Now if buying Canadian meant having better options. Crave is the only Canadian streaming platform I know of and on top of giving money to Bell, it's... not great.

Yup. I don't think you can fault CBC gem for not, I dunno, pirating a prime "original" series. (Prime bought the rights once the sci fi channel or whatever it was called cancelled it.)

    Oh, I'm not faulting anyone. It's just an example of why this whole thing is lowkey dumb. If you're on a strict "buy Canadian" diet, you get half a good TV series. Having watched the whole thing before things got lowkey dumb, that's kind of a ripoff.

    Sure but you might try some of the other shows in similar style to the other ones you mentioned.

    Buy Canadian means yeah, trying some different things, making small changes etc. Maybe, trying a new cop/detective show or another sitcom, or watching the first few seasons of the Expanse on Gem and sailing the high seas for the last two.

    Also, for what it's worth, an awesome no budget sci fi movie, Freaks is on Crave. Fully recommend going in knowing as little as possible.
