    We live in the area the show is about (generally speaking). My wife's brother turned us on to it. We very much liked it, including the pace. Then the lead character jumped into bed with his ex. We turned off the show and never went back.

    The other part that we always laughed at was the women on the show. Every woman was "hot", yet in that area, the lion's share of single women that age have completely let themselves go physically and are way over tatoo'd, with a few kids filling up their ancient Chevy chevette oil burners, as they drive down the road smoking almost as bad as the car, with its rusty fenders exposed by pealed paint.

    And don't even get me started on drug use around here.

    i.e. it was too unbelieveable.

    Same kinda beef as I had about HBO's The Wire after living in West Baltimore for six years this Century...way too many charming and 'clean-cut' gangstas
    and 'high-minded' journalists on there to allow for the necessary 'suspension of disbelief"...LOL

    No! No Region 2.
    No interest in m- region player or Netflix..etc.
    Looks like I’m screwed for some shows.
    Pity.. saying that I only like watching tv series either from DVDs or Blu Rays ..like something tangible in my mitts. :)

    You nailed it. It was the suspension of disbelief thing.

    First five (six?) seasons of Letterkenny are on Blu-Ray now. Most bear repeat watchings (especially if you are unaccoustomed
    to Ontairio speech patterns and hockey slang).

    Same here. I got to the melting bathtub episode and that was about it.

    Art is subjective.

    BTW, my wife and I kinda liked Blue Bloods. We'll probably fire it up again if nothing else seems good at the time on a rainy night.

    Blue Bloods 'jumped the shark' for me when the politics strayed into 'Dick Wolf ' territory a couple seasons back (like most other police procedurals have now).

    That sort of thing is what usually kills these shows for us. The political or "social justice" shark jumping.
