After a few years of people telling me that this show is way better than the awful name would have you believe, I started watching it the other day. Turns out it's way better than the awful name would have you believe! The writing is sharp, the cast is charming and the plotlines are far more down to earth than I'd expect from a fish out of water story about empty-headed rich folks slumming it in a podunk town. Some highlights: Alexis' repeated allusions to a life in international espionage, Bob's constant obliviousness and Ronnie's refusal to give a fuck. I also really love Moira's affected actor voice. There was a thing going around a few weeks ago about how people's minds were blown that Catherine O'hara was also the mom in Home Alone, and while I think that's kind of silly, it is a testament I suppose to the quality of her performance.
I am slightly annoyed by the classic it's-in-Canada-but-we-can't-say-it's-in-Canada thing, but whatever, I suppose there's some benefit to the town being in an ambiguous nowhere (although apparently the motel they shoot at is actually close to my parents' place).
Anyway, does anybody else watch this show?
