Not only does this show offer a stellar ensemble, but it\u2019s also heartwarming and hilarious. After all, what could be more adorable than a TV show created by a father and son duo?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show stars the wealthy Rose family, who loses all of their fortune and is forced to relocate to a small town called, you guessed it, Schitt\u2019s Creek. Hilarity ensues when the formerly rich family attempts to integrate with the humble locals of the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Schitt\u2019s Creek<\/em><\/strong><strong> has received a lot of critical acclaim<\/strong>, as it has won 18 Canadian Screen Awards and 2 ACTRA Awards. The show has also received 19 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, and it made history at the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards by becoming the first comedy or drama in history to sweep all seven award categories. This is the <a href=\"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/tv\">perfect show to stream<\/a> when you\u2019re looking for something feel-good and funny.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_kims_convenience\"><\/span>2.

A sitcom that ran for five seasons, Kim\u2019s Convenience is based on a play by Ins Choi. The series follows a Korean Canadian family who runs a convenience store in the Moss Park neighborhood of Toronto.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the show\u2019s setup will make you feel like you\u2019re watching a 70s sitcom (in a good way), but the show also has a revolutionary aspect to it in the way it <strong>normalizes Korean culture and cuisine<\/strong>. Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and this show does a good job of introducing you to one of the city\u2019s communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_workin_moms\"><\/span>3.

Interestingly, the show is <strong>based on a real murder that took place in Canada in 1843.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/arts-culture\/mysterious-murder-case-inspired-margaret-atwoods-alias-grace-180967045\/\">The real-life murder case<\/a> is well-known in Canadian history, holding a similar notoriety level that Lizzie Borden has in the US.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TV series takes place in flashbacks, with Grace recounting the murder after she\u2019s been in prison for it for 15 years. This is the <strong>third book by Margaret Atwood to be adopted into a series<\/strong>, with the other two being <em>The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em> and <em>Wandering Wenda<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_anne_with_an_e\"><\/span>8.

Most of these French speakers reside in Quebec, where the show <em>Can You Hear Me? <\/em>takes place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Can You Hear Me?<\/em><\/strong><strong> follows the lives of three best friends<\/strong>, Carolanne, Fabiola, and Ada, as they navigate their day-to-day lives in a low-income neighborhood in Montreal. This is a great show about the everyday struggles many people face.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We see the girls try to navigate housing, familiar struggles, and therapy as they find comfort and strength in their friendships. This dark comedy is raw and honest, and you\u2019ll probably find yourself binging all three seasons in one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_between\"><\/span>10.

As a mysterious disease begins killing anyone in the town under the age of 22, Wiley Day needs to figure out what to do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The series explores many important themes, such as the desire to escape, the government\u2019s relationship with its citizens, and the effects of teenage angst.

The show ran for five seasons between 2004 and 2009, and like <em>Schitt\u2019s Creek<\/em>, it\u2019s another <strong>hilarious show that focuses on life in a small-town<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something that viewers seem to love about this show is that Brent Butt, the show\u2019s creator, presents his small town characters as goofy yet also fully fleshed-out and three-dimensional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Corner Gas<\/em> is a gentle, charming character comedy set in Dog River, Saskatchewan. The show revolves around Brent, who runs the town\u2019s only gas station, and Wanda, who works as a retail assistant at the station.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another central figure is Ruby, who owns the adjoining coffee shop, which also happens to be the only one in the town. <strong>If you\u2019re looking for a feel-good comedy<\/strong>, <em>Corner Gas<\/em> is definitely worth checking out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/cord-cutting\/\"><strong>Stop Paying for Bad Cable TV<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_little_mosque_on_the_prairie\"><\/span>12.

However, the two series are not related, save for the title.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The show has a really fun cast of characters,<\/strong> and it explores a range of themes that you won\u2019t get to see on many other TV shows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It explores the interactions of Muslim and non-Muslim townspeople, as well as the contrast of conservative Islam views with more liberal interpretations of the religion.<em> Little Mosque On the Prairie<\/em> ran for six seasons, so this show will keep you entertained for a while.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_travelers\"><\/span>13. Travelers&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Travelers<\/em><\/strong><strong> is another great show to check out<\/strong> if you\u2019re in the mood for something sci-fi and dystopian. While dystopian stories tend to be a bit bleak, <em>Travelers<\/em> is unique in that it has a sliver of hope to it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Travelers<\/em> is about a rag-tag group of individuals from the future who come together in hopes of preventing the disastrous fate of the earth. They do this by sending their consciousness back into time and into 21st-century people, sort of<strong> like the American show <\/strong><strong><em>Quantum Leap<\/em><\/strong><em>.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does the group need to keep their attempts to save the world a secret, but they also find themselves entangled in the lives of the people they meet in the 21st-century, making for some good drama.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_second_jen\"><\/span>14.
