My Favourite 10 Canadian Shows
1. The Kids in the Hall - hilarious, weird, bold enough that it’s hard to imagine the early seasons even being on TV today
2. The Porter - gorgeous period piece with great character work, strong serial arcs, & big episodes. Should have been so much more of this show

My 10 Favourite British TV Shows
1. The Office (UK) - sadder and more existential than most of the shows it inspired, but that’s also what made it so funny
2. Spaced - scrappy indie TV from Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost before they got huge; s02e05 is an all-time favourite TV ep for me

Every year for more than a decade of Halloweens, my kid has come up with an idea or done a rough sketch and my costume-design-genius wife has delivered the goods. Here’s a THREAD, starting with “one-eyed furry monster.” This one used a repurposed gorilla costume. 🧵
