Watch Remedy. Do it.

Late last night I wrote a little something about why you should watch Remedy. And I meant every word of it so sincerely that I actually refrained from using medical puns when coming up with a title. Not because I’m better than that but because it deserves better than that.

Special thanks to Dillon Casey who motivated me to write it. I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that Griffin Conner is the most real character on television right now. 

Remedy. It’s the Family You Choose That Matters Most.

“Remedy isn’t just a medical drama (though I have stopped watching others in favour of it). It isn’t just Canadian television (but it does have a floor hockey team). And it’s not just a family show (even if you want Mel & Sandy to be your sisters).

There are no dragons, vampires, clones or kingpins. It’s not in an alternate decade, timeline or universe. There is no great government conspiracy at play. No vigilantes or super heroes.

Remedy is life. The messy parts you don’t want to talk about. And the sensitive ones you can’t. It’s the familiarity of routine and the shock of the unexpected.”
