The series is available to Crave subscribers starting Friday, so viewers will need an active Crave subscription to watch. Those who follow Keeso's earlier work can expect the same Canadian comedy style.

Canadian comedy series continue to find audiences through streaming platforms that commission original Canadian creators. Viewers who enjoyed Keeso's earlier work have a new series to watch on Crave.
