Twitch City: The Complete Series

Tony-winning writer/director/actor Don McKellar (The Drowsy Chaperone) created this quirky "non-com" (neither sit nor dot) that explores our collective addiction to television. McKellar stars as Curtis, a man who ingests dangerous levels of cathode rays, much to the chagrin of his girlfriend Hope (Molly Parker, Deadwood) and various other inhabitants of his downtown home, which is neither semi-detached nor semi-attached.

There’s a lot of wandering around in bathrobes while surfing the dial looking for existential meaning in the daily quotidian of dreck that filters into the living room, thanks to on-onscreen appearances from Kids in the Hall Mark McKinney and Bruce McCullough.

Thirteen bouts of episodic behaviour that somehow made it to the CBC. Yes, it has a following.

Guest stars include: Al Waxman (King of Kensington), Bruce McCulloch (Kids in the Hall), Mark McKinney (Kids in the Hall), Jennifer Jason Leigh (Childstar), Valerie Buhagiar (Roadkill), Kenneth Welsh (This is Wonderland), Hugh Dillion (Hard Core Logo), Setfan Brogren (Degrassi), Joyce DeWitt (Three’s Company).
