We Watched CBC’s “Edgy” New Show So You Never Have To

I want to set the record straight before we get into the details of the actual show. No one wants a funny, smart, relevant show that reflects contemporary Canadian life more than us. Canadians are uniquely clever and dark and hilarious so where is our Friends, or Seinfeld or better yet, Happy Endings? Why do we keep picking through the same tired garbage heap of ideas for our programming? I've seen Anne of Green Gables, ok? I get it. Enough already. So again, let me preface all of this with, I wanted CBC's new "edgy" comedy, Four in the Morning to be good. The premise is certainly promising—each episode is a snapshot of the lives of a group of friends at four in the morning when truths are revealed and anything can happen. But the reality? Well, here's what happened when Justin Ling and I sat down to watch the pilot on Sunday. Which was mistake number one because it actually premiered on Friday night at 9 PM, not exactly peak millennial TV watching hours.
