Crawford

If you suffer from migraine, epilepsy, Do not watch this show, there should be health warnings at the start of this programme about flashing images, the credits at the end are very likely to trigger an attack in any person with any of the above illnesses, possibly give others a painful headache. The show is pleasant enough, spoiled by some fool putting on credits that are a health hazard, my wife and I had to close our eyes and turn our heads away when the credits suddenly came on. How this video was allowed to pass into general viewing without some concern given to the effect the credits may have on susceptible viewers is beyond me.

The CBC seems to be hooked on the "quirky and weird family" comedy genre. Schitts Creek and Crawford ate probably the best examples of this fixation.

The show is amusing enough, supported primarily by two experienced performers, Jill Hennessy and John Carroll Lynch. But search the credits for Jim Lovisek, the animal wrangler who achieves some amazingly effective work with what would normally be called "wildlife". The raccoons are almost as much a part of the cast as the actors, although I doubt that they have ACTRA memberships.

It's no "Citizen Kane", but I've certainly seen worse.

Speaking as an ordinary objective viewer (not employed or influenced by the CBC) take my word for it, save your time and do not watch this. It is really bad. I actually watched the 2nd episode in the hope that it could only get better. Wrong. It is particularly embarrassing as a Canadian to acknowledge that our tax dollars have gone to the CBC to support crap like this. Seems like they tried to rip off Schitts Creek (Great) but have failed miserably.

The show has a lot of aspects to it that may come off as strange at first glance, but when combined with the over all feel of the show these oddities only add to it's wonderful humor and quirkiness. The characters are all very compelling and story lines and development was a delight to watch. I really hope to see more seasons in the future.

This show does not always make sense but if you can enjoy the weirdness of it, and you think raccoons are funny, then i think you will really like it. It is not the same 'modern family' type stuff that you would expect. I really enjoyed the characters they seemed really well thought of and likable, not only designed for comedic purposes. I hope more episodes are coming.
