Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This show had a good idea behind it of being a Canadian comedy series with a geeky heart. They were obviously trying to be a kind of a Canadian Big Bang Theory but just couldn't pull it off. The acting is pretty ham and the writing is not very funny. Not a winner of a TV show but not the worst either.

Peter (Ryan Belleville) followed his father with his love of comic book nerdness. His brother Terry (Paul Campbell) escaped by going to Harvard business school. The opposite brothers are forced together when they inherit the family comic book store. Bernie (Lauren Ash) works next door in the clothing store.The humor is hit and miss. There is some fun but especially this is a good fun brother relations. Lauren Ash is the stand out and the discovery here. It has the feeling of a good indie production. It lasted 8 episodes and I could have watched a few more but I doubt more than one season. What's needed is an injection of more popular geek references. It needs better writing.

After watching the first episode, I was hooked! This is not a series to be taken seriously. One needs to understand that this is a joke after joke comedy series and everything including script and props in every scene is literally, a joke. I hate it when I read reviews bashing something witty simply because they take the content too seriously.This is a story of two brothers who take over their late father's comic book store. One is a Harvard dropout and the other lives in a world all his own having truly no grasp on reality. Living and sleeping in bunk beds in the store which is located in a small strip mall next to a clothing store "Sassitude" and "Sportapalooza" with owners and workers throwing out sarcasm, puns and insults at every turn.I actually wish I knew people like this in real life. I would laugh a lot more and the comebacks may come a bit easier during those little opportune moments when you wish you had something witty to say.If you have ever seen and loved TV shows like "PUREPWNAGE" or "Big Bang Theory" then this is right up your alley. If you think the jokes are tasteless and your sense of humor can't handle it, stick with CSI.

Based on the pilot, this show tries to hard to be 'over the top', with joke after joke in seriously bad taste yet no actual funniness. For example, it's supposed to be funny when an overweight, insecure shop girl head butts her mocking, attractive coworker, giving her "the worst concussion they've ever seen" at the ER. It's supposed to be funny that everyone is such a loser with no grasp on reality. That the security guard takes home a mannequin from the store, for 'date night'. That the predatory sports shop owner verbalizes nothing but abuse and threats. It's like they just came up with every loser-y cliché they could think of and threw it in, thinking it would be funny. It isn't. Because it's all just so creepy and there's nothing and no one to like.Watch at your own risk!
