I think it’s a really good spinoff to letterkenny! But also think having a base understanding of Canada and hockey bro culture is something that makes the show much better
it's weird because they start off being funny without punching down or going phob but then every couple years some cracks through somehow? it's frustrating
You don't play team sports! A lot of the appeal of Shores (to me, anyway) is in how it portrays the emotions and interpersonal interactions of team sports!
I did play team sports! I grew up playing soccer, basketball, and baseball. carried on rec soccer through most of my 20s. also raced road cycling back when I raced, which is very much a team sport.
as someone who has no interest in hockey, i was surprised by how much i enjoyed it. a lot of heart behind it. @mostlymartha.bsky.social also is a fan of it
I think it's really funny and charming, in a very unique way. It's Dudes Rock: The Show, with a main character who is doing nontoxic masculinity almost in spite of himself.
I'm not a hockey fan at all, and love the show. Its one of my all time favorites.
Great storytelling, fantastic characters, and like you said its got a lot of heart.

This one, super meh
I can see why people would not like it for sure
also I got boxed out for couch snuggles with the boy I was watching it with and I'm still salty about that
Great storytelling, fantastic characters, and like you said its got a lot of heart.
