With a world of TV shows and movies, it can be hard to remember that Canada is home to great entertainment \u2013 from our home grown talent on global screens (Ryan Gosling, eh?) to large Hollywood\u00a0movies being filmed in Canadian cities like Toronto and Vancouver. To celebrate our home and native land, <\/em>VMedia has compiled a list of our favourite Canadian programming. In no particular order, here are our top picks for most memorable and gripping Canadian TV series that you can watch right now.<\/p>\n Anne \u2013 CBC <\/strong><\/p>\n Anne is a reboot of the classic Canadian book, Anne of Green Gables. <\/em>Anne reimagines the story of a young orphan, Anne Shirley, who is seeking love, acceptance and her place in the world. After an abusive childhood in orphanages and the homes of strangers, she is mistakenly sent to live with siblings Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert and changes the lives of everyone around her.<\/p>\n Bad Blood \u2013 City TV<\/strong><\/p>\n This compelling crime drama series details the rise and fall of one of Canada\u2019s most notorious mafia bosses, Vito Rizzuto. The series begins with Rizzuto controlling all crime and government in Montreal and the fall of his mob after he is imprisoned. Like most mafia family dramas, Bad Blood<\/em> is about more than crime and corruption \u2013 at its core are themes of peace, power and family dynamics.<\/p>\n Mary Kills People \u2013 Global TV<\/strong><\/p>\n Another Canadian drama series, Mary saves people\u2019s lives by day, and by night, she ends them by helping terminally ill patients end their lives on their own terms. As her business picks up and consequences start to creep into her day-to-day life, Mary must do moral mathematics and confront her own culpability and capacity for violence.<\/p>\n Baronness von Sketch Show — CBC<\/strong><\/p>\n With its predominantly female cast, writers and directors, this sketch comedy series stands out in a male-dominated genre. Accolades like \u201cthe best thing to come out of Canada since Ryan Gosling\u201d set the bar high. The Baronesses take on everyday minutia (such as the appropriate amount of exclamation points to use in work emails) and turns them into hilarious and exaggerated sketches.<\/p>\n Cardinal \u2013 CTV <\/strong><\/p>\n This award-winning drama series has been praised by critics as \u201clandmark Canadian TV\u201d and in it\u2019s second season, has already been renewed for two more seasons. Cardinal follows two detectives, John Cardinal and Lise Delorne, as they investigate the murder of a local teenage girl. As their investigation ramps up, a new missing persons case with similar details leads Cardinal to believe that there is active serial killer in the area.<\/p>\n Crawford \u2013 CBC <\/strong><\/p>\n From the creator of the famed Trailer Park Boys<\/em>, this family comedy series features a high functioning dysfunctional and quirky family. Crawford<\/em> follows the story of a suburban family with three children: Wendy, who is trying to figure out life; Don comes home after being kicked out of his band and discovers he can speak to raccoons, and Brian, who unites the family. Themes about being nice to other people despite how weird they may be, getting along and being kind to animals run throughout the series.<\/p>\n Alias Grace \u2013 CBC <\/strong><\/p>\n This 6 episode miniseries is an adaptation of Margaret Atwood\u2019s novel by the same name, Alias Grace<\/em> tells the story of young Grace Marks \u2013 an Irish immigrant who works as a servant in Upper Canada. Based loosely on 19th<\/sup> century events, young Grace is accused of the murder of her employer and is subsequently imprisoned. This series creates a fictional biography in which Grace walks a psychologist through her entire past to determine whether she is deserving of an early release.<\/p>\n Orphan Black \u2013 Space Channel<\/strong><\/p>\n Currently in its last season, this science fiction series revolves around Sarah Manning, who witnesses the suicide of a woman who appears to be her doppelganger. Sarah discovers that she is a clone and has many clones as part of an illegal human cloning experiment. The series raises thoughtful issues about the moral and ethical consequences of human cloning, its effect on personal identity and the control of human life. A cross between United States of Tara, Alias and LOST, this series has something to captivate a wide audience.<\/p>\n Degrassi \u2013 Family Channel <\/strong><\/p>\n No list of Canadian TV could ever be complete without mention of Degrassi \u2013 an iconic Canadian TV show that has been reinvented five times over the years.
