will watch the dvd's for years to come. Gone but never forgotten.
Small Fortune (2019)
Over the top host
I love the concept of the miniatures. Almost everyone is fascinated when they see them. The show has a great concept and it should be more popular than it is.
The problem may be the host Dermot O'Leary. The dancing, singing and hugging is just a bit too much, and perhaps a suit wouldn't be out of the question. Then again, it may be what he is told to do. It's just a bit annoying and distracting.
Tipping Point (2012)
I love this show!
The questions are easy, Ben Shepherd is a good host. The tension kills me when I am waiting for that counter to topple over the edge. It's a great show to watch in the day. £10,000 with the possibility of doubling it is a huge amount for the winner.
However, a live audience would make it more exciting.
Last of the Summer Wine (1973)
The Best Britcom ever!
It was aired in Canada a long time ago. I decided to buy the full series and I was not disappointed. I love the characters, and the situations. It is brilliant! My daughter and I watch the dvd's together and we laugh so much.We love the props they use in every episode. We love Foggy, Compo and Cleggy. Just a brilliant show!
