It is still running, so no proper end yet, but Murdoch Mysteries has been on forever (currently running season 18 I think), so there’s a lot of episodes to binge! I also second Flashpoint, it was a great show. Also enjoyed Rookie Blue. Answer from Snoo-45470 on reddit.com

r/AskACanadian on Reddit: What are some good Canadian TV dramas?
September 26, 2024 -
19-2 was of the best shows I've ever seen, and pretty much no one in The States has heard of it. What else am I missing? I'm looking for something modern, and preferably with a proper ending so wife and I can binge watch.
I do not speak french, so it has to be in English too.
Edit: Thank you for all of the suggestions. I haven't heard of most, but I'll look into every one of them. Hard to believe a lot of good CA drama gets overlooked here in the states. Seems everyone knows the comedies like Schitts Creek or Trailer Park Boys, but none of the serious stuff.

One word: Flashpoint. More words: It is one of the best dramas, Canadian or otherwise, that I've seen in a long time. It's based in Toronto and is about the SRU (Strategic Response Unit) which is essentially a SWAT team focusing on negotiation and de-escalation. The cast is amazing (great actors, great characters), the writing is a constant stream of gems and it hits like an emotional truck every other episode, just not to a point that makes you depressed. To this day, I'm shocked how little people know about it considering it had a damn good budget and tons (tons) of accolades.

April 8, 2020 - After his teen-idol days, he returned to his native Canada to star in this edgy, unabashedly unrestrained FX-style sitcom about a sleazy, amoral, self-absorbed used car salesman. (Available for purchase on Amazon) Set in and named after the real town of Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, this very new show features sketch performers Mark Little and Andrew Bush as brothers who return to their hometown for the first time in decades, only to find that the place has taken on a surreal Pete and Pete meets Welcome to Nightfall kind of vibe, albeit seeped in Canadiana.

r/AskACanadian on Reddit: Canadian series or movies based in Canada
December 23, 2022 -
I am from India, and have watched many series and movies that are based in US, and I get a basic idea of US culture (not much, just a basic idea, as I know TV can be deceiving when it comes to showing culture).
For eg, from watching TV/movies these are things I know about US: big cars/trucks, lack of walking culture, hurricanes, credit-cards, lawyers, can-sue-for-anything, karens, 4th of July, screwed-without-health-insurance, no-trains, NY subway, ... you get the gist.
I wanted to get myself acquainted with Canada.
Do you have any recommendation of good series (preferred) or movies that highlight Canada and culture of Canada?

Anne with an E and Murdoch Mysteries show a glimpse of Edwardian Canada. Corner Gas, Heartland and Rookie Blue are more modern day. Shitts Creek, Letterkenny and Shoresy are funny take on modern small town Ontario. Kim’s Convenience is a funny take on life in Toronto for an immigrant family. Transplant a more serious take & medical drama. Degrassi is a long running take on high school life in a gritty part of Toronto. Due South is a show about a RCMP officer in Chicago that is a classic and for some reason has stayed popular in the UK, Australia and New Zealand longer than it has in Canada.

Are there any TV series set in Canada but produced entirely in the USA? As opposed to how so many shows are set in the USA but produced entirely in Canada. - Quora
Answer (1 of 4): There are two main factors at play. If it’s a CBC sponsored show, they must shoot in Canada and hire mostly Canadian talent to get funding. Thus the cast of, say, “Schitt’s Creek” are mostly Canadians. That said, “Schitt’s Creek” kind of pretends they are in an ...
