Good.

I’m Canadian and there’s not enough Canadian content either.

We need to stop letting one country define almost all media consumed in the western world.

I have been watching Working Moms, it is set in Toronto iirc.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

I just watched Wolf Creek and it was good

Also Kath and Kim are amazing

[–] balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 2 weeks ago

They're all filmed in Toronto or Vancouver anyway.

Somebody get the Kates a new show!

Two awesome Australian comediennes who’ve done at least 2 tv shows.

[–] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

damn, thought i might be getting a tv show

[–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe there’s a Kate Hotline with preferential treatment?!

[–] DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you haven't tried Deadloch yet, I found it very enjoyable. Not quite the same as Katering or Get Crackin' but still fun.

[–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks! I’d missed it originally, and that trailer reminds me a bit of “A Touch Of Cloth” by Charlie Brooke’s, which is both good and bad. I’ll give it a shot!

[–] DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think they're working on the second series. Yeah, I enjoyed A Touch of Cloth initially but the jokes wore a bit thin after a while. Deadloch made me genuinely lol multiple times. I'm still waiting for get crackin season 2 to be available in the UK. Love the Kates!

[–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Nice! I don’t know why, but touch of cloth never resonated for me. Angie Tribeca I love, but Cloth seemed too at odds between tone and jokes. So off to the internets to find it!

They don't specify that the content has to be flattering.
