    This Canadian show has kept me watching and interested, i've been grabbing season 2 as it airs, i'm four episodes away from watching all of season 1.

    I think it's a good show, explores alot of relationship issues, with a kind of time travel quirk....Erica goes back in time through the help of her therapist, sounds whacky right?....but it works.
    TBH it's primarily a womens show, it's not SATC but it does have some adult themes.

    Being shown on E4 at the mo'.....i'm not afraid to embrace my inner 13-year-old female side ;)

    :)

    From what ive seen of the trailers ive a feeling that it would be a much better show if it was called "Being Eric"

    :eek: You want to embrace thirteen-year-old females!

    But seriously, I'm glad of the recommendation. I saw an ad for it this morning with the sound down. I couldn't make out what was happening, but it looked interesting.

    I think Being Erica is a pretty good show. :)
    Shes not where she was expecting to be by now and the show looks at the what ifs in her life.
    The actual character has a blog/vlog on the cbc website.
    Its good marketing and believable that gives it its authenticity.
    If you get a chance you should check it out. :D

    Aye, seen all of it now....all of season 1 + all so far from S.2....the ratings are quite solid for a Canadian show.

    It actually has good production values, last ep. went into the future to 2019, had some effect shots that looked quality. Hoping it gets a third season.

    [mods - can we merge the two threads please?]

    I find Erin Karpluk kinda........hot.
