This Wholesome Comedy Show With 100% on Rotten Tomatoes Captures the Wild Ride of Growing Up
Son of a Critch is a largely true coming-of-age series that earns a glowing reputation with its ability to balance humor and heart.
Canadians are a polite, funny bunch, by and large, so it's somewhat surprising that sitcoms made in the Great White North rarely make waves across the border. Of course, shows like the 1970s one-off The Trouble with Tracy would make a strong argument for why that was the case (don't go looking for it... you've been warned). That has since turned around, with series like Workin' Moms and the critically acclaimed Schitt's Creek finding success in the U.S. One of the more recent Canadian sitcoms to tread American waters is the wholesome(ish) Son of a Critch, the top-rated scripted sitcom on the CW for 2023-24 (followed closely by fellow Canuck coms Children Ruin Everything and Run the Burbs, and coming back for a fourth season). It's a rating the sitcom has definitely earned, given its status as one of a handful of sitcoms to score 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
