Cancelled my Netflix and prime and subbed to CBC gem.

One big problem with our country is that our own identity and culture has been eroded by American pop culture. It’s honestly good to get away from American media and focus on Canadian made content otherwise we our identity and culture just blends into American culture and I hate that.

It's tragic too when there is so much Canadian media that gets overshadowed as a result. I've been picking up Orphan Black again which is a fantastic series, but too many Americans have never heard of it.

My wife loved orphan black! I didn't know it was Canadian. We both loved Kim's convenience. And Kenny vs Spenny is an all time great.

Kim's Convenience was an awesome show, until that last season... but yeah, definitely worth emphasizing Canadian gems like these.

Hell yeah! On my previous watch, I only got through almost 2 seasons, hopefully I will finish this time. I've forgotten a lot, so it's kind of nice not knowing what to expect again.

I was looking up the show on TV Tropes, and I completely forgot about Helena's crazy cult arc, for example...
