Son of a Critch

I'm on the first episode of Son of a Critch and right away I got The Wonder Years vibes. The show is being told through Mark's (the son) perspective, but he's a nerdier version of Kevin Arnold. The show feels very similar but with a Canadian spin on it.

I can see Ritchie being the Paul Pfeiffer and Fox as the Winnie Cooper (possibly even Becky Slater?) of the show. Tina might even be the Winnie Cooper of the show.

The narrator is even an older version of Mark, very similar to how Daniel Stern played the older version of Kevin Arnold doing the narration in The Wonder Years.

The one thing I like is that they added a Filipino kid to the show. Being an east Indian person, I remember dealing with similar types of BS from some of the kids in my school that didn't understand our cultural differences. Ritchie deals with similar types of BS and all he wants to do is fit in. That's something that's actually missing from The Wonder Years.

So far the how is pretty good, so I hope it develops into something like The Wonder Years or even funnier. I love that they went with the 80s for the time period, since I grew up in Canada during the 80s and 90s. I also grew up watching The Wonder Years back then, so Son of a Critch gives me that nostalgic feeling.
