It’s been a few weeks since I wrote my initial impressions to jPod [found here], and with a few more episodes under the belt, this would be a good time to fully weigh in on the show.
The show continues its slight edginess and quirkiness that just seems to elude the mainstream, though I must admit the feel is more of a bleeding-edge culture, rather than uncontrolled wackiness. The acting continues to impress, but the writing requires a bit more tightening so that audiences won’t get overwhelmed by the layers of stories being told. The show is still solid, but there is still more that can be done to improve and reach a wider audience.
While the show is still alive and kicking, CBC’s move to slot it on Friday night is a worrying sign that the show is losing the confidence of the network’s scheduling executives. I hope the show would see to the end of this season [when the US networks will resume its airing of prime time shows], but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
