Movie Reviews of Twitch City - The Complete Series
Movie Review: Quirky and different
Summary: 4 Stars
I am not a fan of most television. I watch mostly documentaries and news programs. Usually I think that sitting in your living room and looking at one on TV is a bizarre passtime but this show is different in that it pokes fun at just that. The story line and characters are addictive. If you are a fan of The Kids in the Hall you really must check this out.
Summary of Twitch City - The Complete Series
Tony-winning writer/director/actor Don McKellar created this quirky non com (neither sit nor dot) that explores our collective addiction to television.One of the most subversive sitcoms ever, Twitch City tells the discordant tale of Curtis (Don McKellar, Last Night, who also wrote the series), a stunted slacker who's emotionally incapable of leaving the apartment he shares with his despised roommate Nathan (Daniel MacIvor, The Five Senses). When Nathan is arrested for accidentally murdering a bum, Curtis seizes the opportunity to rent out Nathan's room and woo Nathan's neurotic girlfriend, Hope (the ever-delectable Molly Parker, Deadwood, Kissed)--so long as their romance doesn't interfere with watching lurid talk show The Rex Reilly Show (host Reilly was played by Kid in the Hall Bruce McCullough in Twitch City's first series, then by Kid in the Hall Mark McKinney in the second). The hero of this Canadian series is lazy, narcissistic, untrustworthy, and addicted to television, but that's not what makes Twitch City subversive; it's something far more slippery, something to do with the show's all-around unwholesome flavor--imagine, if you will, Three's Company as directed by David Lynch. Your average sitcom doesn't build entire episodes around mysterious pineapple almond cookies, cats controlling the world, or infestations of Nazis. Needless to say, many viewers will find this show repellent, but if you're the right person, Twitch City will scratch an itch you didn't even know you had. This dvd has all 13 episodes; the extras are minimal--a few commentaries and bios--but the show speaks for itself. Co-starring Callum Keith Rennie (Battlestar Galactica, Hard Core Logo). --Bret Fetzer
