Title: The Outlaws
Review: I’m not sure what to say about this show, except it may be the funniest show ever on TV; a cult favorite in Canada that depicts a Korean family that run a convenience store in Toronto. Lee and Yoon are cult legends in Canada and Liu has become a rising star off his turn in this show. If you are mostly a drama fan and need an occasional half hour break- don’t miss this. Lee, as the father (Appa) is a modernized, Korean, Canadian take on Archie bunker, but in a good way. One of long line of shows created by Kevin White (Trailer Park Boys, Reservation Dogs) it is brilliantly written and acted. We loved this show so much we watched it over a 2-year period and stopped when we got to the last episode, since we did not want it to end. Six months later, we went back to watch the finale and still couldn’t do it- so just started over from the beginning. Brilliant.
