Storage Wars Canada

This show is the WORST. I am especially upset because I am a fan of the original show.

This show fails in pretty much every single respect at making a reality TV show.

I should say reality-ish because this show is obviously totally fake. I'm not going to take them all the way down to a one out of ten rating just for that because tons of reality shows aren't exactly real. But this one takes the case. Shots of conversations but then another camera clicks on and you see that the camera we just saw a shot from is not there. Empty hallway or lot. That means all these arguments, conversations and confrontations are 100% staged.

That's probably why the bidders (actors) all seem so fake on this show, because they and every moment are. Their performances are wooden and pathetic.

So if you're not really caring if it looks totally fake then why not at least get decent actors?

Why not tell decent stories? It's the exact same story every time. They buy a locker that has something in it (obviously an interesting and or valuable piece that has been planted there). They take the thing to an "expert" friend they just happen to know. They cash in. The staged, fake arguments that are boring get settled but who cares because they're obviously fake and boring?

Why does every Canadian version of a show have to be so completely inferior?

Wearing a Hawaiian shirt and having a girl pretend to be a giant b- witch does not mean they are interesting characters.

This show is a total turd. It's not just fake it's so fake it's unbelievable how fake it is. Bad acting, worst writing ever, not even interesting stuff going on. This show is just stupid, stupid, stupid.

Watched one episode then got through about 1/2 another one before I was so disgusted I have to turn it off. Not funny, not informative and not entertaining.

I thought the original Storage Wars was an OK enough show. Obviously like most "reality shows" a lot of the action was staged and the characters on it were real people who weren't the best actors but at least they were interesting and funny on occasion.

Just lifting that formula that worked should have been easy enough you would think but Storage Wars Canada fails in every way. Worst of all are the stories they have and the writing. The rummaging cast are not given anything really interesting or funny to do or even just lines to say, and they are 100 times worse at acting than the original show's cast. They didn't find anything interesting or funny, the people finding it weren't interesting or funny, the experts they took their finds to weren't interesting or funny, the conflicts and stories they were given weren't interesting or funny.... were the writers asleep at the wheel the entire season? Seriously a middle school drama class could have come up with better stuff and funnier lines.

I'm surprised this show was even put on television it was so bad, but luckily the plug was pulled. Mercifully I would say.

This show is a winning formula.... I loved the American version/original version when it came on.... but this version has a lot of problems where they don't seem to get what made the first version such a big hit. From what I can tell the audience and me included are very disappointed with this show and for similar reasons so here is my attempt to list those reasons and I hope the people who make and perform in this show will see it and take it to heart and change the show.

• the cast needs work, either getting better at performing and seeming real or just actually being real, or possibly they even need to be replaced.

• the writing is bad, not sure if it is writing or should be called that but they obviously have ideas of what they are doing, where they are going, who they are seeing and especially the ideas of what items are found/planted in the storage lockers they buy.... this part of the show should be a lot more interesting and fun and seem fresher/realer.

• location wise the show is very boring, they need more interesting and better locations to do the show at and need to change things up more, the American show does this a lot and it works very well.

The show isn't terrible it just doesn't hold a candle to the great original series it is based on, not sure if you can see my ratings but I give it a 4 out of 10.
