Seed finale mixed heart and humour

Seed

From Emily Gagne of TV Guide Canada:

‘Seed’ births a fine finale
Sigh. Our little Seed has certainly grown since its debut back in February, hasn’t it? It seems like just yesterday the little guy was just starting out, taking its endearingly hilarious first steps up and on to City’s Monday night schedule. Three months later, it is a fully grown, walking, talking, loving living thing, with a heart almost as prominent as its funny bone. And that’s what Monday night’s season finale was — a whole lot of heart, mixed with a whole lot of funny. Continue reading.
