Recently discovered this show as it just came to the U.S. on Hulu. From the first beat of episode one I loved it. Fast paced dialogue by all of the characters in a small town in Canada. I have tried to persuade people to watch it by describing the characters as 'Kevin Smith's if Randall and Dante, etc... grew up in rural Canada instead of suburban New Jersey.' Some of the funniest dialogue I have heard in a long time. All of the cast are great and each character is uniquely odd in their own way. If you haven't given this sho a try yet, time to figure it out!
Asa small town Ontarian, this rang so true it made me wonder if it would translate outside of my world of inside jokes - i even guessed the town it was based on (Listowel) just by watching the season.
dialog is Tarantino sharp and fast, the catch phrases fly by almost too fast to catch ( eyes on your own work there super chief) and if this series was on a VHS tape, I would wear it out.
If this show does not garner awards for comedic writing, i will be shocked - simply the best thing i have seen in some time
I signed up to the Canadian crave TV service solely for this offering and it is well worth it - i am surprised by the lack of buzz about this show in the media to be honest. I do not know if it is because this is not based on a reserve, or an urban coffee shop, or if the humor simply goes over most critic's heads

A few years ago, the humor of Napoleon Dynamite and the talking speed of Gilmore Girls hung out and played Cards Against Humanity together.

This show is absolutely hilarious, full of dry humor and witty lines. I can't wait for Season 3. Very enjoyable, visit LetterKenny have a few drinks with the boys, admire the hot little sister and squirrely Dan's appreciation of her.
I'm a huge Corner Gas fan and have really grown to appreciate Canadian Comedy, and while this show is not family friendly at all, I love the style of humor and how fast paced it is. It is not hard to understand, so don't believe the bad reviews. Also, I have seen a lot of comments stating it's full of Canadian slang, and while that may be, it is very easy for Americans to understand. The first episode is the worst in my opinion, so just get past that and you will be fine.
