An overcrowded story with too many characters and plot lines, and reliance on one-line political jokes to carry the humour. The one really bright spot is the always enchanting and focussed performance of Jane Smythe as Abby, a disgruntled American trying to get a foothold in Canada by work or marriage. If the rest of the silliness was stripped away to focus on this character’s arc, the show would be much stronger.
