This boy is more mature than his years in the first season of the Son of a Critch TV show on The CW. As we all know, Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Son of a Critch is cancelled or renewed for season two (it’s already been renewed in Canada). Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustrated when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we invite you to rate all of the first season episodes of Son of a Critch here.
A Canadian coming-of-age comedy on The CW, the Son of a Critch TV show is based on Mark Critch’s memoir. The series stars Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, Mark Critch, Claire Rankin, Sophia Powers, Mark Rivera, Colton Gobbo, and Malcolm McDowell. The story begins as a young Mark (Ainsworth) enters St. Johns, a junior high school in 1980s Newfoundland. While he is 11 years old on the outside, Mark is much older on the inside. He uses comedy and self-deprecation to win friends and connect with the small collection of people in his limited world. Mike Critch (Critch) is his father and a reporter for a local radio station, VOCM. His gossipy mother is Mary (Rankin), and his long-haired older brother is Mike Jr. (Gobbo). Patrick “Pop” Critch (McDowell), the brood’s live-in grandfather, shares a bedroom with Mark. He smokes in bed, raids funeral parlors for sandwiches, and moons Mark every morning.
What do you think? Which season one episodes of the Son of a Critch TV series do you rate as wonderful, terrible, or somewhere between? Do you believe the second season of Son of a Critch should be picked up and aired on The CW?
