The show's cast also includes Maury Chaykin and Wendel Meldrum as Sheldon's parents, Benjamin Arthur as his older brother Josh, and Nancy Sorel as his aunt, Clara. The Blechers struggle to operate a driving school out of their home in Winnipeg's fading North End. Less Than Kind made its debut October 13, 2008, on Citytv, and moved to HBO Canada in February 2010. The ensemble cast of the critically acclaimed series won Canadian Comedy Awards in 2009 and 2010.Less Than Kind received the 2010 Gemini Award for Best Comedy Program or Series and the inaugural award for Best Comedy Series at the 2013 Canadian Screen Awards. The title sequence and logo for Less Than Kind were inspired by an iconic highway sign at Winnipeg's Confusion Corner intersection, depicting arrows pointing in every direction. The name of the series is found in the first line spoken by Hamlet: "A little more than kin, and less than kind."

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
sdhardman-1 ......of course, it ran for four. Not to say that the final two seasons were bad, but it lost a lot of heart after the passing of Maury Chaykin. The first two years, I would put up against any other dramedy out there, each episode had laughs, but it also had characters that you want to root for going up against some substantial obstacles in life, and it was never less than highly entertaining.The latter two seasons, by contrast, seemed to lose some of the humour, and some characters became less likable. It is natural that the tone of the show would shift darker after the loss of a lead character, but it never seemed to get back to the same level as it was before. Still a good show, but it never had a chance to become what it once was.As a result, I gave the show a 9 overall, would argue that it deserved a 10 for the first seasons, and an 8 for the last ones
mckenzie-c I can't believe I've never seen this mind blowing clever, hilarious and heartfelt experience before season 3.Less Than Kind is one of the greatest shows ever made and holds a special place in many a heart right next to Judd Apatow's dearly departed Freaks and Geeks. The cast is so good it's unbelievable. Given the range of subject matter (death, love, sex, shame, coming of age angst) its amazing to watch how every cast member's character has evolved over time. Each character holds my attention when they get their screen time. The comedy itself is very successful but tends to be a bit over the top. Everyone is so great they make it work and its hilarious. I can only imagine what the writer's room is like when they're riffing on Josh and Eric's parts.If anyone from the show is reading this, don't stop! I joined IMDb just to post this review. It's killing me season 1 and 2 aren't available on DVD yet! HBO get on it!
MovieLoverLBR This is a really funny series! Haven't had as many belly laughs from a show for quite a while. The writing (and acting) may be as good as breaking bad or mad men, though admittedly it's a comedy - the characters are not as deep. However they are deep enough. I'm only through 3 episodes.By the way, the rating system where 10 = excellent - seems a bit low. Meaning 10 should be exceptional, and 9 could be excellent. I'd give this a 9.5 certainly. But I gave it a 10 because it is at least excellent.The fellow from Winnipeg who gave it a 1, not sure if he's a self-hating Winnipeger, or just from the planet humourless, but something has got his goat. I would ignore that rating if you like witty writing, a bit of a slapstick presentation and good colourful characters.
mark-837 This is one of the greatest shows ever made. It is funny, dramatic, sad and poignant. If people complain that they're not laughing out loud it's because it's not that kind of show, its REAL humor and it works.The writing is amazing and the cast is great. I am American and I prefer this show to 99% of the stuff I watch on American television.I was visiting a cousin in Toronto when i first saw it and had to watch them all on CityTv.com because it was so Good. Find it and watch it, you will not regret it. There are some people who obviously don't like the show, the truth is the pilot was not very strong so keep watching after that because it gets amazing. It truly is incredible, fun and entertaining television.
