    Anyone got any show recommendations on CBC Gem? Bf and I just downloaded it but not really sure what’s good yet.

    We’re fans of sci fi and fantasy if anything like that is available on it

    (Edit: thanks for the recs folks!)

      Gary and his Demons is wild, hard to say if it’s up your alley.

      Cavendish you might enjoy the supernatural angle.

      Dark Matter? Is that on gem? It was filmed in Toronto and has a small following. (Just checked it is not…)

      Started Poker face and it’s got some good vibes.

      Check out “station eleven” — a show set in a post-apocalyptic world but isn’t like any show you’ve ever watched in any genre. Only one season long and doesn’t end on a cliffhanger or anything, just a nice contained story

      I’ve started listing a few CBC gem shows I’d like to watch (though I don’t really watch much tv so it may take me some time.) Anyway, from my list there are a couple that might fit the bill:

      Britannia - Trailer

      Penny Dreadful Trailer

      Family Law is pretty good. Lawyer show, set in Vancouver, stars Jewel Staite.
