Here’s the secret of a professional reviewer: If you find it difficult to describe a TV show, that usually means it’s something special. That’s what I like about LetterkennyThe half -fight comedy, half farming now streaming on Hulu. I came for the over -the -top shows and perfectly timed whips and waited for a wonderfully heartfelt meditation on family and friendship.
Like most great sitting comedy, Letterkenny It has a fraudulent default. Each episode focuses on various clicks living in a small Canadian town, with a focus on a dear group of fast -speaking farmers (let alone thinking quickly). The stories of these groups are often minor in scope and scale, which makes the epic punchlines hit even harder than Wayne during a brawl.
Part of the show’s special charm is that her characters speak a remarkable language all alone. Sure, it’s English, but they’re papping their dialogue with strange lines (like saying “Patter Pitter, let’s go to’er” or even sing “to be fair” whenever someone trades those three words) that goes beyond Cutesy catches. The characters come across as great friends who have developed their own strange way of speaking over the years, and because they are so strangely charming, it won’t be long before you start talking like them too.
Those characters come to life thanks to a talented cast: Jared Keeso (who also created the show) is perfect like Wayne, a good old square boy with an unprecedented, similar ability to make friends with the people he fights (Wayne has to protect his reputation as the hardest guy as a letter as a letter). Nathan Dales gives an awkward charisma (“wishing you were not so awkward, buds”) and K. Trevor Wilson turns squirely Dan in dear Lug whose strange speech whose strange speech hides a philosopher’s soul. Rounding this group is Michelle Mylett as Wayne’s sister, a dirty beauty that loves to bear the scene.
The rest of the cast is full of amazing performers, such as Tyler Johnston as leader of a group of burns who love drugs called the shoes. Dan Petronijevic plays one of Wayne’s colleagues who is usually more interested in discussing his strange romantic defeats (“Hard rocks, roof, pit side villas!”) No talking shop about farming. Mostly among those defeats is Melania Scrofano, best known for playing Captain Batel’s Star Trek: A strange new worlds and play the character title Wynonna earp; in LetterkennyShe is cast against Math as a drunken sex fiend who always slips her words after a little gin and thonics.
Throughout its 12 seasons there are okay duds from time to time: I found the same Halloween special (Letterkenny It has several holiday episodes) remarkably flawed. Season 1’s “Fartbook” is such a literal smell that he could drive new fans away. The show is worth clinging around, though, and it is shocking how consistently the quality remains throughout the entire series. Also, Whipsmart writing ensures that even when you haven’t all invested in the plot (personally, I never loved the crack plots NE), there will be plenty of dialogue and an unforgettable quotible society to enjoy.
Letterkenny At an almost perfect TV show, but it is almost impossible to describe because nothing else is very similar to it. Look at yourself and you will start to quote the hypnotic lines of the show immediately. When your friends ask what you’re talking about, you’ll have the perfect excuse to introduce to the residents of a small town called Letterkenny.
