This evening, two Americans who love Canada checked out some new-to-us Canadian TV shows. We love the talented actors who tell great stories set in a country we love very much.

Our first program was Kim’s Convenience, which is about the lives of a Korean Canadian family that owns a convenience store in a Toronto neighborhood. The show features Paul Sun-Hyung Lee from The Mandalorian and lately in Murdoch Mysteries and Simu Liu, who you have seen in Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Then we checked out Hudson & Rex, a show about a detective who teams up with his very good boy and very trained German Shepherd Dog. John Reardon, who you might have seen in Arctic Air and Hallmark Movies, stars with his K9 companion the late Diesel vom Burgimwald. They work to solve cases and bring people to justice.

Part of my motivation was in honor of King Charles’ throne speech to Canada that happened on May 27th. Nonetheless, we look forward to seeing more of these programs and checking out others from North of The Border.
