Huh?

Shoresy S1 — 3.5/5

Jared Keeso and Jacob Tierney have figured out a formula that I really enjoy—at least at the outset. They fill the parts with essentially one note characters, but what really elevates it is this very simple, very beautiful cinematic language that knows how to make the most out of stiff actors and small plotlines. So many episodes are filled with slow pans and zooms while a banger plays in the background, giving everything an emotional weight that makes the one notes echo and—fuck it, man, it works. At least at the outset. I loved the first season or two of Letterkenny before those one notes really wore out their welcome, through repetition becoming t-shirt catchphrase machines.
