I also like that the show's Canadian. But it's subtle, so it's just there. You can hear it in the accents and of course, see it in the architecture of Toronto. But I love the show because the characters are real, they're identifiable and they're incredibly endearing.

I have been a fan of Being Erica since day one. And you are right: it totally sneaks up on you! It is not often that I look forward to watching a Canadian show over the very very many US shows that I watch...but Being Erica was that exception. It is unique in its premise (not being a hospital, cop or lawyer show) and you actually get caught up in the story and (gasp!) learn a few life lessons along the way.
Plus it's a little "sciency-fictiony" the way she can go back in time an "undo" a regret.
Love it! This is great show that needs to be promoted more!
PS Emily: Republic of Doyle better than Being Erica? Oh dear. I do watch Doyle but come on...it's a detective show. Aren't there enough of those?

'Being Erica' is a fun show, and it gets even stronger when it settles into its format in season two and starts to test the limits of its core concept. The show's continued success and growth in the US supposedly will have a lot of impact on whether there'll be a season three...

Actually the things that happen really are retained.

This show is really just fun to watch and slightly addicting. Love it.

I've seen season 2 already and without giving anything away... Erica improved so much more as a person. The show manages to pull you in because of the what if scenarios of choosing to do things differently. Everyone always has that what if I did it this way or said this instead. Even if no one wants to admit it.

Oh and I'm a great big middle aged man who cried his eyes out at the season one finale.

At the risk of making a "me too" comment. I really enjoy this show too. I've watched all the episodes on Hulu. I LOVE the fact it's proudly Canadian. Because it's Canadian the sensibility is a little different. I can't see the casual references to marijuana use work the same way on American TV - at least not in this kind of show. I've learned about Toronto and Casa Loma and a bunch of other casual references that have sent me to Wikipedia. Erin Karpluk is gorgeous in a nice girl sort of way. The supporting cast is appealing. There might be the tiniest bit of guilt in this pleasure, but I'm getting over the guilt and enjoying the pleasure.

Yay! Love for "Being Erica". This show is fantastic and needs more press!

I caught a couple of the early episodes...it's pretty good. I don't have SoapNet, so thanks Tricia for letting me know it's on Hulu. Maybe I'll catch up with some more.

I love this show! Watched a marathon of the first season when I was home sick and have become a fan ever since. Its the only show that I make sure I catch each week.
