Review of Letterkenny

Letterkenny (2016–2023)
9/10
Sharp, dry and dead-on satire of small-town Ontario
10 April 2016
It's just friggin funny, eh? From the angst-ridden small-town goth wannabes to the obviously flaming pastor to the hockey hair goons and the stoic farm boys, everyone drinks too much, fights too much and does a whole lot of nothing in Letterkenny. It takes small-town stereotypes and skewers the hell out of them, but doesn't stick to making fun of rural Canada, as the city folk get their comeuppance too. Principle topics of plots: sledding, drinking, hockey, fighting, religion, political correctness, weed and unemployment. If Trailer Park Boys is a slice of Canada's white trash culture, Letterkenny is a clever homage, explaining why so many people in the second-largest nation on Earth can drive hundreds of miles and still go nowhere.
