Strays

I have only watched 2 episodes so far, but here is my 2 cents. As much as I liked Shannon in Kim's Convenience, I can't seem to like her here in Strays. She is the main character, yet her characterization here is bland at best. Surrounding characters and the not funny "supposedly funny moments" didn't help either. Compared to the characters at Handy, all new characters here are either bland or borderline annoying. I do hope this show will get better in future episode.

However as of now, no Appa, no Omma, no good...

Problems with this show: People will compare it with Kim's convenience - It's not that funny , characters are not that good in comparison and theme song of Kim's convenience was way better. But Kim's convenience was not cancelled because they wanted to make this show! So please don't compare.

Show is only available in Canada - You can't watch it if you live outside canada, yeah ofcourse you can watch it with some tricks ;)

Anyway, concept is good, this show has potential, we all know shannon was funny in Kim's convenience and she is still that great, they just need to hire some funny writers if they really don't want it to get cancelled. Episode 1 was average but 2 was better. Give it a chance!

Ok so to start I actually liked it and enjoyed the episode but you can't really separate the fact they cancelled an amazing show to give us this.

To me it needed to be AMAZING to justify that and it was honestly just ok.

I tried, I really tried to watch this Kim's Convenience spin-off show but it's just not as funny as Kim's is.

I understand the need to take Kim's Convenience and spin it off but this...I'm fairly certain that my words would be censored by any profanity filiters.

Refreshing laughs in an easy to watch show. So far so good. Only two episode so far. And the second is better than the first. I hope that continues. But can't really give it a solid review until I see more. And more is what I would like to see.

Honestly so far all the characters are enjoyable to watch and you get a lot packed into only a half an hour. I'd say I'm a fan. Who knows when this season is over I may change my review and be back.

For a half hour show, refreshing and easy to watch. And pets at the centre of it, I would give this show a shot. Who knows where this could go!
