That's right, Newfoundland is exotic. Okay, so the episodes were clearly filmed in the summer, and I'm not sure I'd want to spend the winter there, but the East coast music and the beauty of the multicoloured houses, coupled with those accents! It makes a show that would probably be just boring in Ontario great!
Not that the plots don't keep things exciting. In Blood is Thicker than Blood, the best scene had to be when the two brothers were shooting at each other in the junk yard; you were never quite sure if their intention was to actually shoot each other or not. And the ending of the episode, sad and poignant, a reminder that amid the goofiness we are talking about murder and loss of life changing everything.
But what keeps me coming back is how awkward and therefore natural the relationships between the characters are. Everyone is so perfectly flawed that, while lovable, they are all so far from perfect that you can't help but want the best for them. Especially because you know they aren't going to be making the right choices on their own.
Why do you watch?
