Slings and Arrows is almost perfect! The cast is great. I've always been a big fan of Mark McKinney and Don McKellar so I was glad to see them both in this fantastic mini-series. Brilliant show, brilliant characters... Definitely worth seeing!!! The show is about a theater festival that, in the past years, has sacrificed artistic quality due to some financial concerns. When the artistic director dies, he is replaced by Geoffrey Tennant, an actor who did a infamous Hamlet 7 years earlier. His nomination as the festival's new artistic director leads to major tension amongst the actors and with the general manager, Richard Smith-Jones.

I think it's sad to see how underrated Canadian TV is. Especially comedies. There a lots of great Candian TV shows such as Twitch City, Slings and Arrows, 22 Minutes and this one, Made In Canada, probably the best out of the lot.

Made in Canada is a powerful satire of the Canadian film and TV industry. The cast (Mercer, Pinsent, Keleghan, Lett, etc...) are all excellent. Even the way it is filmed makes the show event better. And they always had amazing guest stars such as Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson from the Kids in the Hall, Don McKellar and Gordon Pinsent... The last season, especially the very last episode weren't as good as the first four seasons, but overall, it's an amazing show that's worth seeing!
