Cavendish

Loved the first episode! Along the same lines as The Strange Calls and similar humour to Flight of the concords. Really hope the rest is as good. Classic Canadian humour.

I love the accuracy of this show - every detail of Cavendish is faithfully, lovingly recreated in this documentary about real life in Cavendish. From the celebrations of Beast Day to the state-of-the-art hospital, the show feels like coming back to my hometown of Cavendish, where I live.

This show is really different than other sitcoms right now. Very quirky & funny with lots of laugh-out-loud one liners & situational absurdities. The polarity between the brothers fuels the quick-witted banter. And the supporting characters of the boys' cantankerous father along with a plethora of eccentric town folk with wacky idiosyncrasies rounds out a great ensemble cast.

The negative reviews are almost exclusively by real Cavandish islanders who seem to think that this is actually about them. Of course people don't really think Cavendish is like this. Just like there is no 278-yr-old British guy fighting a headless horsemen in "Sleepy Hollow," no teenagers fighting supernatural beings like Big Foot in "Eerie, Indiana," or aliens actually living in "Roswell, N.M."

So ignore the negative comments about how "Cavendish" portrays islanders badly (seriously - no one actually thinks that the citizens of Cavendish are rubes who believe a mythical beast lives on the island & hunts people), and just enjoy the obviously fictional and farcical adventures in the show.

I don't really get what all the fuss is for from the negative reviewers here. This show is not the best thing I have ever seen but I don't think it was bad at all just a goofy comedy show worth a few chucklers for sure.

Hilarious show with alums of short lived but beloved sketch show Picnicface. An absolute much watch!
