I figure a few of of us are trying CBC Gem, might help if we shared knowledge and recommendations!

    I’ll start the ball rolling:

    The instant classics, Schitt’s Creek and Kim’s Convenience are there. Both are heartwarming, joyful family comedies. Blackberry is a great little movie about the Blackberry phone with Glenn Howerton (Dennis from it’s always sunny in Philadelphia) and Jay Baruchel (Man Seeking Woman, basically that nerdy looking dude you’ll recognize instantly.)

    Ones I haven’t seen but have heard really good things about (and are thus on my list):

    The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, Reservation Dogs, Penny Dreadful, Britannia, Masters of Sex, Pen15

    Haven’t heard much but Natasha Lyonne is usually awesome, so Poker Face is on my list.

      Kim’s Convenience is such a good show! It toes the line perfectly between being an authentic representation of the struggles immigrant families can face while still being mostly lighthearted and fun.

          I’ve heard such good things, it’s top of my list. I might try and start a watching group on here or something. Think like a book club with an episode a week or something.
