6. Best Canadian shows: Being Erica
The very charming Erin Karplunk stars as Erica Strange in this quirky comedy-drama. Erica gets a one-of-a-kind opportunity to travel back in time and relive some of the most monumental moments of her life — from first kisses to prom nights.
She slowly starts to rectify some of the mistakes and regrets she has in her life in the hopes she can finally have the life she’s always dreamed of having. The series ran for four seasons and 49 episodes.
Being Erica is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and HBO Max.
5. Best Canadian shows: Kim’s Convenience
Kim’s Convenience is streaming on Netflix right now, which means that more people should give it a chance! It’s similar to Superstore in many ways, but it revolves around a Korean-Canadian family that runs a convenience store. The sitcom has been running for four seasons so far and has already been renewed for two seasons.
The charming, heartfelt series takes place in downtown Toronto where the family set up shop in the 80s. Kim’s Convenience has received critical acclaim throughout most of its seasons and multiple awards. When it started streaming on Netflix, it reached a larger audience that helped to boost its audience.
