Shoresy

Jared Keeso is the man. Shoresy is one of those shows my wife can't stand but one that I will watch over and over. Hockey, trash talking, fighting, and all in my hometown. I can't wait to see the upcoming episodes.

Shoresey is a fresh take on a sport that has more than a few TV and big screen products. This show is clever, funny, hearwarning and brutally forward all at once. You need to leave some time to get fast enough to catch all the jokes. Rapid fire humor at paces hard to keep up with. I'm thinking a cold,crazy, violent and Canadian Ted Lasso. All the characters seem like somebody you know but really never met. Each character sports a uniqe persective that is only revealed through the rapid fire conversations that take place. The sould of this show is a layered approach to manly mundane subjects. The right stacking, layering and uniqe takes make this a shining example of a small evolution in comedy writing.

The magic formula of rapid-fire banter, extreme vulgariry and just a touch of heart continues in this spinoff of Lettekenny. Being a "southerner" and never played a game of hockey, some of the jokes went way over my head, but was still, just a treasure to watch. The shot of those five, big hockey meatheads standing around in Shorsey's kitchen, eating ice cream cones, each with a protective bowl to catch any drips, I'm sure is a nod to Moms everywhere, but it also gives us an idea what these guys are going to be like. Its small details like this, not necessarily the big laughs that get me.

I hope to see more this show and Keeso, in the future.

This is a solid spinoff of Letterkenny. Shoresy's voice is toned down a bit from Letterkenny, but still sounds like Shore. The humor and quick banter are on point. If your not a fan, give yer b&%#$ a tug.

Usually, spinoffs flop or at the most meet the expectations of their origin stories. This spinoff certainly meets the level of charm that Letterkenny has to offer, and so much more.

Do you love the verbal assaults Shoresy delivered to Jonsey, Reilly, and anyone else who rubbed him the wrong way in Letterkenny? Do you love the quick-witted banter that exited in Letterkenny, not just including that which involves our new protagonist? Do you want a fairy-tale story told with a fairy-tale ending but not in a traditional fairy-tale manner?

If your answer to any of that is a firm "yes," then this is the spinoff for YOU. If not, give your balls a tug, you loser.

EDIT: Just watched the season 3 premiere. This is one of those shows that can keep the original creative magic from start to finish. I was dying. The "your mom" Shoresy jokes are just absolutely brutal.
