Strays

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!

Strays replicates much of the humour and charm of Kim's Convience, but never quite lives up to the original. As a standalone series, it's a solid addition to pad the CBC lineup, but isn't going to be sweeping any awards shows.

The show takes a few episodes to pick up, but shows a lot of potential in its diverse cast of characters and solid premise.

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.

Whereas Kim's had plots and humour- this show falls flat straight from opening. Nicole is not a lead actor and the supporting cast is simply not interesting.

Did the writers watch episode one?

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!
