Crawford

Scary sweet show. Funny and Mysterious. Deserves more attention. Really interesting in detail. Attention raccoons

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.

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.

Wow a Canadian show where you can appreciate the humour straight off with Great Acting. It is funny and presents an open mind to how families can work great together by functioning in different ways. (The description as on IMDb as a dysfunctional family is over used - when a family loves and relates to each other - how can it be dysfunctional.)

Written by Mike Clattenburg (Trailer Park Boys), Crawford is a surreal and strange comedy that follows Don (Kyle Mac), a heavy metal musician, as he moves back home outside Toronto to live with his parents. Things start going awry as he realizes he can talk to the racoons infesting the neighbourhood. Honestly one of the most confounding shows I've seen as of late, that description doesn't even touch the tip of the iceberg of weirdness. Every character in this is a character, but not at all in a bad way, it all feels very comedic. I laughed a decent number of times and I thought the surrealness was clever at points, but it did suffer from being a bit all over the place, I can understand why audience reception was a bit lacking. Released digitally first then canceled after a single season, it's quite the shame, I enjoyed the series and really wish there was more, it seems like Clattenburg had some fun plans for its future. Would recommend for an unconventional laugh.
