Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

tabaniacrockett I really wanted to like a show featuring ethnic characters. But for the most part the characters themselves are as typical as it gets: The dizzy mom. The crotchety neighbor, who thinks he's the most knowledgeable & reasonable person on earth. The bigot with a heart. The dad who always manages to step in in. And so on...The situations are fairly contrived, really like any sitcom. But it was mindless so I watched a couple seasons on Hulu. Finally they added a new character and story line that was a deal- breaker for me. Conniving, holier-than-thou (literally), hateful.When this new character was added I forced myself to finish one episode. I started another but couldn't last 5 minutes. At this point, for me, the show went from mindless, harmless fluff to unwatchable.

Sarah Simmons I enjoyed the first three seasons, and put up with the corny lines and plots because I like the chemistry of the actors playing characters with stories you want to see unfold (like Aamar and Rayyan). The actors are good contrary to what people are saying here. However, by the fourth season I got sick of the poor writing and the stinky directing. I am sick of the melodrama and the prejudice agenda as well which oozes everywhere. This show is about as anti-Christian as it gets. Every Christian character is either a right wing bigot or a left wing idiot. No joke. I enjoyed watching the discussion of cultural differences, but Muslims are not always right and Christians are not always nut jobs. For example the show is accepting about showing a Christian leaving their faith to become Muslim, but just the opposite reception happens when the shoe is on the other foot. This is tolerance? They screwed up a loving 30+ year marriage of two committed people because an actor had to leave. Death would have been truer to the characters from a writer's perspective because in the real world people with moral values (whether Christian or Muslim) do not just end a long-lasting loving marriage because of a few challenges. Not worth watching 6 seasons!

goldenstar2 Just because we live in Canada does CBC believe they are obliged to torture us with this unmitigated rubbish, I think their PC agenda is shining through! I can think of hundreds of good Canadian ideas for a comedy, this garbage is not up to par! I admit I have only viewed one episode and found the acting lame, the jokes tired etc. etc., unfortunately, as I live on the prairies there are no cliffs to jump over to escape Canadian television, I will just have to tune into some US garbage! CBC have defiled a wonderfully good series "Little House on the Prairie"; great actors and good story lines. I am amazed that CBC have not learned over the years the type of shows that would be of interest to Canadians, we have such a wonderful and diverse history surely you can come up with something? CBC please burn this series!

seneyt-2 The show jumped the shark when they changed Anglican clergy. The current actor, with no negative reflection on his ability, is too antagonistic and the Anglican priest is made into a 'cartoon'. He wears his collar all the time and even the most staunch Anglican clergy I know at least take their off to shower ;-) Although I'm not Anglican, I hold a doctorate in Anglican studies, have taken courses at Anglican colleges and hold theological degrees from United, Anglican and Full Gospel colleges, including a PhD in theology. The absence of Carl Rota is another downer. Corner Gas, Canada's other giant contribution to humour, knew when to call it quits at the top of their game. In spite of the excellent acting, the story line has grown stale and it may be time to pull the plug. (I don't think this has a spoiler, but I checked the box just in case).
