I was wondering when This Life was going to return, so I checked the Internet today only to find out it’s been cancelled. How disappointing. I discovered the show by accident during season two, and after just one episode I was hooked. I ended up following it through to the end of the season. I really liked the characters and their story lines. And I thought it was beautifully shot in Montreal. It really is perplexing and frustrating how what I think is good TV doesn’t survive against so much of the garbage that is competing for air time.

And just think what the bulk of the crap thats on. This is what the good stuff is up against… mind numbing list: Reality shows…(now what are those people that are paid to look ridiculous on tv called again….oh yeah…actors!). The only thing real is their pay checks. Soap shows (slow trainwreck every day for decades). If you miss a year you can catch up on the next episode. Game shows (appeals to the bingo people of the world…i guess) Sports (which are just games most cant do, so they watch others do and with a beer for that macho… Read more »

Yes. It was actually one of the good canadian shows. Kind of figures though. Its like we cant be too good or have something too good these days. I guess if its not a kind of comedy it wont survive. And with US programing that have all but crashed over the rail with varying levels of crap that leaves us with even less to watch. Doesnt it make you wonder who is actually getting paid to make these decisions? And who is actually listening to them? Well there is always british tv…for now. Perhaps this is the beginning of the… Read more »

I was so looking forward to the return of the trials and tribulations of this family drama.
It was such a caring and real series that hit very close to home for my family.
So sad to not know how Natalie will handle things.

So disappointed to learn this week that
This Life has been cancelled. Agree with all previous comments.
It was a ‘must see’ in our household.

For shame, it was a quality contemporary Canadian drama which CBC failed to promote to the same degree as the limp “Schitts’ Creek” and the mouldy “Murdoch Mysteries”. Perhaps another network will pick it up, or perhaps viewers will have to wait five years a la “Michael Every Day” for CBC to pick it up again.

And the CBC wonders why viewers have left them in droves…..inept management decisions like the cancelling of home grown well made shows like This Life.

I looked forward to seeing This Life every week. So proud that it was a Canadian show. The storylines were realistic and the acting was heartfelt. I am disappointed to see the show has been cancelled.
Another good show bites the dust.
