Tina Jung, Nicole Power, and Nikki Duval in Strays (2021)

STRAYS follows Shannon Ross (Nicole Power) from Kim's Convenience as the new executive director of the Hamilton East Animal Shelter, where she is boss to an eclectic staff. Now in her 30s, Shannon is ready for a change and new challenges. She's putting Toronto in the rearview to focus on her new job, new relationships, reuniting with family and learning more about herself. Shannon's trademark positivity is put to the test as she manages an oddball team, including her apathetic cousin Nikki (Nikki Duval), her over-eager animal care manager Kristian (Frank Cox-O'Connell), her overly sheltered office manager Joy (Tina Jung) and the building's maintenance guy Paul (Tony Nappo), whose straight-faced prison humour keeps everyone on their toes.

No Appa, No Omma, No good...

I have only watched 2 episodes so far, but here is my 2 cents. As much as I liked Shannon in Kim's Convenience, I can't seem to like her here in Strays. She is the main character, yet her characterization here is bland at best. Surrounding characters and the not funny "supposedly funny moments" didn't help either. Compared to the characters at Handy, all new characters here are either bland or borderline annoying. I do hope this show will get better in future episode.

However as of now, no Appa, no Omma, no good...
