The Trades

First, I actually try to find "home grown" shows. I LOVED Trailer park boys, up until it was taken over by Netflix and "Americanized". (Historically TBP only started Canadians, then they brought in American money, American actors..).

I actually enjoy Canadian shows, with Canadian actors.

This is a fantastic show and I hope it is picked up for additional seasons.

I did not like the "Susan" character on TPB, but they brought Susan Kent in for "The trades" and WOW, she's fantastic.

Not a "kid friendly" show, but MAN is it funny.

So far, "Sensitivity Training" is my fav episode. They have taken this absurdity we see in the workplace and made a mockery out of it on TV and did a great job doing so.

The producers did an amazing job bringing in a stellar set of actors/actresses to make this show what it is. You will be hard pressed to find a character you dont enjoy.

It is interesting seeing "Ricky" (Robb Wells) playing another character, which he does very well.

If you like Canadian comedy and don't mind "how people talk in the real world" give it a try...

No Political preaching, no attempting to brainwash you with propaganda, just some great comedy.

It is nice watching a bunch of Canadian actors working together to provide a great show.

I worked my whole career in jobs like this, power plants, shipyards, steel mills and machine shops. This is funny because it is so real. I know these people. It does not show the bad side of these jobs like injuries and the day to day drudgery and filth that nobody wants to see. But, there were so many fun and humorous times like this show, which makes this hit home. People who have never done this kind of work will not understand this show, but those of us who have been there will get a giggle out of it. And some people will be offended by the bad language, but @$&? Them. I talk like a Sailor on leave in Singapore all the time.

This was a much anticipated show for me. I grew up surrounded by tradespeople. My mom was a carpenter in the 80's and my dad was an ironworker - they met on a bus in Calgary....these comedic stories are endless and I think this show is going to prove it. This just hits home for these tired-souls who grind away in these industries and professions just to keep the economy spinnin' round.

I crushed both episodes back to back and had to watch them again. Not only because I was laughing so hard, I wanted to take it all in.

I found myself pausing the show just to read the insults on the bathroom walls. Its raunchy, saucy and sweet, every character made me laugh. The writing and art department knocked this out of the park, the racoon is a nice touch.

I am very excited for the next episode this Friday and cant wait to see where this show progresses. It certainly is no Trailer Park boys - That show is hilarious in its own right, but this show has heart and it seems purposeful. I highly recommend giving it a view, worth the watch.

What I love so far about this show is it's hilarious situational comedy; simultaneously ridiculous & absurd yet striking a refreshing balance of being rooted in reality. Its another really great sitcom utilizing the single camera style to firmly plant itself within its character's world.

To that effect, the characters are very well developed and familiar. I feel like I am watching a slightly exaggerated version of so many people I knew growing up in small town Southern Ontario! I think this is what is giving the series to much heart for me. These characters are also brought to life by a well rounded ensemble cast and so the series does not lean too much on one actor/character either. I again find this...Refreshing!

This is the Canadian Content I love to see! Highly recommend you check it out if you are a fan of: Trailer Park Boys, Superstore, Letterkenny, FUBAR, Parks & Rec.

Fantastic premise for a comedy. We all have been in these types of scenarios at work and fantastic writing to turn it into a comedy series! The soundtrack was hilarious and fitting for the storyline, Cant wait to see how story evolves. Easily could have binge watched the entire first season. Alot of great canadian talent showcased in this series, which should have everyone excited to start watching and give it a shot. Fantastic to see Rob Wells in another comedy and going to have alot more stars coming out of this series... episode 3 cant come soon enough! Signed up for crave just for this show.
