![]() ![]() ![]() This Emmy-nominated show has a simple but effective premise: the uber-rich Rose family headed by video store magnate Johnny Rose (Eugene Levy) and Moira Rose (Catherine O’Hara) lose all their money and are forced to move with their grown kids David (Dan Levy) and Alexis (Annie Murphy) to the small town of Schitt’s Creek that they once bought as a joke. Standout feature: From the customers who visit the store to Jung’s colleagues at Handy Car Rental to Janet’s classmates at OCAD, I can say that I have never seen a show that reflects the multicultural diversity of Toronto as honestly as this one does. Whether you can finally relate to the second generation immigrant experience being shown on screen, or simply to the ups and downs of studying and working in downtown Toronto, Kim’s Convenience is sure to bring some laughs during those gloomy fall evenings. Though it follows a familiar family sitcom structure, the humour itself is fresh and relevant. The show interweaves family dynamics with plotlines centred around work and school. They play parents to their estranged son Jung (Simu Liu) and daughter Janet (Andrea Bang). Paul Sun-Hyung Lee and Jean Yoon (an Innis alumna!) reprise their roles as Appa and Umma (Dad and Mom) from the original play that the show is based on. Revolving around the Korean-Canadian Kim family running a convenience store in downtown Toronto, the multi-award-winning Kim’s Convenience is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. ![]()
