just watch it!

Crappy film

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This Canadian TV series is fantastic. I saw the full first season without leaving my couch. It is impossible to stop watching, that's how good this is. The dialog is intelligent and full of surprising humor, a masterful use of language and theatrical sparks. Actors play the scenes with total involvement, they construct and maintain the atmosphere, the dialog and their glances tie them together in a perfectly directed story. Of course, Paul Gross is bewitching. His screen persona, his voice, his whole act, are so good - a delight. All of them are so good, though. And last, but not the least: the plot is great. You can't help but thinking that this show reproduces in a theater, what is happening on the political stage in the US. People with no taste or culture, but who control the money, try to buy and sell artists. Absolutely the greatest TV series in many years.

I highly recommend this program to any and all. It's a riveting account of life backstage at a theatre. I was hooked five minutes into the premiere episode. The writing is excellent and the actors couldn't be better. The characters are so well defined, I feel like I know them all. I just watched the final episode this morning and cried hard, knowing that was the end.Is there anyone out there who might have some say about doing more seasons? Come on. I just want to go hang out at Anna's desk.Please.

I don't have much to say about this series other than it is one of the best television series of all time! Anyone who has the slightest appreciation for Shakespeare or the theatre in general will get instantly hooked on this series, each season having one of Shakespeare's major tragedies at it's focus. Paul Gross proves himself to be one of the most underrated actors working to day as the brilliant Geoffrey Tennant, and his real life wife Martha Burns is wonderful as star actress Ellen Fanshaw. Stephen Ouimette Steals every scene he's in as the ghost of former Artistic Director Oliver Wells, and in season one there's excellent work from Luke Kirby and a pre-Notebook Rachel McAdams. If you haven't seen this series yet, go buy the DVD immediately!

I believe it's been on Sundance the last several months, and I've made an effort to watch it as often as I can. I find it both touching and hilarious, sometimes simultaneously. It was only today that I recognized "Geoffrey" as Frazer from Due South, though. Even without knowing that, I enjoyed his performance as the decidedly off-balance Geoffrey. The series all together intrigues and excites me, being a person who's been in theater myself, even if it is simply community theater. I adore this show! It was also something of a shock to recognize Rachel MacAdams in this series, as previously I'd only known her for her frothy teen roles. It shouldn't have come as a surprise that she was up for Oscar nomination, having seen her in this series now.
