To quit or not to quit?

[rosiespark]

I've been watching Twitch City and I just don't get it. I just... don't. This makes me sad because the impression that I got from Canada fandom was that it's well worth watching. So, yes, I'm disappointed and wondering why I'm not getting it...

I'm six episodes in, halfway in other words, and as of this point, I can't get past Curtis being a lazy selfish money-obsessed manipulator, Hope is a nitwit with a pathetic faith in the niceness of other people, Nathan is just plain horrible and I suspect that I only found Newbie unobjectionable because he's played by Callum Keith Rennie.

So - HELP!! If you love Twitch City, please PLEASE fill me in on what makes it appeal to you. Does it all come together in the next six episodes? And is there more Callum or have we seen the last of Newbie? Because I am dangerously close to saying WTF and abandoning it in favour of something more rewarding. Gah.

But I was doing so well at being an Honorary Canadian!

I'm polite, I have a number of Canadian friends, I'm watching lots of Canadian films and tv and listening to Canadian music, and my recent lust objects have all been Canadian.

And now you tell me Twitch City is the acid test.

I think I shall sulk.

It's not easy, being Canadian. ;~)
