Tonight: Da Kink in My Hair season 2 premiere on Global

Thursday, February 12 – 9:30pm ET/PT

“EVERYTHING IN ITS RIGHT PLACE”

With a new man in her life, Letty is finding it hard to balance motherhood, the shop and her clients – especially without Joy and Nigel around. Over at Claudette’s, Joy tries to change herself in order to fit in to the cold, sterile environment. Her spirit is hard to quash, especially in the presence of Trish Stratus, former wrestler turned media mogul. Meanwhile, left to run the shop, well-intentioned Starr tries to change the rules and finds she is alienating the whole of Letty’s clientele. In the mirror story, Nina, an overweight client, is the victim of weight discrimination at work.

In the news: Being Erica and Soul tonight

From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail (see second and third items):

  • TV in the Age of Obama
    “Soul (Vision, 9 p.m.) is a new Canadian drama, the first hour-long series for tiny, feisty little Vision TV. Mainly it’s about Mahalia Brown (Juno-winning R&B performer Keshia Chanté), a talented singer tempted to transcend the church choir and aim for a pop music career. It is heavily emphasized that the world outside the church is a dangerous place but, also, that the church is out of touch with the real world.” Read more.
