It's a lot of fun and has multiple very attractive females in the cast.
It's fluffy and silly, but chuckle-worthy and endlessly quotable.
Like vail, said for those do not know anything about it it's a comedic series that started out on youtube [edit: CraveTV.com] that is centered on the cliques and groups that form in semi-rural Canada. Some of the humor is about the friction between the various cliques, but mostly it's a loose excuse to engage in wordplay, and the wordplay is very funny.
Just because it started low budget, don't think it's not well-written or is poorly acted. In terms of writing and acting out of the gate, it's reminiscent of Always Sunny. In terms of bored teen shenanigans, it's reminiscent of the original Clerks. In terms of the mood of the show, I'd have to say the old Bartles and James wine cooler commercials.
Here's a favorite clip, if this doesn't grab you as something you'd want to see more of, Letterkenny isn't for you.
If you're keen on whatcha see, . . . well then pitter-patter.
Speaking of Letterkenny, someone dropped a LK reference that completely took me off guard and had me laughing for a good while, . . . I chuckle now even recalling it.
It was exquisite in it's blindsided timing, so it's not going to be as funny when you see it coming the way I have to describe it. But anyway, on some gif site, probably imgur, they had one of those videos from that Turkish guy who makes enormous fancy meals while he smiles directly into the camera the whole time
Edit - here's the video in question
And then in the comment section was the following exchange
So Keeso and Tierney changed it up a bit for Season 8 which felt a bit off. It felt less like a complete 'season' and more like a roughly three hour feature film.
Spoiler!
Not thrilled how they chose to break up Marie-Fred and Wayne they way they did but it makes sense considering Magalie Lepine-Blondeau is a decently high profile actress in Canada (at least I think) so her availability for future seasons wasn't guaranteed and they had teased Rosie's return in the trailers so I was ready for it. Still felt out of character. Beyond that, the highpoint of the season was Shoresy's chirping during the two hockey games in the final third of the season.
Still a great concept but probably one of the weaker seasons so far. [Reply]

Watched a couple of episodes and had a few chuckles. Canadian family hates it though. I wonder if it touches a nerve to see Canadians being portrayed as rednecks, because Canadians enjoy thinking of that particular subculture as being exclusively American. [Reply]
