I figure a few of of us are trying CBC Gem, might help if we shared knowledge and recommendations!

    Tall Boyz: absurdist sketch comedy somewhat evocative of Kids in the Halls (which makes sense Bruce McCulloch was executive producer). Or hell just watch old Kids in the Hall.

    Haven’t gotten around to seeing it myself but I’ve heard North of North is pretty good. It’s a sitcom set in Nunavut

    Das Boot is also really good. A very raw and suspenseful Second World War drama set both in occupied France and inside a German submarine. There’s also no “pretend this guy isn’t speaking english” thing which is pretty cool. The actors actually speak German when their characters speak German, French when they speak French, etc. So most of the show is subtitled.

      Thanks for the Tall Boyz recommendation, I’ll be checking that out.

      …sigh…I miss Picnicface… need more Canadian sketch comedy in my life in general.
