U.S. execs still don't "know," understand or care enough about West Indians and those from the Caribbean for this to be accurately portrayed by any actors here in the U.S.. Case in point: any scene/movie/episode that calls for an actor to be from the W.I./Carib, they ALWAYS hire the worst actor with the worst accent possible, rather than one that has a reasonable grasp of the dialect enough to successfully mimic them....or even hire actors that actually ARE of Caribbean heritage.

This needs to come to the US.

I really want to watch this show now, it seems funny. I feel for Star though.

Not bitter, just realistic and honest. That reply was in response to someone saying the show should come to the U.S.. The REALITY, is that a show like this would not be able to withstand the "changes" that would occur by TV executives here in the U.S. That's the truth not an exaggeration. You deal with that.

@6151RichmondStreet I can read, thank you very much : ) I just didn't understand why you were bitching about U.S. execs on here : ) Just relax and enjoy the show, geez, bitter a little?

Please learn to read. My comment has NOTHING to do with the actors in this show, but is a response to how Caribbean & West Indian characters are unfortunately still portrayed on T.V. shows & in movies in the U.S. I doubt this show would ever reach the U.S. instead we would get the "U.S." version of the show, with a poor selection of actors hired by casting execs that just don't care enough or are unwilling to do any research to capture the correct dialect of any island or Caribbean country.

@grymlix This is a Canadian show with real caribbean-canadian and canadian actors, which is what the show is about. what's your point?

Accents are horrible, but it was a good show.
