Nathan N @Nathanneq Oct 6, 2026 Kim’s Convenience was a fantastic tribute to Toronto, but its final seasons suffered from a jarring shift in tone. Forcing heavy dramatic elements into the narrative—specifically Umma’s MS diagnosis—felt like a desperate attempt to create conflict when the writers ran out of comedic ideas. On a personal level, having lost a loved one to illness at a young age, I found this attempt to extract comedy from chronic disease distasteful. It was so bad that I literally stopped watching right then and there. Sitcoms serve as an escape from real-life hardships, not a venue for shoehorned medical drama. It was a frustrating misstep that ultimately let down a beloved show and a stellar cast. See more Wouter M @RT15756352 Apr 18, 2026 Good shows. Racists card is played a lot only down side See more Cork B @RT87142816 Oct 17, 2023 It's cute and well meaning. I liked the family, especially the dad who just blurts out whatever he thinks. It also uses the lens of a Korean immigrant family to poke and prod at bits of society like church or gay culture - stuff you could never do outright anymore. That is both a plus of the show and a criticism of the rest of TV. This show is pretty light fluff, but that is what it meant to be, so to call it shallow is missing the point.
