Watchseries; Social topics can be approached with humor or at the very least respectfully in order to convey a message, if that is what's trying to be achieved. This show failed at it miserably. It seems like every single social topic was touched on in such an awkward manner that I couldn't get thru the 1st episode. If I want to be upset by social topics, I'll just watch the news.

The Lake watchseries. It's apparent, that this series WANTS to be the next Canadian "Schitt's Creek." But, NO. Awkward. Poor writing. Performances are so-so. Jordan Gavaris is grating. Julia Stiles is slumming. I've binged this thing, on a Saturday night. Eight episodes. Honestly, I'm likely stopping halfway through the final episode. THAT'S how MUCH I don't care. Not interested in the conclusion.
Lake beauty? Check.
Nostalgia if you grew up spending summers on a lake? Check.
Happy to see actors you have liked for years (Julia Stiles)? Check.
Good acting? Half-check. Some yes, some no.
Potentially funny premise? Check.
Ability to judge how this series will really be, as far as content and how far across boundaries it may go, watching trailer?
NOPE.
Finding it increasingly difficult to choose funny shows that are relevant, and yes, maybe a little edgy (I'm not a prude, though I do like wholesome shows...but, my point being I am alright with a few adult situations, language, etc to a degree)...
but good gravy, there is some extraneous innuendo and reference in this to the point of distraction. Were you trying to go for a gross-out comedy feeling disguised as funny situational humor?
Like one reviewer said, I might have expected this from Netflix, but...(which is why I now only subscribe to them a month at a time to watch a series that has been released, and then I cancel my subscription)...
I kept hanging with some of the ridiculousness for a few episodes, but just now I saw/heard a set of lines that made me say I'm out. Could have been a good run, but nope.
It's nice to finally have a light and yet ranchy drama to combat all the dramatic comedies flooding everywhere. But maybe don't watch with your kids hahahahha.
The story line is well laid out and believable, nice to have a show that does not go far afield of reality.
The cast is superb, save for Julia Stiles: if it had not been pointed out she is in the show, who would have noticed?
Cinematography is excellent, which is impressive given almost all of the show is filmed outdoors.
Well worth the time.
I liked the diversity and quick wit. Easily relatable as far a sibs go and cottage country- hey mine is 40 min north of there. I really hope theres a season two. Great cast as well! Cheers.
