This show is delicious. Funny, charming, and oh so innocent. A wonderful look back at life in the 1960s in St John's Newfoundland. For those who are unaware, you will be charmed. Bring on the cucumbers, moose, boiled vegetables, and enjoy the ride. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait for future seasons. And the casting is bang on - Malcolm McDowell is superb as granddad, as is Benjamin Evan as the precocious Mark Critch, and Mark Critch as his sweet, naive, radio announcer father. While the show takes on real world topics - bullying, religion, hypocrisy, inequity - it does so in a way that generates empathy and understanding, with a good bit of self depreciating humour. I love it.
