The show aired on CBC Television and CBC Gem in Canada and on HBO Max in the U.S., and ran for three seasons.[3][4][5] The series received positive reviews from critics and was the most-nominated television series at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards.[6][7] The show has won Best Comedy Series at the Canadian Screen Awards twice and won a Peabody Award.[8]
In October 2023, it was announced that the third season would also be the last.[9] Season three started broadcasting on November 17 on CBC and the final episode was released on December 8.[10]
